Three years ago, at this time of year, I moved to Athens 🎒 with my partner whom I'd then only had known for little over 6 months. Since then, we've moved a couple of times more and are planning our next destination as we speak. We both have a very open m…https://t.co/23nU1cnLuz

Back to standard time, brighter mornings and darker evenings. 🌚 It's common for Scandinavians to feel less energized during fall and winter due to the changes in light during the day.

My recipe for dealing with the change:

There was this word that caught my attention as I moved to Oslo in 2013 and enrolled in this mentorprogram for women in tech as a mentee.

That word is mestringsfølelse. 🤩

It is Norwegian 🇳🇴 and it stands for a sense of empowerment, the feeling you g…https://t.co/JsfAdoEUQL

To improve in any area, we need:

The Mindset
The Principles
The Tactics

Just 1 of these = A start

(by importance)

Tactics > Principles > Mindset
(by popularity)

Seek the important, not just the popular.
