People addict. Up for a change, anytime, anywhere.

Sitting at #LBSWIB surrounded by women who are absolute powerhouses in business is a top-up to motivation & inspiration. Surround yourself with role models, even if it's only occasionally.

@Sarahngb It's annoying until you realise that the advertisers, the platforms, the sales people, the designers, engineers, account managers, ad operations people all depend on ads for their livelihoods. Without ads, hundreds of people would be made redundant..

Balance is timing, not intensity.

It is not doing multiple tasks at 80%, but developing the skill of turning it on and turning it off.

Sleep fully, then work intensely. Focus deeply, then relax completely. Give each phase your full attention.

Balance is "when to" not "how to."

5 things to consider removing next year:

-one toxic person
-one annoying customer
-one topic that robs your attention
-one belief that’s holding you back
-one commitment that isn’t worth the effort

You don’t have to add things to your life to improve it.

[The Stoic Emperor @TheStoicEmperor]

You don’t have time to “keep up” with all the irrelevant ephemera that marketers and manipulators want you to respond to.

TV can go unwatched.

Articles can remain unread.

Trends can fade away unnoticed.

Don’t react to things that don’t matter.

Make time for your life.

- set "workweek hours" in calendar
- communicate! for one-offs I mention it's fine if it's late. Recurring meetings, I mention It'll need to be within reasonable working hours
- Block off thinking-times in calendar
It helps being a night owl when working w the US from Europe :)

Overheard today - in Iceland, on a rare 18°c day - "I didn't realise the heat would be this oppressive"
Meanwhile in Cairo/even London/Paris 🤦🏻‍♀️

How do you gather hundreds of Egyptians in London?
Bring an Egyptian comedian over.

#AR for a cause. Last week of #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth. Open the image on your laptop, follow the 3 point instructions with your phone. Watch the image change! (No special apps or QR code readers needed)

@safistication Harsh. Glad you persevered through the chipmunch tho. Twitter would be terribly dull without you

#TFW it's 6am on the day of your flight away & after an all nighter, you try to pack your 2 week old baby niece into the suitcase too. (She fit!) #stowaway. Amazing how intensely you can miss someone that didn't even exist a month ago 💕

I LOVE this!
So much patience, research, and updates/corrections went into this. It shows passion for the truth, and standing up for a fellow woman :)

I wholeheartedly recommend that you read this, but if your... https://t.co/YsCh5195D5

I found an "uplifting memes" blog - and it's made my entire day. :)
Some here, and there are SO many other good ones! #tumblr #wholesome #positive

"Research before you post" is the new "think before you speak".
Considering "research" is literally just a search, please #DontFeedTheBeast

[Cabinet Office @cabinetofficeuk]

Just because a story is online, doesn't mean it's true. The internet is great, but can also be used to spread misleading news and content. Make sure you know what you’re sharing. Don’t feed the beast.
