How to Avoid Burnout

The epidemic that nobody talks about. — Life is a mess. It’s a whirlwind of pressures, responsibilities, expectations and our seemingly endless attempts to try to remain happy along the way. It feels like there’s always so much to do and so little time in which to get it done. There’s our work, our relationships, our finances…

How Attaching Emotion to Your Goals Will Ensure You Achieve Them

It’s about emotion, not practicality. — We all have goals and aspirations. Some are small, micro-goals like getting up twenty minutes earlier or walking to work more often. Some are larger, like packing on thirty pounds of muscle or starting our own business. Whatever form our goals take, and however badly we might want them, we…

How I Went From Earning Peanuts to Becoming a Full-Time Writer

And how you can capitalise on similar opportunities. — “I’ve just got a part-time job at McDonald's,” my friend said, sitting across from me in our school common room. We were seventeen at the time, most of our classmates landing weekend positions earning peanuts from local businesses. They seemed pretty happy. To me, it sounded like hell. At that…

You Don’t Have Time to Wait

Life’s finite nature makes it valuable. — On the 14th of April, 2018, I proposed to my girlfriend — the woman I’d been with for six years, since I was just thirteen years old. She said yes. However, this wasn’t a typical proposal. The elephant in the room was the four-inch mass of cancerous cells that were…

Sometimes Rock Bottom is Exactly Where You Need to Be

The slingshot effect and why it matters. — I’ve been in Thailand for a month now. Inheriting an entirely unexpected £10K from my grandparents a few months ago, I flew out with one intention. To change my life. Not in the typical ‘find myself’ type of way. But instead, to forcefully break my routine of waking up, procrastinating…

College Degrees Are (Largely) Obsolete

Here’s how to succeed without further education. — Although less fixed than they were in previous generations, our attitudes about career success haven’t changed much. Most of us still think that without a degree, you won’t make it very far. Of course, there are exceptions. There’s Gates, Zuckerberg, and Branson — but we’re taught that that’s all they…

6 Writing Mistakes I See All the Time

The usual suspects I see as an editor. — As a professional writer and the editor of a viral publication, I see writers making the same fatal errors day in and day out when producing their content. It’s a shame. Often, a piece will tick so many boxes and yet leave a few critical ones unchecked. Small, easily-fixable errors…

The Only Thing Holding You Back

It’s not money, ability, or opportunity. — I’ve always had this unwavering sense of self-belief. It was Matt Sandrini that brought my attention to this when we lived together in Barcelona. “I’ve figured out your superpower,” he informed me at 7 am as I stumbled into the kitchen half-asleep. “You don’t question whether or not things will…
