2020: Make the 1.8% Promise

January 1, 2020January 1, 2020 Wendy Fisher

January 1st means I've got a running list of "21 by '21", a word of the year, and intentions. What can I say? I like frameworks, planning, and trackable achievements. The ultimate goal I expect to get me where I want to go is what I'm calling my 1.8% Promise. The 1.8% Promise is a… Continue reading 2020: Make the 1.8% Promise

Anticipation + Met Expectations = Powerful Energy

October 2, 2019October 2, 2019 Wendy Fisher

One of my best friends practices what I think of as "conscious memory making". During one of her visits to my home, she asked if we could just hang out in the living room, watch goofy TV and chat. You know how Luna Lovegood says things that are so honest it can be uncomfortable? Well,… Continue reading Anticipation + Met Expectations = Powerful Energy

#currentmood

September 26, 2019October 2, 2019 Wendy Fisher

My #currentmood is everything New England fall. Started with a giant Dunkin' pumpkin-is-back billboard, a candle sale at White Barn, and then right through the new episodes of the Great British Baking Show. A cornucopia of fall cozy pretty much exploded. Other than channeling my most #basic self, these things collectively led to increased productivity.… Continue reading #currentmood

Aggressive Simplicity

August 23, 2019August 23, 2019 Wendy Fisher

You know how sometimes at work you're asked what your super power is? Sometimes I think mine is "finding complexity". I love lists so much I could make a list of my lists. I add things to cross them off, which makes it easy to replace accomplishments with activity. Over the last week, I've even… Continue reading Aggressive Simplicity

Saying Yes… and No

June 19, 2019June 19, 2019 Wendy Fisher

You know that feeling when there are ideas swirling around your head that keep bumping up against each other, yet haven’t yet been distilled into what is essential? I’m there with thoughts about setting boundaries at work, self- and community- care and how I define both happiness and success. I need Dumbledore’s pensieve so that… Continue reading Saying Yes… and No

15 minutes happier: one day, some day

October 24, 2018October 24, 2018 Wendy Fisher

When to use: When you're feeling as if everyone else has a claim on your time. Supplies: The outdoors, a pen or pencil and paper. Instructions: Take a 10 minute walk - preferably outside. Leave your phone and music behind. The purpose for this quick walk is to be alone with your thoughts. Ask yourself: What… Continue reading 15 minutes happier: one day, some day

Wear Your Happy

September 4, 2018September 5, 2018 Wendy Fisher

My “Wear Your Happy” theory: Success starts with happiness, therefore “dressing for success” starts with wearing what makes you happier. What you wear impacts your behavior, and if you want to be happy, you have to feel happy. As we get ready to move into autumn, with tall boots and blanket scarves, let's take a… Continue reading Wear Your Happy
