Tuesdays

Tuesdays are becoming one of my favorite days.

I get to spend 3 hours throwing pottery and then 2 hours learning Ikebana

No cell phone, no disruptions, just fun!

The interesting part for me has been how my head gets clear and I feel better, more energized.

There I don’t have conflicting thoughts, no distractions, no gossip. Very different than my corporate life.

I’ve been reading the book STFU - The Power of Keeping Your Mouth Shut (in an endlessly noisy world) and Dan Lyons (the author) talks about the power of silence and its benefits - including to your health.

I am always curiosos to hear how companies are changing their culture to adapt to remote working, work-life balance and to welcome more creativity and innovation.

What can happen if companies offer creative spaces with an option to a cone of silence (If you have ever seen Maxwell Smart TV series)?

Meanwhile, I better get ready for my Ikebana.
