Countering the ticking clock

Oh, hi friends!

The clock will tick today.

You’ll be alright.

Keep going.

You can beat it.

Point your eyeballs somewhere good today.

"It’s time to be honest about who you are and how you want to be known."

How do people view you at work? Are you constantly asked to do things that you don't want to do—and don’t highlight your strengths? I feel like I have this conversation a lot with friends…turns out there are biases at play here! First impressions matter! But you can change them.

I edited this story over at MONEY about changing how people treat you are work and I think the advice is very valuable. Because life’s too short to let other people tell the wrong story about you over and over again.

Need a good laugh? Try listening to “To Keep My Love Alive" from the musical A Connecticut Yankee (music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Lorenz Hart). This version by Ella Fitzgerald slays me. What’s a more inspiring rhyme than “he looked a wreck to me/ a horse’s neck to me/ appendectomy”???

I've been married, and married, and often I've sighed
"I'm never a bridesmaid, I'm always a bride”

I never divorced them, I hadn't the heart
Yet remember these sweet words, "'till death do us part”

I married many men, a ton of them
Because I was untrue to none of them
Because I bumped off every one of them
To keep my love alive

Sir Paul was frail, he looked a wreck to me
At night he was a horse's neck to me
So I performed an appendectomy
To keep my love alive

Sir Thomas had insomnia, he couldn't sleep at night
I bought a little arsenic, he's sleeping now all right

Sir Philip played the harp, I cussed the thing
I crowned him with his harp to bust the thing
And now he plays where harps are just the thing
To keep my love alive
To keep my love alive
