#1 Towards a brighter 2021

Pantone picks two 'Colours of the Year' for 2021 and it's about a brighter future

When life gives you lemons, you make them a color of the year? Yes, bring on the positive vibes but I am hoping in addition, that nations, people in power and us individuals, have learnt a great deal from 2020 and play our part to make 2021 better.

#2 New York Time’s Year in Pictures 2020

A Year Like No Other: 2020 in Pictures

A picture paints a thousand words. We will let them do the talking here.

#3 Selective Ignorance

Selective ignorance: cultivating intentional knowledge in a chaotic world

In an increasingly noisy world this certainly helps. Growing intentional knowledge by being selective in your intake of ‘garbage’ daily.

• In James Clear’s own words: “Ignore topics that drain your attention. Unfollow people that drain your energy. Abandon projects that drain your time. Do not keep up with it all. The more selectively ignorant you become, the more broadly knowledgeable you can be.”

Couldn’t have said it better.

‘Bad blood’ is one my favorite reads of 2020 and it’s also a book that makes my blood boil. Erika Cheung was 1 of the whistleblowers of the Theranos scandal (shoutout to Tyler too) and here she shares her experience coming out.

I recommend checking out the book if you haven’t already. You can find my sharing on it here.

And that’s a wrap! (I will still be posting next week)
