Having checked your calendar, you know it’s summer break. This means kids are out of school, days are longer, and it’s chaos everywhere. For working parents, sunny afternoons often collide with the harsh reality of juggling work calls, summer camps, snack requests, and sibling squabbles — usually all before 10:00 am. In fact, according to […]
In terms of productivity, summer presents a paradox. On the one hand, the longer days and relaxed atmosphere make it tempting to unplug. Then again, many of us still have major goals we want to achieve by year’s end, such as creative projects and strategic planning. The question is, how do you make meaningful progress […]
Your company’s holidays are likely based on widely celebrated holidays. You know, the usual suspects, such as Thanksgiving, Independence Day, Christmas, and Labor Day. As the calendar indicates, these days off throughout the year follow a predictable rhythm. The problem? They do not reflect everyone’s values, beliefs, or personal lives. That’s where floating holidays come […]
We all have them: those elusive habits we swear we’ll adopt, our ambitious goals, and our unwavering consistency. Maybe it’s waking up with the sun, working out every morning, or finishing that big project ahead of time. Often, however, the reality is quite different. Instead of focused progress, we become distracted by endless YouTube rabbit […]

Professional Wellness Month is a timely reminder as June rolls around: your well-being doesn’t end after clocking out. In fact, for long-term success and happiness in the workplace, it is crucial to nurture your mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Let’s be honest, though. There are still many workplaces where the grind culture is alive and […]
