Putting it all into perspective

🤔 INTERESTING
If you're a recovering perfectionist, remember this: daily 1% improvement feels slow, but it's far faster than waiting for your work to be perfect before you share.
📐 DESIGN
Why it’s dangerous to measure your success through the lens of social media growth and how to look at it instead:
P.S. If you’re ready for a new beginning, enrollment for Cohort 9 (January) of Thinking in Visual Metaphors is now open.
🧠 ANALOGY
The most interesting thing about a fixed vs growth mindset is where and how it's applied.
Example: We can be growth minded about getting good at basketball, but fixed in our math ability. We each have self-belief blind spots where we see things as fixed.
The good news is self-awareness of these spots is a useful first step to getting closer to where we want to be.
🤓 WHAT I’M READING NOW
I mentioned “Big Feelings” by Liz & Mollie in this issue, so I wanted to check out their FIRST book, “No Hard Feelings.” Boy am I glad I did! It’s an incredible delight flipping through this book filled with both visual and EQ (emotional intelligence) wisdom and IN COLOR.
