Hello friends!
This week was full of nostalgia for me. I reread a few books and watched dramas that I’ve seen before. It felt nice to relive those emotions.
Here’s my reading highlight:
Originals by Adam Grant
5 stars
It is rewarding to know that there isn’t anything wrong with being a non-conformist and that, in fact, there are benefits.
Here’s (some brief tips on) how we can all embrace being non-conformists and develop original ideas
- Question the default
- Triple the number of ideas you generate
- Immerse yourself in another domain
- Procrastinate strategically
- Seek more feedback from peers
- Balance your risk portfolio
- Highlight the reasons not to support your idea
- Make your ideas more familiar
- Speak to a different audience
- Be a tempered radical
- Motivate yourself differently when you are committed vs concerned
- Don’t try to calm down
- Focus on the victim, not the perpetrator
- Realise you are not alone
- Remember, if you don’t take action, the status quo will persist
Cheers!
