Finding it hard to take breaks when freelancing? Try a Holiday Policy.
When you're self-employed, taking time off can be an unusual experience - on the one hand, you've effectively got 'unlimited' time off, being able to take a break whenever you wish, however on the other - none of that time is paid and when you can take that time off is often driven by others: when projects are finishing, when clients are away, when school holidays happen.
Matthew KnightPublished 2 years ago in PsycheWhy mental health at work matters even more when you're freelancing
It won’t have escaped you that mental health at work has become an increasingly important topic in recent years - with employers doing much more to look after their employees’ emotional wellbeing. Indeed, it is much needed - over 70% of sick days off are caused by work-related stress.
Matthew KnightPublished 2 years ago in Psyche3 Ways To Learn Anything Fast
I’m going to share 3 techniques that will help you learn anything fast. 3 Ways To Learn Anything Fast 1. Start with the basics. Make sure you understand the basic concepts before moving on to more difficult material. 2. Repeat and practice what you have learned. Repetition will help embed the material in your memory so that you can recall it more easily. 3. Organize information using mnemonic devices. Groups of related information are easier to remember when they are organized in an easily remembered manner. 4. Try different methods of learning. Some students prefer visual aids while others prefer hands-on learning. Experiment until you find a learning method that works best for you. 5. Take practice quizzes. In addition to practicing, testing yourself on material will also help you learn and remember the information better. • Learning Styles There are many different ways to learn anything fast. However, not all learning styles work for everyone. It is important to find a learning style that works best for you. One way to learn anything fast is by using your visual learning style. Visual learners tend to learn best by seeing things. They may prefer to read texts or watch videos in order to learn new information. Another way to learn anything fast is by using your auditory learning style. Auditory learners tend to learn best by hearing things. They may prefer to listen to audio recordings or lectures in order to learn new information. If you are not sure what your learning style is, there are many online quizzes that can help you figure it out. Once you know your learning style, you can start looking for resources that match your preferred method of learning. This will help you learn anything fast and effectively.

We had the oddest interaction with a would-be filmmaker the other night. This “former addict” who claims to be six years clean, was, I am told, decidedly not clean when he approached a certain publicist just three years ago and told us on THIS call he’d just “had a Xanax” so he’s calm, anxiety in check. Um. That’s the drug he’s claiming to be clean from.

"Who is an Introvert?" Introvert is basically a psychological term. This term was first introduced by "Carl Jung", a famous 20th-century psychologist. As we all know "Psychology" is the study of human behavior, the human mind, and its functions. An Introvert is a kind of shy person; someone who enjoys spending time alone and has a reserved kind of nature. The contrary word of "Introvert" is "Extrovert"; someone who enjoys being surrounded by a group of people, someone who is much more social than an introvert.

Somethings you should just never ask someone!
”Did you slit your throat” he asked. “Hmm… pardon” I replied, appalled at what i thought I had just heard, hoping desperately that id heard wrong, and the man I was about the hand over a packet of cigarettes to on a Wednesday afternoon at my supermarket job, had not just essentially asked me in public if I had tried to take my own life. Surely no one would ever assume that such a question was fine to ask someone. But no such luck there, because he then replied quite nonchalantly, and as I was now giving him my full attention I heard this quite clearly…
