How I Learned to Stop Being Judgmental and Just Be Grateful

ByJohn Hawkins February 17, 2020February 17, 2020

After a couple of decades of working with clients, I’ve learned a lot about how I like to work with them. For example, I know that I like to have a video kickoff call where I can ask questions and read facial expressions as we discuss the project. It helps me to gauge their interest…

Habits: can’t stop, won’t stop

ByJohn Hawkins May 19, 2019May 19, 2019

Back in March, I wrote about Building Better Habits. I had just started a new daily plan to incorporate some good habits into my life and maybe get rid of some bad ones. My concern being that this plan would fizzle out and I’d be back to my old ways before I knew it. Then,…

A story not exactly about speed reading

ByJohn Hawkins April 12, 2019April 13, 2019

It has only been over the past couple years that I’ve realized that I’ve probably been battling depression my entire life. The wider my eyes are to this fact is giving me some new and interesting perspective on situations that come up. Depression, as you may know, likes to ebb and flow. I have gone…

A month of tiny habits

ByJohn Hawkins April 7, 2019April 7, 2019

Last month I wrote about building better habits. At the time, I had just started working on a series of daily activities that I wanted to turn into habits. When I first started, I put a few daily habits in place and figured I would just see how things went. It’s now been just about…

Building better habits

ByJohn Hawkins March 17, 2019March 17, 2019

I am a creature of habit. When I get onto a certain kick, it’s hard to get off it. For example, breakfast. I’ve had a bowl of oatmeal with coconut flakes and granola almost every day for breakfast for the past several years. For me it ticks all the boxes I’m looking for in a…

Reframing Conversations

ByJohn Hawkins July 15, 2018July 16, 2018

A while back, a friend wrote a great post about how she’s no longer going to say sorry. OK, before you think that sounds like a jerk move, she’ll still apologize for those times when she’s an asshole, accidentally thoughtless, or breaks a commitment. But, she’s not going to say sorry for things she’s just…

Feels good feeling good: a story of patience

ByJohn Hawkins February 26, 2017February 26, 2017

You may not know this about me (I kid), but I love CrossFit. It has been a major part of my life the past couple 2 and a half years. There is no mood I can be in that a CrossFit workout doesn’t make better. I’ve had gym memberships before, but nothing beats the coaching,…

My 3 Words for 2017

ByJohn Hawkins January 1, 2017

Each year, for the past several years, Chris Brogan has been posting his “3 words” for the coming year on January first. It’s a bit different than making New Year’s resolutions. Instead, it’s more like setting the tone for yourself in order to make the year a successful one. I highly suggest you check out…
