How do you get out of your comfort zone?

  • I believe ensuring mind and soul readiness is key. Sometimes, it’s important to reframe my mindset. For example, I am tasked to set up an Escape Room activity as part of an end-of-year programme for my students. I can see it as a chore or I can embrace it as an opportunity to explore AI apps. You can’t learn new things if you are not psychologically prepared to absorb novelty.
  • Taking on the unknown can be daunting, so that’s why people procrastinate despite their best intentions. For me, it helps to put it down on my to-do list. Having something written in black and white spurs me on to just do it so that I can cross it off the list. It’s also helpful to break down an intimidating task into small, manageable bits. That way, I focus my mind on one task at a time.
  • I believe that greatness can only be achieved when you focus and prioritise on one thing. However, being ENFP, I have a fleeting interest in many things and find it hard just to focus on one. That said, I typically choose to pursue 2-3 goals at any one time. For example, the things on my radar now are learning how to teach students with dyslexia better and honing my expertise in ChatGPT and other AI tools. So, I alternate between these two goals, depending on the tasks that more urgently need my attention as well as my mood lol. To this end, I think having self-awareness is important. I have long decided that I rather be good enough at many things than be an expert at just one area. My values guide my actions accordingly.

My two sats’ worth!
