Budget Tip

Let your online shopping cart sit overnight. Unless it’s for a necessity and inventory is low, consider waiting at least 24 hours before hitting that buy button. This may be particularly useful for unplanned purchases. After a full day, you’ll know whether you’re buying on impulse or for a legitimate need. Not only that, but since so-called “shopping cart abandonment” is the bane of retailers, they will occasionally try to lure shoppers back with pop-up screens offering discounts, free next-day delivery or more favorable return policies.

Wisdom

Ultimately, wisdom is needed to determine how, when, and where to draw boundaries, ask for what we need, improve our relationship interactions or perhaps even to end unhealthy partnerships. But wisdom can’t emerge without the inner strength, warmth, and stability offered by fierce and tender self-compassion.

My Father’s Many Lessons

It was a Wednesday night around dinnertime when the phone rang. It was my father, Leo. Without any prelude, he said, “I am sorry for anything I might have done.” I said, “It’s OK.” Then we talked about the weather, what I was making for dinner. Then we said goodbye. We never spoke about this conversation again. I don’t know what prompted his call, but I do know this: My father taught me how to drive without a license, to smoke cigarettes and to ignore my mother. But by God, that night, he also taught me about forgiveness. — Helene Rosenthal

Creativty

What do creatives bring to a leadership role that noncreative don’t? To be a creative person doesn’t mean you have to have gone to art school. It’s a mindset. It’s about looking at things and having the audacity to think beyond the next quarter. Creative people jump ahead of things, and we also are very good at reducing things back to their simplicity. I always said that if ever I had a superpower, it’s that I can dumb down anything, because there’s so much complexity in the world now.
