From the April 24, 2019 issue of Further When I was in my early 40s, I hiked the 17 miles of the Grand Canyon’s South Rim in and out in a day. It was grueling and exhilarating. But the best part wasn’t the climb itself; it was finally giving myself a good reason to ratchet …
From the April 17, 2019 issue of FurtherWe each have our own way to organize the day. Lists tend to top the, well … list, but they’re not necessarily the most productive use of your time. That’s true whether they’re comprised of to-do’s, won’t do’s, or accomplishment-celebrating ta-das. Organizing your daily workload by tasks can …
From the April 10, 2019 issue of Further “Working relationship” is the ultimate oxymoron when you’re dealing with a micromanager. Or a victim, slacker, or critic for that matter. And it does matter, because going to work with a pit in your stomach is the worst … and nowadays we count on our jobs to …
From the March 27, 2019 issue of Further Nobody in their right mind in Los Angeles would consider doing this: I started commuting to work — even though I’m a freelancer. I’ll concede that “right mind” combined with “Los Angeles” may be an oxymoron to some. But that’s not the point. Like more than over …
From the March 20, 2019 issue of Further Nowadays, work is not necessarily a place you go so much as it is something you do — hopefully with passion and purpose. The rise of remote work is real, with over 60% of U.S. jobs done at least partially from afar. So much for the myth …
From the March 13, 2019 issue of Further Fear of missing out — or FOMO — is a fascinating thing. Especially when you consider that it’s largely sparked by the digital device you carry around with you. FOMO was coined by internet entrepreneur Caterina Fake back in 2011. That was (not coincidentally) about a year …
From the February 27, 2019 issue of Further As a kid, I was confronted by mom’s favorite George Bernard Shaw quote every time I opened the refrigerator: We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing. It’s true that without imagination, wonder, and risk-taking, things get old, fast. Embracing …
From the February 20, 2019 issue of Further Today, yesterday is everywhere. Insta-nostalgia — like the #2009vs2019 challenge or a Facebook quiz to find out what 90s’ indie band you are — is hellbent on planting the past in your present. Frankly, I don’t love having my memories repackaged as click bait. Then again, being …
From the February 13, 2019 issue of Further The first time I had an anxiety attack, I was 22 and thought I had the flu. It seemed to come at me from out of nowhere. When the dizziness and disorientation dragged on, my doctor diagnosed me over the phone. Turns out it was a garden …
From the January 30, 2019 issue of Further What if I told you it might help if you were a little less married. That perhaps you need some space to explore your own needs. To be clear, I’m not talking about an open marriage or “consensual non-monogamy” — what sex columnist Dan Savage calls being …
From the January 23, 2019 issue of Further At a recent personal development workshop, I sat next to a mild-mannered 40-something guy.
