We all know the feeling of getting caught up in the busi-ness of life rather than the business of life and poof, the week has vanished. This week Pete looks at the phrase - inspiration is free and application costs us, the concept of the infinity loop - balancing inner fulfi...

This week has been all about Thursday. Yep, Thursday. Let me explain... Show Notes: Episode #12

In comparison to last week, which was a nothing week, this week was an everything week. Pete took the time to sit with his feelings and thoughts from the previous week and has followed up with a more balanced and productive week. He took the time to be self-indulgent and relished the positive impacts that had on his mindset. Pete also reflects on showing up as your best possible self in all aspect...

This week, for the first time, has been a nothing week, literally nothing! So what does my nothing week tell me? It reinforces the ebb and flow of life. Sometimes you're really on and you're having a smashing week. And then, suddenly, the opposite happens. I'll reflect on my nervousness around committing to something new on Fridays and I'll leave you with something to ponder - is what you're doing...

The podcast is no longer about having Fridays off but more about the move from "I have to", to the freedom...

Pete reflects on his observations of the mind games he plays with himself and shares four main insights that he’s learned this past week. Show Notes: Episode #3

Pete Clark explores adding life to his years by taking Fridays off from work.  Whilst Pete didn’t do as well as he had intended this week – only rating himself just above a pass – Pete lets you know what he achieved and the thoughts and inner-commentary that kept him from publishing his first podcast. Big changes don’t come easy.  Pete is hoping that what he learns will help others make...

I believe that time is our most precious and finite commodity. If the past year has taught us anything, it has emphasised this and the importance of time with family and friends. I'm also aware of Parkinson's Law which is the premise that work expands to the time that we give it.
