When you have more than one insurance you can compare their behavior when something goes wrong.

I’m not saying a comparison on how they work on topics of the insurance but how does it work, for example, to cancel the insurance itself.

Chances are, one will have friction. One will make it difficult, harder, etc.
Having less friction is almost always a value. It allows people to make choice freely. So, even if your business doesn’t benefit from it, it makes people happy.

Friction, on the other hand, makes people anxious because they feel caged. Friction removes possibilities and blocks people from moving on.

Aiming for frictionless processes should be our gold standard.

It is often the case that death teaches kindness. It reminds us how fragile our life is, our weak the net of people is and how it can break easily.

It’s a powerful reminder that what we have is temporary. Today we know it’s there, but what about tomorrow?

With this knowledge we review our world, the world around us, our dreams and we come to the conclusion that maybe being angry, aggressive and so on is not something worthy of our time.

Yet we forget. We forget how much kindness can empower our surroundings. After a while all these lessons fade in the memory, replaced by our old reasoning. Our ego takes the lead again and we go back to what we were doing.

How much powerful should be our loss to make such change permanent?
Looking closely these changes are similar to our new years resolutions. They don’t stick, they are a beautiful intention, but rarely a beautiful conquering because after a while we go back a restore our old behavior.

It’s hard. It’s complex. Keeping up with kindness in a world without too much of it is extremely hard.
Yet it’s worth it.

What if, instead of being a yes-man or a no-man, you’ll simply evaluate the possibility of doing something.

To see if there’s a real space to conquer, to see if there’s a real option on the table?

What if, instead of blinding accepting or refusing an idea you evaluate it with an open mind, asking questions over questions to understand how it fits your plan, what are the pros and the downsides?

What if everything was possible and the hard thing is to make things match based on requirements, price and time?
Be a possible-man, explore the infinite world of possibilities.

As we all know, we’re under a pandemic.
And, as you might also know, italy changed his government during 2021.

This, aside from being a little depressing (who would want to see such change in such difficult times), poses an interesting question I ask myself even more often.

Right now the person in charge to manage the vaccination of the population is from the military, while before he was not.
Every time he’s dressed in a military uniform, and there’s something calming about that dress.

A dress expresses part of your goal, it’s a precursor of body language, after all if you go to a meeting with an horrible dress, they’ll think about it. How you dress is a choice.

How you dress convey a message of interest for other people. It signals your intents.
So, what’s calming? I honestly dunno. It’s a reaction I don’t control and to be honest I’m against the military usage for war, to make a point, but at the same time I suppose that having someone showing off interest for the population (military uniform) instead of himself (a normal suit), might make a difference.

It might be only a choice to show off, but it works.

One of the easiest way to have a new habit stick is to chain it with something else in a time you _know_ you can get some extra space for it.

If you don’t chain then you’ll need extra support to remember to do the thing, but if you do chain it you’ll increase the chances of you sticking to the habit and improving over time.

It’s as simple as “ do something after I wake up “.
To me morning is the perfect time when I can do something without interruptions, it started with reading, now it’s reading+writing in some days, and workout in others.

Scheduling and chaining is an effective way to have habits formed and it’s quite easy to manage once you have a time slot you can protect.
