How I Flipped The Storytelling Method

Storytelling is hard

Scientific storytelling is even harder

I mean, what does it even me??

As you can tell…its pretty new so far

Stop writing for twitter, start writing for yourself

The Week of Terror

GOD

This week was such a pain

Two back to back exams (Wednesday + Thursday)

And then a four hour lab?!

No wonder we all have bags under our eyes

But it taught me a valuable lesson…

The power of time blocking

Despite this catastrophe…

…I was still able to post on youtube and twitter for the week

While also free-writing everyday

Its all possible, you just need to fix up the schedule

Quick tip: Plan out your mornings and devote all your effort to finishing all your work in the mornings

Carl Jung’s Individuation

“Individuation is to divest the self from false wrappings” - Carl Jung

Carl Jung goes down as one of the greatest psychologist/psychiatrist

He is responsible for popularizing the term Individuation which states…

…that the goal of life is to deviate back to the self

Which in a way is what is preached by many when it comes to personal branding: authenticity

But there’s a lot more

He is also responsible for the 12 archetypes that many brands have used to hone in on their target audience.
