The Power of 3 can also be an effective tool for us to break down our experiences and habits. Think about what we want to let go of, change, and identify what we want to bring forward with us.

With the new year upon us, now is an opportune time to reflect, recalibrate and refocus in order to move forward with clarity and intention. There are many reflective and goal setting exercises in the personal growth and professional development space, though one practice we have found particularly useful over the years is the creation of a vision board.

Positive habit building is challenging (why else would there be over 609 Results for ''habits"' in Booktopia’s Self-Help & Personal Development!) but there is one way to make more effective, impactful and wide-reaching behavioural changes: keystone habits.

Built in conjunction with executive coaches who recognise the need for growth and investment in all aspects of life, myhaventime is made for diverse learning and development. As an illustration this article explores myhaventime’s key tools and how they can be used in both personal and professional contexts. 

We live in the age of information. With an endless supply of data available to us anywhere, anytime, we are all empowered to become lifelong learners and accrue deep knowledge in an area of interest. And yet, with this abundance of information only a click away, we often find ourselves preoccupied or not taking advantage of the information at hand. We mindlessly scroll. We inadvertently consume advertising. We read and watch content without discern or critical thinking. Why? Because there’s just so much content to wade through...

Knowledge and IQ are key currencies in our modern academic and professional contexts. Does this mean knowledge and intelligence is more productive and regarded than curiosity?

Our minds should be illuminated with all of these resources and information.So why are so many of us struggling to overcome challenges or innovate? 

When we shift our mindset from loneliness to being alone, and find empowerment in our own company we no longer need this fabricated connection or external validation. 

Every decision is, ultimately, an investment (or detraction) from our future growth. Now is the time to invest in ourselves, for small improvements made today, tomorrow and the next day will amount to momentous change and growth. 

How can we embrace a growth mindset to prioritise our lifelong learning both for personal growth and professional success? 

As our team continues to use the myhaventime platform both for work and personal projects, we wanted to share our own experiences using myhaventime to live more mindfully, create without boundaries, and focus for learning and performance.

Opportunities for education are more attainable and populous, but does that mean we are learning more than ever?

Investment in our professional growth is critical for career development, but at what cost? Is it really important to diversify our learning, enrich our minds and accrue knowledge on topics that don’t pertain to work?

Pronoia is "the suspicion the Universe is a conspiracy on your behalf". It is an enduring optimism and trust that life will provide. Think of it like the antithesis of Murphy’s Law: in a state of pronoia, one believes that anything that can go right will go right, and this is because of an underlying belief that the universe and those within it are leading you in the right direction. 

We experience beautiful, remarkable shifts at every life stage, and yet most of us insist on living with auto-pilot on. As Socrates stated "the unexamined life is not worth living”, and as such it’s important to reflect upon our existence and life stages regularly. Otherwise we will wake up some decades on, realising life and its innumerable opportunities have passed us by. 

One of the silver linings of working from home is the advent of spare time. ‍The question is: what do we do with this newfound time?

Some people know their purpose, others find their purpose consciously, some find their purpose when they are not looking and others live a life without purpose and meaning. We combed through a myriad of resources to understand the role of purpose in our professional and personal lives, and how we can discover our purpose when at times it can feel elusive. 

The 70:20:10 model is a strategic learning framework that has been increasingly adopted by organisations as an alternative approach to structured learning. As you will find in this article, the model can also be applied to bolster self-directed learning to enrich personal growth and development.

In this article we’re introducing Samara, a successful marketing consultant who struggles to make time for personal development and interests amidst the demands of work. Explore how Samara uses myhaventime in both professional and personal contexts to achieve efficiencies in workflow, streamline her client communications and make space for personal pursuits. You might discover how myhaventime could help you too, to enrich your own professional and personal development. 

Lockdown allowed time to develop greater self-awareness, tolerance and empathy. Surely you learnt things about yourself also? So how can we grow from these insights and put them to use in our personal and professional lives as life returns to normal? How can we continue the cycle of experience, learning and growth? 

Whether you are a teacher or a professional within another industry, discover how you can use myhaventime to store your best insights, whilst making efficiencies at work to create time and space for personal development and interests. This article explores how one teacher, Ben, uses myhaventime to store and organise the invaluable tacit knowledge amassed on the job, for collaboration with colleagues, to streamline his workflow, and to prioritise his own interests and passions outside of work. 

We follow year twelve student, Siena, to explore how she uses myhaventime for knowledge management and storage of her inspiration, ideas and information. Prior to myhaventime Siena would jot notes or save files wherever was convenient between her multiple devices and platforms. Now she uses myhaventime as a centralised location to store key knowledge and learnings from school, collate information for projects, and store inspiration for her upcoming creative endeavours.

We explore the benefits and challenges of team work and how myhaventime’s team rooms can be used in professional and educational contexts to overcome the most regularly faced challenges of collaboration in order to produce more valuable, innovative and considered outcomes. 

myhaventime is a mindful, uninterrupted multimedia platform to support knowledge management and deep thinking — a secure space to store and expand upon data, insights and knowledge over time. A space that allows for real critical thinking to occur. To illustrate how myhaventime can be used to support the critical thinking and problem solving required for our modern day challenges, we’re exploring the allied health practice of naturopathy as an example. 

In our distracted world it’s no easy feat, but conscious steps must be taken to create a physical and digital environment away from the white noise of the world so we can learn, create, think and ideate in order to produce insights and work of real value.

We all know the Silicon Valley stereotypes: young innovators, venture capitalists, hybrid vehicles, on-campus cafeterias and open plan spaces with ping pong tables... But beneath the stereotypes we’d like to understand the decision making, collaboration and learning that drives big tech and in turn profoundly affects the behaviours of humankind. 

A professorship is an illustrious role, though few understand the multifaceted or demanding nature of the position. In this article we follow Caleb, an Australian university professor with personal interests in audio engineering. We explore how Caleb uses myhaventime in professional and personal contexts to support his peers and students; collaborate with colleagues; and invest time in his pursuit of lifelong learning.

Is social media, however problematic, simply an avoidable part of modern life? How did it become this way? Is there a better way?

As suffering and challenge will be experienced by all of us at some point in life, tools like Goggins’ cookie jar concept allow us all to tap into reserves of inner-strength and resilience in times of adversity. Members of our own myhaventime team have experienced and grown from challenges. To illustrate the power of reflecting upon, learning and growing from experiences, they share below their stories, how they overcame adversity and what they have learnt in the process.
