In this episode of The Present Professional, John and Tony discuss the challenges of adjusting to new life stages and transitions, particularly when it comes to changes in productivity and personal engagement. They explore the importance of shifting mindset to focus on what's going right during times of change, rather than dwelling on what might not be going as planned. Join them as they share insights on navigating transitions in both personal and professional life.

John shares his experience of becoming a new father and how it has shifted his perception of productivity and time management. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing small victories and staying grounded in one's core values during times of change. Tony echoes these sentiments, discussing his journey through marriage and fatherhood while maintaining his personal identity and values.

They explore the concept of being present and appreciating the positives amid life's upheavals. They discuss practical strategies for managing attention and time, such as setting boundaries and practicing mindfulness. Both Jonh and Tony highlight the importance of self-awareness and the power of looking at situations objectively to make informed decisions.

To help listeners implement these insights, John introduces the "Three Good Things" exercise from positive psychology. This simple practice involves noting three positive events each day and reflecting on why they happened, fostering a habit of recognizing and appreciating the good in life.
