💭 The Peer Effect
Last week I finished a 4 week course on peer-led approaches called Huddlecraft 101. I believe that the best courses are the ones that leave with you more questions than answers (alongwith some knowledge/ tools/ community to solve them!).
Here are 3 questions that the course sparked & that I am excited to dig deeper into -
Can peers help if they are still learning themselves
How can individuals strengthen the group?
How can we facilitate peer groups we are not a part of?
Curious about how I unpacked each of these?
🥜 Learning RAM
Our ‘Learning RAM’ is limited.
Learning many new things is like having multiple tabs open on a browser - some are bound to be ignored.
💥 Coolest Thing I Learnt This Week
Learning to rest and resting to learn.
Earlier this month, I took some time off to go on a family vacation to Ooty. Ooty is known as the 'Queen of the Western Ghats' and known for its tea gardens. I spent the week marvelling at nature, being touristy, reflecting, eating and sleeping well.
I came back home this week with a renewed sense of perspective about my routine. The last few months had been a productive frenzy and the break made me realise that I need to slow down and do less. I spent the week making small changes and felt calm and grounded.
I am as guilty as anyone to fill up my whole day with to-do lists and live on my calendar. But serendipity requires a bit of spontaneity!
