With the market volatility, you’re going to hear a lot about the VIX in the coming days…

Here’s a quick breakdown of what it is and why it matters:

The Volatility Index ("VIX") was created by the Chicago Board Options Exchange as a real-time market index representing the market's expectation of 30-day forward-looking volatility.

It is often referred to as the "Fear Index" by investors.

Let's take a look at how it works…

Volatility measures the magnitude of price movements—up and down—over a set period of time.

Historical volatility is based on actual historical price movements.

Forward-looking volatility—“implied volatility"—is inferred based on option prices.

Next time you get stuck...

Try this:

When you're working on a project—big or small—it's inevitable that you'll find yourself stuck from time to time.

You’re staring at a half-completed page or screen—completely paralyzed.

We've all been there.

Here's my very simple framework for getting unstuck:

Identify the Sticking Point

Segment the project or workstream into its smaller component parts.

Mark whatever has been completed and leave the remaining as open.

The separating line is the sticking point.

It sounds simple, but visualizing the sticking point is very helpful.

I have a new Sunday ritual: 1 hour walk with nothing but a small pocket notebook and pen.

No phone
No music
No podcasts
No articles
No audiobooks

I let my mind run free and write down any ideas or insights.

A simple way to prime the mind for a creative, productive week ahead.

Importantly, I don’t have any “goals” for the walk.

I don’t set any intentions or topics to think about.

It’s sort of like an active meditation.

I find that the fresh air and physical separation from technology opens up my mind to more non-linear thinking.

Sometimes I come back with absolutely nothing written down in the notebook—but I always come back with a clear head to show for it.

Memento Mori—the powerful daily reminder we all need:

Memento Mori is a Latin phrase that translates to "remember that you must die."

A favorite of Stoic philosophy, it’s a reminder of the inescapability of death.

It’s not intended to be morbid—rather to clarify, illuminate, and inspire.

A reminder of the precious nature of time.

The general idea of recognizing your mortality has been around for millennia.

The phrase itself is believed to have originated in the Roman Empire.

After military victories, the heroes were paraded through the streets on chariots.

They may have felt like Gods...
