And if folks want to learn more or get in touch, where would you point them? They
Speaker 1
can go to the reset mindset.net or pennys keynote.com. And of course all the regular social channels, they can just look me up by name, Penny's anchor. All
Speaker 2
right. And you have a final challenge or call to action for folks looking to be awesome at their jobs. I
Speaker 1
think the final thing that I'd like to bring is one of the principles that I talk about in the reset mindset, and that's assume positive intent. Something my mom taught me when I was a teenager. And I would say that I think because relationships are one of the key things that makes us happy in our workplace and it makes us better leaders. So I would say that really with every interaction, just assume positive intent and really look for the bigger picture of looking for what you're trying to serve.
Speaker 2
All right. Penny, thank you. I wish you much fun and focus.
Speaker 1
Thank you so much for having me.

I really love Penny's perspective about stress being cumulative. And if we take these short reset moments to bust that stress, things can be fantastic. And it's fun. I just recently got this amazing app from my phone. It's called Do. I'm not a sponsor or anything, but maybe they should be. Do, D-U And I am so hardcore about eliminating notifications from my phone. I actually wanted to find something to put them in. And do is so cool because I can make it auto snooze and repeat again and again, and then show up as a critical alert to puncture my do not disturb shielded barriers that I've got going on inside my phone. So I am prompted just about every hour, with a couple exceptions, at 57 minutes after the hour to pause and breathe. And that is just so handy. I've got that going for me. It's a very subtle vibration and short beep. You have many options to choose from. And that's been handy to stop the cumulative accumulation of stress. We go, oh yeah, we're going to breathe here. And that's been super handy. I'm sure it's not the only game in town, but whatever system you can use to have regular prompts to ensure that the accumulation of stress is not left to run amok, but rather regularly interrupted and de-stressed, it's been super helpful.
