Bad is stronger than good. Research shows that bad parents, bad feedback, and bad events impact us more than good ones. We're often driven to avoid pain and fix our weaknesses—rather than harness our strengths. Yet, dwelling on problems can worsen them, while celebrating our strengths can lead to a breakthrough.

In this episode, Daniel and Matt explore the science of strengths and argue for focusing on what works, not what’s wrong. We challenge the traditional focus on fixing weaknesses and offer practical frameworks to help you focus on your strengths, particularly when the going gets tough. Isn’t it time to make space to harness your strengths?

As humans, we often try to solve our problems by adding rather than subtracting. This unconscious bias leads us to pile on excessive projects, clutter our homes, and push our limits—consistently adding more instead of opting for less. We need a different way of thinking to make space and get unstuck.

In this episode, Matt and Daniel of The Spacemakers delve into the science of subtraction, explaining why 'less' is often the secret to moving forward. Sharing personal experiences of their own challenges, they introduce three critical strategies—bundling, trading, and eliminating—to help you make small but pivotal changes to redirect your life and get unstuck.

Life is a trade-off. You cannot be highly successful in one area of life without negatively impacting others. Similarly, feeling stuck in one domain often affects the rest because life is holistic and interconnected. By accepting the reality—that we cannot have it all—we can make creative shifts in how we use our time and prioritise our responsibilities.

Join Matt and Daniel in this episode of Spacemakers as they explore the Four Burners Theory of work-life balance and introduce The Five Capitals, a reflective framework to help you invest your time in what truly matters for your current life season.
