Living a Life of Relevance

Why Do We Crave Relevance?

Why do we crave relevance

There are a couple of evolutionary and psychological reasons why you might crave relevance:

Social Connection: Humans are social creatures. Our ancestors relied on groups for survival and reproduction. Feeling relevant to your group meant being seen as valuable and having a role to play. This connection to others is still important to us today, and feeling irrelevant can trigger feelings of isolation or loneliness.

Self-Worth: Relevance can be tied to feeling like you matter and your contributions are valued. This can come from achievements, recognition from others, or simply feeling like your thoughts and ideas are heard. When you feel relevant, it can boost your self-esteem and sense of purpose. READ MORE

How Important is it To Be Relevant in Our Daily Lives?

Be Relevant in Our Daily Lives

Staying relevant in daily life is incredibly important. It’s like having a built-in filter system for your brain, helping you focus on what truly matters and make the most of your experiences. Here’s why it’s so crucial:

Effective Decision-Making: Imagine being flooded with every news article, social media post, or email ever written. Relevance helps you prioritize the information most relevant to the decision at hand. Whether it’s choosing an outfit based on the weather forecast or studying the right chapters for a test, relevance keeps you on track.

Improved Learning and Understanding: Our brains naturally prioritize relevant information when we learn. This allows us to filter out distractions and focus on the core concepts. Think about studying for a test – you focus on the material relevant to the exam, not random facts. READ MORE

Focus on Continuous Learning: The world is constantly evolving, and staying relevant often involves continuous learning. This could involve formal education, online courses, attending workshops, or simply reading books and articles in your area of interest. READ MORE

The 4 Elements of Physical Energy and How to Master Them

“Manage your energy, not your time.” – Tony Schwartz

This is the quote that made Tony Schwartz famous. And it is one, that I believe best represents a truly efficient lifestyle the best.

And yet, living in a way where you “manage your energy, not your time” is incredibly hard, at least for me. It probably took me around 1 year just to fully grasp its meaning. Since then, I’ve turned my life upside down and changed my routine dramatically.

As we develop tools for better social media management here at Buffer, we use an informal line to help us make better decisions. It goes something like this:

“Working more is never the answer.” READ MORE


How to Manage Your Emotional Energy For Mental Well-BeingManage Your Emotional Energy

Every human, regardless of age, location, financial status, or ethnicity, has the same amount of time in a day: 24 hours, 1440 minutes, and 86400 seconds. That sounds pretty straightforward. But why is it that some people seem to be able to do more, go on vacations, be fully engaged in all aspects of their lives, and still have more physical, mental, and emotional energy? How is it that they seem to have more time?

Meanwhile, most of us are just trying to get by. Our day doesn’t start without a cup of coffee (or two) just to wake up and conjure up the energy to get through the morning. In our busyness, we choose quick and fast foods so that we can get onto our next meeting, activity, or task. READ MORE


The Making Of Mental EnergyMaking Of Mental Energy

It’s hard to define and harder to measure, but mental energy is something everyone wants more of.

It’s only 2 percent of your body weight, but your brain consumes 20 to 25 percent of your metabolic energy. And that’s just on idle, the energy cost to keep your 86 billion neurons and give-or-take 164 trillion synapses on stand-by.

Once the brain is activated, energy demands quickly multiply. Paying attention is an energy-guzzler requiring mental effort and the application of self-control. Decision-making, empathy, and even meditation consume mental resources. Taking in information and processing it, conducting a quick inventory check against memory, maintaining focus and interest, to say nothing of suppressing distraction—whew, it’s exhausting just thinking about it.
