‘Wear something that makes you feel silly!’ Can Austin Kleon’s tips put the spark back in my life?

Jun 08, 2026 |

By Elle Hunt

| Inkl

Often I struggle to say exactly what I’ve actually done in the preceding hours, beyond “computer”. Attempts to shake up my routine feel laboured and quickly fizzle out. These days I daydream about one day getting a dishwasher. I know it’s not depression, having been there before. Instead, it feels more like life is lacking in juice, if not joy, and that open outlook and optimistic, playful energy that came so naturally in childhood.

Rowing through the fog: how to increase your tolerance for uncertainty

May 17, 2026 |

By Elle Hunt

Simone Stolzoff describes himself as “naturally an uncertain person” inclined to rumination and self-doubt. This tendency benefits him in his work as a journalist, but can otherwise be a double-edged sword. While working for a magazine in New York, Stolzoff was approached about a job at a design firm in San Francisco. Now, he laughs at how tortured he felt “having to decide between two attractive career paths”. But, at the time, “it really sent me for an existential loop,” he says.

You could be forgiven for having lost touch with Justin Bieber.

But Biebs' monumental fame as a floppy-haired, baby-faced singer presaged a difficult coming of age in the spotlight and a string of very 2010s controversies.

Many of us desire deeper relationships. What we don’t always agree on is how close is too close. Dating advice often casts intimacy as a tightrope – pull back too much, or push for more. Either move is read as a red flag. Between discussions of incompatible attachment styles, the importance of boundaries and the dangers of love-bombing, it’s easy to get the impression there’s a correct level of closeness to aim for.
