A WorkLife Lesson: Aisling’s Story: Making Time For the Simple Things
Aisling had locked herself away from the world - she had to, she had a book to finish and a deadline to finish writing it.
Staring at the empty page on her screen, she just couldn’t find the story idea she needed for the chapter on Happiness. You see, as a writer and a WorkLife learning practitioner, Aisling creates resources to help people manage their own learning and their wellbeing - stories, case studies, lessons, books, e-learning programmes, tips, techniques and tactics.
She writes stories based on real-life situations of people’s struggles and successes in their WorkLife. She shares the exercises that helped them navigate through these situations, which she presents as assignments for people to adopt and adapt to their situation.
But today, Aisling was stuck. The idea she needed to tell a story about a struggle with happiness just wasn’t coming to her. And without the idea, the words she needed to fill the page weren’t about to flow anytime soon.
And so, Aisling continued to stare at the blank screen of her laptop.
