What do you shy away from? Do you shy away from trying new things, socialising, public speaking, doing health checkups or exercising? And how to overcome the inertia of doing these things that you tend to shy away from ? For me, I usually practise 3 simple steps : 1️⃣ Figure out your why - identify your purpose and understand why you have to do something about it. 2️⃣ Take the first step - to avoid procrastination, do not plan it too far away and don’t think too much - just eat the frog. Start with the hardest thing and get it out of the way. As the Nike slogan goes, “just do it”. 3️⃣ Making it fun - find a friend/ community to do it together, try it in an interesting setting or gamify it. What other tips do you practise to overcome inertia? Photo: By me #habit #procrastination #inertia #personaldevelopment #jenelim
“How are you so energised and motivated every day?” I was asked by a colleague. Well, I think it’s because my Why is very clear. The work we do is actually very meaningful. When we launch new data products and services, we are actually helping companies find business, obtain funding from lenders, and get paid on time. We are also helping to power the business ecosystem by enabling trust amongst different entities using local and international data as well. As Friedrich Nietzsche says, “He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.” Hence, no matter how tough the going gets, I will find a way as my Why is clear.

This year, I’m sitting on the judging panel for the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) Global Fintech Hackcelerator in the Singapore FinTech Festival again. This year, the theme is AI in Finance and there were so many impressive entries. To do justice to the entries, I not only read the proposals, but try to “test” the prototypes as well (where available). Interestingly, as I was doing my review, there was a nearby table where some folks were having a chat and one person was gushing about how AI has really helped his business become a lot faster and more efficient. Looks like AI’s effects are already onto us, not just in finance but spreading across many other use cases as well. Have you or your company started your journey yet? Do share. #ai #artificialintelligence #mas #fintech #data #automation #jenelim
