I like my Apple Watch, but I use it almost exclusively for fitness (workouts, trail running, etc). I decided early on to remove all the other things -- apps, notifications, etc. I get Messages, but that's about it. I like the balance,

Sometimes agile is the right way to exert control back against management, if management is prone to chaos and disorder. I took an organization that couldn't put out two releases a year to one that put out once a month, and the owner&#
