I solve this with 2 150w led corn lamps in my office!

Yep. Either it’s actually that bad or it’s just purposefully hampered. Same end user experience either way.

Exactly - me too. But infuriating when I try.

Ticket closing and KPI chasing is alive and well in small companies too. I have a client (less than 100 folks) that has a JIRA reporting process on par (and as bad as) as F500 company. Seems to geared towards tracking work and increasing ac

Your friends on the strategy side are the folks those clients think parachute in, drop a deck and convince execs to do things, and the disappear. Not necessarily worse, but the stereotype fits! You are, at least, soon doing tangible things.

Instagram - major offender.

Fascinating, thank you. For what it's worth, I think recognizing patterns and then stepping away to say "execute this way, or choose another way" is a huge huge skill. Not all past patterns make sense for current/future

With you 100% Kids rewired my brain too. Definitely not a perfect operator at all times, but I have - as you stated - a clear intention on how I'm spending my day. Contrast to 20s and even some of 30s - definitely pre-kids but also pre

I like that. Appreciate your words and likewise. Great way to put it: "skill" Learned/experience/must practice the skill of getting comfortable! Tell me more about retreat? In overall terms? Worth it? Worth doing again?

The work never ends, friend. Try this. Think hard about what you think "it" is. Is it CEO? Making $1M a year? Making $5M a year? Healthy family? Etc. I think what you realize in the brainstorm is you have some of "it" al

Smart take. Parenting used to be more communal in some ways. Now it's up to two (maybe) working parents to deal with kids. 43-yr-old parent of 2. I love them. They're amazing. But there are so many challenging moments. So many. In

>At around the age of 32 the strongest overall shift in trajectory is seen. Life events such as parenthood may play a role in some of the changes seen, although the research did not explicitly test this. “We know that women who give birt

Do you use it? Curious for your thoughts. Right now I have CoPilot. Apps are ok, not great. https://copilot.money/

This makes the bigger difference imo. Long enough time in front of autoplay sends a kid down some very strange rabbit holes. Not acceptable to me. Less worried about the format and more the endless doom watching that the algorithm is happy

Building/running a solo consulting business. And yes, for sure. Often feel the same. And then someone will ask: what's the end game?!

I enjoyed Outlive. Rather technical (for me) but made sense.

My first thought after reading: where does a guy like Peter Attia fit into the mix? Is he motivated and communicating in legitimate ways? Just a promotion machine at this point? Somewhere in between? I love the idea of knowing biomarkers bu

Your reply reminds me of a work situation at a prior start up. CEO seen as brilliant. On the tail in your words. I was talking to head of sales about the CEO and his statement was this: these types of people are the easiest to manipulate. N

Sterling sounded very sure of his strategy and very dismissive of commentary otherwise. Good interview during which you hear what he/Mary think about as analogies to in-car experience. Did not sound to me like they had coherent thinkin

With you. I spent my 20s and most of 30s career focused. Now 43 with two kids and in a spot where I can pick what I want to some degree. I can’t imagine the life I have now during my 20s. Maybe it would have been great. But I’m glad life w

Instagram works just a bit better but roughly the same. And that helps keep me off.

I don’t care much for social features but they were more compelling when I first used the app and the user base was smaller. The user base now is using Strava as the standard platform for data. Someone else pointed this out too. It is the p

What a great comment. Your way of thinking is how I like to handle my direct hires. And people on a project that may not be my direct hires. Recognize that there are different ways to get things done. Not everything needs to please my speci

I read the article and said “so, what was that about?” Felt more like a journal entry. Anecdote: try everything but the drugs if you can. What helps me: regular exercise, cut alcohol, do my best to sleep/wake up with a schedule. Make a

Agree, completely. Also aligns in spirit with "company is not your family" idea. The original post reads like an aggregation of complaints. I have some too! In particular stating that the Apple Watch is too complicated to use reso

I’m not an engineer by profession but am building a consulting practice solo. The main concern I have is whether solo work is training me to deprioritize friends/friendships. Sometimes I think yes, sometimes no. Especially as a male wi
