My 2.5 year old just did a 21-second dead hang and I think that’s gotta be world-class time for the age group, right?

Dropped a banger in my Teams chat this morning. It was bumblebee-related, don’t ask.

You can throw away half of the things in your kitchen drawer. Try it - there are utensils you never use, stick those in a closet for a few months and see if you miss them. You'll be happier working with a less messy drawer.

God is testing me today. So far I'm passing. Barely 3 hours into the work day and I've been presented with three of the stupidest messages from colleagues that I've seen in a very long time. And I've chosen to NOT reply to them because in this context, violence is not the…

Controversial opinion: "Can you hear me OK?" and "Can you see my screen?" are weak-ass ways to open an online meeting. Start your meeting with confidence and gusto. If you're having technical issues, someone will point it out. If nobody tells you they can't hear you, they don't…

If ever you wanted to start the habit of waking up earlier - to walk, journal, work out, etc - today was the best day to start. Tomorrow is second best. Go.

It’s not Halloween yet. Why am I seeing milk that expires at Christmas?

“Artists” calling for censorship don’t know what art is. “Scientists” citing consensus don’t know what science is. “Teachers” indoctrinating students don’t know what teaching is. “Journalists” parroting propaganda don’t know what reporting is. Programming us all day long.

I tell myself I hit the gym for fitness and overall health, not for aesthetics. But I just say a new vein in my right arm and I am CHUFFED. Perhaps there’s a bit more vanity than I previously acknowledged.

I’d be 8% BF if it weren’t for peanut M&Ms. If they’re in the house, I eat them. And keep eating them. I’d be better off if they weren’t in the house. I do all the grocery shopping… but for the life of me I can not find a way to solve this problem.

What leadership roles do you have? Parent, friend, teacher, coach, manager? People who look to you for leadership need 4 things: Trust, compassion, stability, and hope. How can you provide more of those?

Make sure your meetings have an agenda, even just a few points to indicate what the meeting is about. Agenda questions are helpful to focus on outcomes. Instead of “Status update” try “Are we on schedule?” or “KPI discussion” ask “What should we measure to gauge progress?”

Plan vs action, from everyone’s main man James Clear. Planning matters, but only action gets results. The rock won’t break until the 100th time your hammer strikes it, but the first 99 strikes are action - don’t mistake your rumination for those 99 seemingly unproductive strikes.

Good morning and welcome to November I’m going to do 3000 push-ups this month - 100 per day, in addition to regular workouts. I don’t expect it to be physically challenging, more of an exercise in consistency.

If you ever schedule meetings for work, your team is begging of you: When updating a recurring meeting series, don’t be the jackhole who puts “NEW SERIES” in the subject line. Add context in the notes field, if warranted. “31 Oct 2022: Changed start time to 10:30”
