I have noticed something deeply suspicious about adult calendars. They are extremely full. There are meetings, deadlines, calls, errands and the mysterious category known as “follow-up.” From 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., the calendar looks like a highly organized game of Tetris where responsibility always wins. But if […]
How do you manage screen time for yourself? There’s a new workplace epidemic spreading faster than a viral TikTok. That is that of “texting while meeting”. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that CEOs are fed up with it, and honestly, I get it. You look around the […]
The other night I was scrolling through my Apple TV streaming options, half-looking for a new series, half-procrastinating on actual work, when I landed on Platonic. Cute, funny show.
