How many hours are you standing vs sitting during work hours? I have a standing desk and I am at 7 hours standing per day. Wondering if that is average or not great?

It took me a while to acknowledge that titles are not goals. You can be VP somewhere at 22 and an Individual Contributor SE at 52. It is so unique to each individual 💯

Last week I had the shittiest week with seasonal depression + a cold that won't go away. Instead of slogging through, I took a health day & took it easy the rest of the week. I ended up putting together our best performing newsletter issue to date 🤷‍♀️ hours worked ≠ impact

How does one perform in an org where the target keeps moving? It feels like jumping on a rope where the rope is moving in all directions and also is in your way.

I am BEGGING you to please stop telling people their loss of a job is their opportunity to go off on their own and start their own thing. Let them grieve for 5 damn seconds before you push your entrepreneurship agenda on them. You don’t know their financial or life status.

Startups and mid-size companies with healthy revenue have a great opportunity now. Talented folks are looking for work, fast and they are willing to go the mile and beyond. Stability in the top companies seems like a facade today. It’s time for the younger ones to shine ✨

Which route do you pick? Path 1 is practice, Path 2 is an experiential learning journey. Both contribute to mastery. Speed in learning is personal and dependent on the learner and the stage on learning.

Path 1: An elevator that summarizes the history of artifacts on every floor. Path 2: A spiral staircase that you climb up as you observe the artifacts, and immerse in their history. You watch historical clips, speak with experts and build an interactive experience as you go.

Imagine all adults had to pass the law test, even though we didn’t want to be lawyers. I broke down the speed of learning message with an analogy: You are on the 1st floor of a museum. You have two paths to get to the last floor.

In this week's Unlearning Labs newsletter, we spoke about the role of speed in learning: We have all heard these labels: a fast learner, average student and so on. These are all standardization rubrics set by the formal school system. 🧵

The obsession with quantitative goals starts from school. For some kids, it starts at home. If we focus more on the habits, and relay the goals, it builds momentum and a runway to start and continue habits for more than one goal. Habits are perpetual, goals seem short lived.

As I read the layoffs news, I wonder: Were the employees set up for success? I know its not a straightforward answer but makes me wonder how value is perceived and compared to business impact, only? #layoffs

School made me feel that opting for the arts was out of compulsion & not a choice. Either you opted for science, math or you were 'left' with the arts. This is changing slowly for the good.

! I am very excited about Boring Edtech!! Tech that enables education, doesn't need to be fancy smancy but really provides learner, educator and the ecosystem the value it deserves.
