In an effort to help me keep up with everything I post each week, here is my latest “Sunday Summary” of my posts from the week.
Mon, October 21: Ruining a good thing by trying too hard
“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.”
Tue, October 22: Throw a jacket on your calendar
“If your calendar is out of control as a result of this ill-conceived protocol, and you have insufficient white space to do your best work, try throwing a jacket on it. Like when you go to the movies alone and wouldn’t mind a little room around you. One often throws a jacket on the next seat. It’s a purposeful-accidental way of staking the territory.”
Wed, October 23: You’re one of the richest people who ever lived
“If you have a roof over your head and enough time to listen to a podcast, you’re one of the richest people who ever lived, even if you’re in debt.”
Thu, October 24: The Yellow List
“The Yellow List is your solution. It’s a document where you “park” items that you need to discuss later. The name came from the notes icon on the iPhone, where it was born, but also holds the implied meaning as the color of deceleration between Go and Stop. With a robust use of this tool, you can strengthen your impulse control, moderate urgency, and dramatically cut down on unnecessary communication.”
Fri, October 25: I love talking to people about their favorite book
Sometimes when you get people to talk about their very favorite book it can bring some real magic.
Sat, October 26: When preventing the Osborne Effect hurts
How early would you announce a new product like the reMarkable Paper Pro, both to protect yourself from the Osborne Effect but also to let people situate themselves for the device that would be best for them?
I hope you found some value in this. If you ever have questions, ideas, or disagreements regarding anything I write, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
