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, September 16: Just a little bit can ruin your day
“Our study revealed that individuals who watched just three minutes of negative news in the morning were 27 percent more likely to report their day as unhappy six to eight hours later.”
Tue, September 17: Almost all word of mouth is still offline
How much word of mouth happens online? Most people guess 50% or more, given the popularity of social media, but the real number is much lower. In the book “Contagious“, author Jonah Berger shares that it’s just 7%.
Wed, September 18: But how will we track it?
Tracking can be quite important, and we track all that we can, but it can lead to bad decisions. Rather than choosing the direction that is best, we often resort to choosing the direction that is easier to track.
Thu, September 19: The “Maker’s Schedule” vs the “Manager’s Schedule”
My schedule undoubtedly should be a “Maker’s Schedule” at this point, but it’s still a “Manager’s Schedule” for the most part. It’s something I need to work on, and this simple framework is helping me push it forward.
Fri, September 20: Who are you working for?
“Do you work for the algorithm or are you committed to working for the people who want to go where you hope to take them?”
Sat, September 21: You can’t fix it later
“The idea that one can go all in on career and then later reconcile it with life’s other critical priorities is both popular and seductive. It has one major shortcoming, who has ever successfully done it?”
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.
