Back-to-back meetings drain our brains. We need downtime in between to recover.
New research: even 10-minute breaks between meetings are enough to reduce stress, improve focus, and boost engagement.
Instead of defaulting to 30/60min meetings, we should schedule 20/50min blocks.

In hard times, people don't want to be told to look on the bright side. They want to know you're on their side.
Even if you can't help them feel better, you can always help them feel seen.
The best way to support others is not to cheer them up. It's to show up.

Precedent is a poor reason for decisions. It calcifies the status quo without a compelling rationale.
It doesn’t matter how long a tradition has stood. If the old way is wrong, it should be challenged and changed.
Progress lies in improving the future, not defending the past.

When groups meet to brainstorm, good ideas are lost. People bite their tongues due to conformity pressure, noise, and ego threat.
A better approach is brainwriting: generate ideas separately, then meet to assess and refine.
Group wisdom begins with individual creativity.

The evidence is clear: open offices are bad for people and organizations.
-27% more sick days
-14% lower cognitive performance
-70% less face-to-face interaction
For the sake of health, productivity, and collaboration, let's design spaces with doors.

In burnout cultures, people are judged by the sacrifices they make. Hobbies, vacations, and even family time are viewed as distractions to penalize.
In healthy cultures, people are judged by the commitments they keep. Interests outside work are seen as passions to celebrate.
