Amplifying this to my follower, because it's such a good way to approach OKRs.
it's plan-to-plan season & this comes to mind: OKRs should represent the things you'd be genuinely excited about achieving. I call this “the high-five standard” — if you wouldn’t high-five about it, you might be setting goals around the wrong things, and then doing the wrong work

"I only ask that you care before it’s too late, That you live aware and awake, That you lead with love in hours of hate." At #UNGA, poet, activist & @unicef supporter @theamandagorman shared a powerful poem calling for urgent action to achieve the #GlobalGoals.

It's pretty crazy how #PaperGirls by @Legendary was dropped by Am*zon for not enough streams when it received extremely positive reviews DESPITE the decision to de-prioritize promotion for the series. Be a hero and PICK THIS UP! #SavePaperGirls @AppleTVPlus @paramountplus @hulu

In 2020, 81 million Americans voted to save our democracy. That’s why Donald Trump isn’t just a former president. He’s a defeated former president. Now, you need to vote to save democracy again.

We're brewing this year's batch of Black Thunder today. Totally serious - there's a huge thunderstorm every time we brew it. This is a 5 year streak. Sorry and/or you're welcome.

Does anyone else have this experience where six digit verification codes texted to you for login verification seem really familiar, like they are being repeated? Or is it just a malfunction in my brain?

So a high-profile executive recruiting firm I've worked with in the past texted to ask me to provide a "confidential reference" for an unidentified former colleague. I asked if the person was aware; they were not. I declined, because it felt like a breach of trust. Right call?

Every so often there will be a burst of Twitter conversations on the “Reverse Conway Manoeuver” and related topics. I find this encouraging, but not for a reason you might suspect. Hear me out; this is important. 1/28
