We break down one concept like this every issue. If this one landed, the newsletter is worth a look.

We're so good at being present in the room and completely absent in the conversation. Physically there, mentally somewhere else, waiting for our turn to fix something.

You're half-listening while they talk, already forming your response, maybe even solving a problem they didn't ask you to solve. What do you think people actually want most when they come to you with something hard?

One reason we're not as present as we think: we're solving instead of listening. We hear someone start talking and immediately start drafting a response. Two minutes of just... not doing that is harder than it sounds, try it tonight.

We're so quick to jump into fix-it mode that we skip the part that actually matters - just being present. Try this once today: when someone starts talking, give them 2 full minutes before you say anything. Notice how hard that actually is.

We break down one concept like this every issue. If this one landed, the newsletter is worth a look.

Try this: next time you push back on a new approach, pause and ask yourself one question. "Am I defending this because it's effective, or because it feels like mine?" You don't have to change anything. Just know the difference. 🔍

We defended a notes app we complained about yesterday and didn't realize it until after the conversation ended.

Someone shows you their perfectly organized Notion setup and you catch yourself defending your chaotic Notes app like it's a personal philosophy... but yesterday you complained about that same app. Why do we protect the systems we hate just because they're ours?
