Trying to finish work after a long week...

The world’s most popular book on habit change: Atomic Habits I've spent the past 100 days summarizing and visualizing the best ideas in the book. Here's what I learned:

Regular reminder: your worth is not defined by your job title or how well that is going (note to self)

#BlueMonday isn’t real, but depression is, and it doesn’t care what day it is. We’re here for you no matter the day 💙

I think we all know this, but a healthy reminder.

I saw this story trending last year and set a calendar reminder to read it again around the holidays. This just hits different…

My most played song of the year, according to Spotify. It has been another one of those years... Joanna Sternberg - This is Not Who I Want to Be open.spotify.com/track/5XwNBbIO…

Today one of my team said to me that he thought my job was to create the conditions where people could choose to be happy at work, and the rest was up to them. I really love this way of expressing the power and boundaries of management.

Such an incredible week in our buzzing Manchester Office, as we hosted an Engineering/UX/Product Management meet up! ⚙️💻 The teams have held sessions including threat modelling, user story mapping, and agile workshops. #productmanagement #teambuilding #engineering #UX

Everyone catching up ..?

I have so much love for @TimTollefson for sharing his history with body dysmorphia and eating disorder youtu.be/fdlTL14vZqQ

@PThexton I might have entered a 100 miler on 11th June 2022 so I'll let you know after that! Bit more elevation expected for me, and a lot less support!

Yes he’s an only relatively recently retired pro athlete, but I still find this really impressive. Thoughts @MarkWalker54 ?

Great, thought provoking read, highly recommended.

@adharanand Reading Jonathan Safran Foer - We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast right now. In lead up to cop26 seems wild, but unsurprising, for government to be propping this up.

If, like me, you were wondering why CO2 is so vital to “keeping food on the shelves” … “Animals are exposed to high concentrations of CO2 in an abattoir resulting in gradual loss of consciousness before they go to slaughter.” inews.co.uk/news/uk/co2-wh…

Set a reminder for this Saturday at 10am when next year's South Downs Way 100 entries open. Who's going to enter? centurionrunning.com/races/south-do…

I've become semi obsessed with Winter Solstice by @LYRband after hearing it on @Guy_Garvey radio show. Such uplifting music with knockout #SimonArmitage lyrics and delivery 😍 youtu.be/fK-xy_1C_o4

@BillyYang Peanut butter makes me wretch.

What is a food you can’t stand, but everyone else seems to love?

Pulse ox also available on at least some @GarminUK watches :) bbc.co.uk/news/health-55…

@paulsmithsonuk And I quite like working (shhh). Happy new year, Paul!

Happy 2021. Hope we all get some chances to climb that goddamn mountain.
