"I have insisted to water companies that by the end of June I want an action plan for every single [sewage] overflow". Brilliant! It's now the end of August, where's the plan? Peston

Hi folks, it’s been a day of settling. I have to say I haven’t yet assimilated the whole thing. Thank you for all your warm words of congratulations & admiration. I really appreciate your kindness. I’m enjoying family time, sliding back into home life. My Dad painted this for me.

"Why has my Thames Water bill been hiked by 30% overnight?" Easy. Because the owners have taken over £3bn in dividends out of the company, over £2.2bn in loans, left the company almost £14bn in debt & with a pension fund deficit of nearly £400mn. thisismoney.co.uk/money/bills/ar…

There is so much to recommend in the Pleasant Green work of Dr. Ilja Hande MBA.. But for truck drivers and long travelers, it is also a terrific meditation on not only toxic loneliness but also the power of friendship. open.spotify.com/show/16OB0WII5…

I want to leave Matthew Perry’s own words here as the way we remember him. There will never be another like him- he lit up so many hearts in so many ways. Godspeed to Paradise!

Parkinson's Law: work expands to fill the time given. When we have more time, we tend to procrastinate and become inefficient. A good reminder to track your tasks duration and energy level.

Goodhart's Law: When a measure becomes a goal, it stops being a good measure. I.g: Exams and standard admission shifted the focus of education. It's no longer about the students, but about grades and pay.

The Curse of Knowledge: Experts assume everyone knows what they know. But they struggle to teach or lead effectively for those still learning. Simplicity is an art.

Hofstadter's Law: Projects always take longer and cost more than you expect, even when you consider Hofstadter's Law. Double the time, triple the cost—despite your best calculations.
