People multitask in over 30% of virtual meetings. If you want their undivided attention, move meetings to the afternoon—and keep them small and short. Our best analytical and creative thinking often happens before lunch (or after dinner). Protect mornings to focus on deep work.

Over the past two years, there has been immense support for my family, wife, and me, and it has been overwhelmingly positive. It really exceeded any expectations I would have to begin with. From the "Under The Skin" Podcast, with Russell Brand.

"no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.” - Isaiah 54:17 ESV

"for not by their own sword did they win the land, nor did their own arm save them, but your right hand and your arm, and the light of your face, for you delighted in them. " - Psalm 44:3 ESV

Look Beaker you can get along!

It's impossible to please everyone. The question is whether you're disappointing the right people. Part of setting healthy boundaries is deciding who you're willing to let down—and who has the right to make you feel guilty. Not everyone deserves power over your emotions.

Emails in your inbox are less urgent than they appear. New data: we think people expect faster night/weekend replies than they actually do—and they underestimate our stress. Simple fix: "This isn't urgent, so get to it whenever you can." Or just wait until normal hours to send.

"You will not need to fight in this battle. Stand firm, hold your position, and see the salvation of the Lord on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem.’ Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed. Tomorrow go out against them, and the Lord will be with you.” - 2 Chronicles 20:17 ESV

"But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me." // 2 Corinthians 12:9

In toxic relationships, one person is always taking and the other is constantly giving. In healthy relationships, both people give and receive with no strings attached. They grant each other the freedom to ask without shame, accept without obligation, and decline without guilt.

Leaders who fail to listen ultimately find themselves surrounded by silence. You don't get chosen to take charge unless you give good answers. You won't be able to make change unless you ask good questions. Learning depends on making it safe for people to tell you the truth.

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” - Upton Sinclair

“Do not waste time bothering whether you ‘love’ your neighbor; act as if you do, and you will presently come to love him.” - C.S. Lewis

It's worth noting, Jesus never told us it was our job to fix the world. He said our job was to love each other. Subtle but sobering distinction. In other words, the whole world isn't your concern. The people in your world are. Start loving those you know and move outward.
