I've been thinking about Play a lot. Here's my attempt to distill that into 4 minutes of useful content for you to read. :) cedw.medium.com/play-b44c3bc…

In tough times, who we have around us becomes even more important. ow.ly/JFHV50JtKrR
Decision making is so important. Ironically, it's hard to decide what to leave in a short tips post. What did I miss? Any disagreements you have? ow.ly/Wf7U50ILPlS
This looks like it'll be great! AND "donating 100% of my royalties to organizations advancing women and underrepresented minorities in tech"
My author's copies of LOVED arrived-April 12th release is right around the corner! I'm donating 100% of my royalties to organizations advancing women and underrepresented minorities in tech. Thanks @costanoavc @cagan and all who pre-ordered to make it a #1 New Release on @amazon!

Over 2hrs on hold with @RBC now after “transfer”. 3 years without resolving an issue with my credit card working... time to move on. Hanging up and time for a new credit card company.

If you’re a fan of "7 habits of highly effective people" (or maybe even if not)… I wrote about where I’m at with my 7 habits, after 5 years or so. Some success and a lot of failing developing habits. Hope it helps by providing my perspective/adaptations.
