I should point out, as a formerly #homeless person here in #Seattle of 6 long years... #Starbucks are places many of us on the streets spend our days in order to not freeze to death, places we can order a coffee and sit all day with #WiFi, access to a #bathroom.
When you smash those windows you fuck the most impoverished folks here, the ones you claim to be fighting for. Not to mention the baristas trying to afford rent in our city when they lose shifts.
This small change brings real results. Try it starting Monday.

⚠️Spoiler Alert: When complexity feels "too simple to be true," it is usually because the reality is simple.
Despite past tricks, we can no longer afford to artificially complicate simple problems just to squeeze out more tax revenue. The mask is slipping.

The establishment would rather die of infection than admit their hands were dirty. 🧼🚫
We are biologically wired to prefer a comfortable lie over a blinding, complex truth. But the "Shadow" isn't a thing—it's just a hole where the light hasn't reached yet. Stop clucking at the moon and start looking at the light.

Try this instead:
Use intuition to ask questions, not make choices. If something feels off, check the data.
Make high stakes decisions with debate, not silence. Force people to argue against options to spot what you're missing.
Good decisions aren't about trusting instincts. They're about refusing to trust them blindly.

Key reminders:
Use simple setups, not perfect ones. Focus on what each scenario means for action.
Don't wait for complete data. Use just 3 reliable sources, like analyst reports and government updates.
This gives you faster team alignment and clear next steps in 90 minutes, without getting stuck in endless analysis.

Try this instead:
First, repeat their position clearly: You think X because Y?
Ask questions that dig deeper: Why is this solution nonnegotiable for you?
Keep your body language neutral—no nodding when you disagree.

Pick two free AI tools tonight. Ask both: “Write two lines of iambic pentameter about a broken smart fridge.” Compare what you get. You’ll see one nails the rhythm but messes up tech terms. The other might write nonsense.
AI isn’t one-size-fits-all. Test tools for your specific work. Pick the right one and you’ll save time.

Better approaches:
Force accountability through structured methods like premortems.
Assign someone to challenge your decisions weekly.
Test yourself: If you can’t clearly explain opposing views, you’re not neutral.

What actually works for busy parents? Start with two 20-minute full-body strength sessions a week. Do squats and push-ups. Between sets, climb stairs fast for 60 seconds. You'll get the muscle-building plus heart benefits without wasting hours on cardio machines.
Stop choosing between strength and cardio. That's the real myth. Do both smarter.

When you log into FB after 12 years just for laughs, and the app instantly reminds you of a shitpost you made in 2009, of you doing something asinine and stoopid back in 1997, and then you suddenly realize why we don't log into FB anymore.

Don’t overthink it. Retailer H&M used this approach and made decisions 40% faster by limiting meetings to 45 minutes.
You’ll likely spot 2-3 hidden issues or opportunities in about three weeks. It also builds built-in agility.
