I'm grateful as ever to play a part on the Aspen team. When life forced remote work, the team put lessons to use. What took shape is Playspace—a platform that combines digital collaboration tools with shared spaces. Work's more fun when it's play. More at play.space

A new path for Playspace

Playspace has entered into a definitive agreement to join Google Workspace.

1. Make sure you're registered to vote. 2. Vote as early as your state allows you to. 3. Familiarize yourself with the instructions for how you're voting. 4. If you're voting by mail, return your ballot ASAP. 5. If you're voting in person, have a plan for when and where. 👊

We can now read the Imperial College report on COVID-19 that led to the extreme measures we've seen in the US this week. Read it; it's terrifying. I'll offer a summary in this thread; please correct me if I've gotten it wrong. imperial.ac.uk/media/imperia…

In our family we teach “I want” statements—not to raise bossy kids, but people who know what they want, learn to communicate what they want, are open to being reminded of higher desires over impulsive reactions, and do all of this in the context of others.

Quality insights here from @johannhari101 youtube.com/watch?v=MB5IX-np… "Your depression is not a malfunction—it's a signal... There are very real biological contributions to depression and anxiety, but... you're not a machine with broken parts."

"You are a human being with unmet needs.... The solution to these problems [of depression and anxiety] does not lie in drawing more on your resources as an isolated individual... it lies on reconnecting with something bigger than you..."

I'm lucky to work with amazing people—the kind who streamline feelings of empowerment, creativity, and collaboration. How? Among other things, a dogged commitment to improvement, transparency, follow through, and respect. 1/3

Working that way makes our jobs easier; it makes life simpler. In that spirit, we built a thing—a thing that makes working together easier and the output better. 2/3

Before gadgets controlled our attention and busyness was revered what did we do with our time? Daydream more often...

Downside: Daydreaming can distract focus & harm mental health (e.g. negative rumination.) Upside: Daydreaming helps us explore new ideas, improves memory, consolidates learning, promotes focus & creativity, can lower blood pressure & increase empathy.

I try to remind myself of this when considering how I spend my time and organize my kids’ time. A bit more on the topic: thisisinsider.com/benefits-o…

Daydreaming might actually be a good thing — here's why

While one might associate daydreaming with being distracted and unproductive, the opposite might be true. Daydreaming can actually increase your working memory, make you more creative, and much more.

California has more people than the 20 smallest states combined - but they have 40 Senators (out of 100); California has 2. That, in a nutshell, is why the longest serving (ever) Congressman John Dingell (of MI-19) calls for the abolition of the Senate. theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

I Served in Congress Longer Than Anyone. Here’s How to Fix It.

Abolish the Senate and publicly fund elections.

I bask in the simple, descriptive writing of E.B. White’s Charlotte’s Web. Bedtime reading with my kids has never been more fun.

A GOOD ENOUGH mindset is the key to being great (and happy). -Acceptance > delusional thinking -Patience > speed -Presence > busyness -Vulnerability > personal brand -Community > individuality Worked real hard on this one. My latest @outsidemagazine. outsideonline.com/2348226/ca…

It's OK to Be Good and Not Great

What if striving to be great is what's holding you back?
