I spend a TON of time discussing this - this thread is worth a read…
I spent over 1800hrs in meetings while working from home. And then I revamped my workweek (and brought back sanity🧘) with just 8 actionable tips. Thanks to: @shahedkhan @AmandaMGoetz @thelindazhang @shreyas @lennysan @hnshah @sriramk @kennethn Fewer and efficient meetings. 🧵👇

It is with great sadness that we learnt today of the passing of Wales, @lionsofficial, @newbridgerfc, @LondonWelshRFC and @Barbarian_FC legend John Dawes. Cysga'n dawel, John 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
