5 Tweet Tuesday - July 9, 2024

💎  5 Tweet Tuesday 💎 

If you’re new around here, every week I share the 5 best tweets I saw in the past 7 days.

I scroll, so you don’t have to.

Let’s get to it:

#1 💎 

This is actually a very powerful idea. 

Relationships have arguments, disagreements, fights and ugly moments. Those are “cuts”.

You said something or did something. They said something or did something. Cut. cut, cut.

It’s inevitable. Cuts will happen. Which means - the part that’s in our control is what happens after the cut. 

Do you heal to 99%...or 101%? It sounds small. Just 2%. But it’s a massive difference.

99% means, eventually the relationship decays to zero. 101% means it gets better and better over time. 

This week, I’m making it a point of emphasis to heal every cut to 101%.

#2 💎 

Here’s two principles I use in my companies (feel free to steal):

  • Don’t debate, if the data is available (get the data first, then discuss) 

  • “A prototype is worth a thousand meetings” (building a simple way to ‘taste test’ is often faster AND better than trying to figure things out in our heads)

#3 💎 

Actually - I have a twist on this. Go on a ‘work vacation’

Rent a cabin. Invite your 1-2 closest collaborators. 

Don’t leave cabin for 7 days. Work “two-a-days” (9am-4pm, break/eat/hike, work again 7pm-2am) 

You’ll make 2-3 months work of progress in 1 week. 

I’ve done this many many times (used to call these hackweeks), and works every time.

#4 💎 

Love this writing. I recently started blogging (for the first time in years!) and wrote a post on the same topic, called Someday

#5 💎
