El Chocó querido I wish this weren’t the way so many people finally know and acknowledge you 💔

The epicenter of the Colombian earthquake was in Chocó the most under resourced department of Colombia, where the population is almost entirely afrocolombiano & indigenous. very little coverage but the few videos show absolute devastation. 😢 www.instagram.com/reel/Db3qHFA...

How we doing friends? Anyone got the Sunday Scaries about what their Monday morning to do list might look like?

Today would have been my cousin’s husband’s 59th birthday. Instead, cancer took him last month far too young. The days feel long but life can pass so quickly. A reminder to hold on with care to your community. It’s all so fragile. Missing one heck of a scientist, tennis player, dad & friend.

Grateful for a long weekend away to rest & spend some quality 1:1 time with my youngest. Trip made possible and affordable by @dashbusva.bsky.social @amtrak.com @mta.info LIRR & my best friend/college roommate who somehow managed to end up with a pool. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I keep getting sponsored ads for a certain digital calendar/home management piece of equipment. If it works for you, great. But I, like many, have neither the budget nor wall/counter space for more stuff. Simple, low cost or free strategies work better than another thing that promises to fix all.

IG keeps trying to sell folks another planner, color-coded bins, labels, carts, and productivity gadgets to fix ADHD or overwhelm. If you have executive function challenges you not need to spend all your $ on stuff that just becomes another thing manage.

Count me in for a thoughtful system winning over “one neat trick” (even if it’s perhaps the best player of all time). (This post is about fútbol but also executive function. Sorry o can’t help myself.)

Ok thank god more Muppets.

Did they think we needed a quick little nap after the muppets and BTS before Shakira?

A hill I’ll die on: Entire industries try to tell you that you need more discipline & sell you hacks. But I bet what you actually need are fewer decisions. Every recurring decision is a chance to build a way that cuts down on the number of decisions you have to make in a day.

Mid-week check in, friends: How’s your progress on priority tasks going? If the answer is “not great,” don’t ask yourself “How do I finish this?” Ask “What’s the smallest action that proves I’ve started?” Decision fatigue sucks. Momentum can start really small and is usually how you get to done.

Pausa de confusión, wherein it is acceptable to stop conversations twice during an event to get clarification on something going on. Can we make this happen.

“Are you a pirate?” Girl is acting brand new like she isn’t born and raised in ALX and seen the town crier umpteen times every year of her existence. 🤦🏼‍♀️

It’s Friday afternoon. You may not have much mental energy left to do deep, focused work. Instead, try using the last half hour to hour of your day to capture everything that still needs to get done.

I have a rare meeting-free day. The voice in my head still defaults to “omg I’ll be able to get EVERYTHING done.” But meetings structure a day, so it’s extra important on meeting free days to create structure, such as:

An aspect of executive functioning is inhibitory control - that “pause” before making a rash decision. Like quitting your current job and applying for this. Not that anyone is thinking of doing that. Certainly not me. Why do you ask.

Nooooooo 😭
