Sticky Baton

My favorite pause of the year. Wishing an easy fast to those observing!

A friend who observes the Sabbath said something to me recently that hasn't left my head:

"A day without the phone is better than a holiday with it."

No notifications. No scrolling. No half-presence while your mind is somewhere else. Just one day, fully here.

We spend so much

The biggest mistake in succession planning?

Assuming the baton can be handed off when the time comes.

Great transitions happen long before the handoff.

Where in your life have you been quietly optimizing for frictionless?
