Jake & JZ on All the Hacks podcast, plus summer reading recommendations
|
Hey there! This newsletter will be a short one—and the last one—until I’m back from vacation visiting family in Minnesota. For me, I’ve always cherished leisurely summer days where I can become completely immersed in a good book. There's something unique about the unhurried pace of reading a book, as opposed to scrolling my favorite Infinity Pool feed, that helps ease me into a relaxed summer state of mind. So in the theme of summer reading, I asked Jake & JZ to share some recent favorites, and included a couple of my own, that you'll find below. Feel free to hit reply and let us know what you're reading, we'd love to know! Oh, and if you're a podcast fan (I'm addicted!), you might enjoy the latest interview from Jake & JZ on Chris Hutchins' All the Hacks show. Easy links for listening: Apple, Spotify, Overcast or for watching: YouTube.

I’m hosting a free workshop next week on Wednesday, October 23rd exploring distraction and how to adjust your devices and apps so you can find Laser mode. 👉...

Hey there, I recently polled my LinkedIn connections to ask how they felt about chat apps (Teams, Slack, etc.) at work. Here’s what I heard back: The majority of respondents weren't too stoked about how much time they're spending on chat apps, but that didn't surprise me. It's become the new default communication medium for so many teams and organizations. But the real challenge isn't necessarily how much time you spend on Slack, it's how often it breaks our focus when we're trying to work on...
