Ran 3 "weird" polls last week, one of which offended some people

A short thread...

Not surprisingly, a higher percentage have toxic/not helpful managers than the same for parents or their partners.

And yet,
We find it easy to break up than quit our job.
We find it easy to get mad at our parents but not voice our opinion in office. Image
We take our relationships for-granted, but are always scared to lose our jobs.

So much so that we allow our experience at work, to dictate how we come back to our life and treat the ones closest to us.
When people around you are constantly asking "how can I do this work better, how can I earn more, how can I grow more, how can I achieve more"

I would love for you to instead ask "what does this work do to me?"

From "5 months of cash" to $2Mn, in 18 months

A thread...
Oct 2019
I decided to step down as the CEO of my startup nearbuy.

It had turned profitable after 4 years of massive highs and lows.
But I felt my time was up.
I had been in it for 9+ years now.
I trusted my cofounders more than I trusted my own merit to lead the company forward.

So it was an easy decision to place my baby into their hands, and seek a new path for my life.

My top books of 2021

1. How to Find Fulfilling Work by @romankrznaric

Delightful read. Nothing what one doesn't already know, and yet it leaves an impact because it put words to your beliefs.

2. Think Again by @AdamMGrant

Powerful book that stresses on the fact that knowing we don't know everything is the start to become wise!

7 lessons I learnt while growing up.

A thread...
Dad joined a company and in a year got an offer for double the salary and a car.
This was 1990! And a big deal!

He quit his job, joined the new company, which shut down in a year.
He was without a job for 2 years.
Mom and dad did odd jobs to keep the home running.
Every smart person continued to ridicule dad for taking that call.
But my dad insisted that he would have still taken the call. There was no way to know!

He could have very well succeeded and heralded a hero.

Lesson 1:
Risk and failure is not absolute.
It is a state of mind.

5 life lessons that books have taught me

A thread...
1.
Failure doesn't lead to success.
Reflection does.

Everyone fails.
But not everyone succeeds.
Reflection covers that distance.

Books made me reflect on my failures, as I was able to see how others did the same.

My top 3 books in this category...

11 reasons we procrastinate

A thread...
1. We think we still have time

One of the biggest reasons to postpone what we have to do, is this sense that there is still time left for us to get it done.

This isn't entirely bad, as long as "last minute work" doesn't affect us emotionally.
However, it can play havoc if our estimate is wrong, or it causes anxiety last minute.

Break down the task into smaller measurable tasks.
Add up the times it will take.
Add some buffer.
The sum is the estimated time you will need.

Now compare it with the time you actually have.

17 ways to maximize your productivity.

A thread...
1. Record your thoughts through an audio recorder

Audio captures not just the thoughts but also our emotions at that moment.
Which is super helpful, when we hear it again in the future.

Bonus: Start the voice note with "I am recording this while I was doing..."
Context helps.
2. Pomodoro Technique

A time management technique that's proven to maximize productivity and attention.

Break your day into 25min chunks followed by a 5min break (this 30min unit is called Pomodoro).
After about 4 pomodoros, take a longer break of 15-20mins.
