I don’t particularly recommend books.
I recommend people.

If you don’t know who Dan Palotta is - you should.
This is a short introduction to him, his ideas and his work and how it ties to something I wrote nearly 10 years ago.

Chris Lockhead dropped a post on LinkedIN regarding retirement.
To me retirement is the macro version of the daily work-life balance.
It solves the wrong problem really well.

One that seems to have it a global nerve. It seems like EVERYONE is watching it - so of course I had to. Very Good. Two points to make.

All 3 series have been solid and fun. Not getting better, Not getting worse - but I have to say Alan Ritchson is waaaay better casting than Tommy Cruise for the role.

If you haven’t read 🔗📚 Ollie Henderson’s Future Work/Life you should. Excellent.
This particular quote reminds me of something that Jason Fried wrote in one of his books ..
New technologies tend to imitate the old until people figure out what they’re really meant to do. Early websites were brochures. Early cars looked like horse-drawn carriages. Early TV shows were radio shows with pictures.

So too work. We ‘broke’ work about 5 years ago - but slowly people (Corporates) are ‘fixing it’ (As in making us all go back to our old ways.) This is because they are still looking at work through the lens of the brochure/horseless carriage. It will be a while before we break it again - BUT - it will be broken but only once we have truly unpacked how the new world of work works.
I’ve got ideas. I’ve got people. I’m excited for the future.

But here’s the thing about tech – and I’ve been saying this for years – technology’s self-obsolescence is a more effective regulator than any government agency. Google, despite its trillion-dollar market cap and infrastructure advantages, risks becoming the first of the mega-caps to fade into irrelevance as the internet evolves beyond the “10 blue links” paradigm that made it a giant.
Me - never been overly into the land of Google. Yes - I have an account - and of course I have Google Drive - but it is not my ‘go to’ - unless I am forced into it because a business I am working with has decided it hates Microsoft and has enabled Google. I do think it is hard to beat their ‘office suite’ - for the collaboration part of it - BUT I would never consider writing a doc or knocking out a spreadsheet on Google if I wasn’t expecting somebody to be collaborating with me.

It’s a Harlan Coban. It should have been great. It wasn’t. I am increasingly finding that his stuff falls into 2 star or 4 star. This is the former. I didn’t care about the people. The mystery …
