Raising a child is noteworthy. Same for the millions of people who do it now, and the millions of people who did it before them. Just because millions of people do it doesn't diminish the significance of it. Framing it as such, is like saying there's no point running a race if you don't come first. A personal victory is still a victory. If it matters to you, then that's all that matters. All of those things like authoring papers, winning great prizes, setting records, will all be eventually be lost to time.

I was pleasantly surprised to find one of the major London cycle lanes that goes from Tower Bridge to Greenwich gives priority to cyclists crossing side roads https://maps.app.goo.gl/b3SweRqzvNehTcE38

The way I've heard it phrased is "Non-fiction teaches us about the world, fiction teaches us about ourselves."

Shamelessly stolen .;''-. The lessons I was taught about the things of my thoughts is that if I write until I quit then my thinking becomes quiet. I write. I write to think. I write quite a lot.

I'm very interested to know more about what "editing prompts" is! And where to find/use it?

It's one thing to be curious as to why they couldn't have housed their mother, but it's possible to ask with empathy and compassion rather than assumptions and judgment.

One use case is the web view allows you to check emails of a workspace that requires a Google Device policy to be installed to use the native apps. Of course, the simple solution is to be given a workplace phone or don't check emails when away from a computer.

I'm interested to know a bit more about your self-debriefs. What is the format? Are you reflecting back on specific events, or is this a daily practice?

What is the best way to support Mozilla/Firefox? I'm happy to sign up for this if it is the best way to contribute to the longevity of the product I use more than anything else.

100% agree. I know I can't absorb this all now, but I can take what looks important and digest and integrate it over time.

That's not the impression I have from the article. The overwhelming % of execs are pushing for positive change. At the end of the day, it's the "put your own mask on first" principle. Execs are humans just like everyone else, with their own job pressures and stresses, not robots that can automatically compartmentalise and supress their own feelings and emotions.

What do you use for keeping files synced between different machines like Dropbox/OneDrive/GDrive does?
