Info refinery #3: Be vulnerable, praising internet and the decisive moments in your day
Here is the most interesting of all that I have consumed during the previous week.
🤯 What have I learned this week
Do you want to strengthen relationships with others? Be vulnerable. When we open up, we allow others to admit their vulnerabilities as well. (link)
Can you imagine your new boss sending a link upfront about his style of management, his preferences on communication, his weaknesses and expectations? Some people are doing it (example). I believe this is a great way to avoid misunderstandings and to free up time to focus on what’s important.
9/11 was a defining moment in aviation history. Covid-19 seems to be as defining if not more. Businesses are now quickly shifting to doing everything they can online, what will this mean for business-specific travel? Lots of unknowns, but a great video about the topic here.
😮 Interesting things in the web
Fancy dinner for kids at home
Where do old people live in the UK? Great interactive visualization
🍴 Food for thought
Can you detect the habits that shape the next minutes or hours? James Clear refers to them as decisive moments. They lead you down a path, and before you know you're speeding toward the next behavior. For example, the small action of sitting on the sofa instead of putting the gym clothes might impact what you are doing in the next couple of hours.
📊 Visualization of the week
My entry for this week #tidytuesday visualization challenge:
🧠 What’s on my mind
I believe in the power of the Internet. It helps many people belong to a group of people that thinks alike, we all strive for feeling accepted, is inherent to our nature.
In confinement we can still communicate with people, we take this for granted, but my grandpa literarily cried the first time he had a Skype meeting, he couldn’t believe it. We have a platform to share and gain knowledge instantly and many people offering their time to help those who have been affected directly by the Coronavirus situation. I feel very privileged to have born in an era where the Internet was not part of everyday life and to experience the way it has changed our lives (for better and for worst).
