I'm grateful as ever to play a part on the Aspen team. When life forced remote work, the team put lessons to use. What took shape is Playspace—a platform that combines digital collaboration tools with shared spaces. Work's more fun when it's play. More at https://t.co/TA6bXLl7g4

When so much in the world feels ominous, I’d like to channel this conductor’s vibes at the 7:38 mark, take a deep breath, and march on. ✌🏽

@PGE4Me Helpful tips. Also helpful would be more informative status updates and solutions for extended outages.

1. Make sure you're registered to vote.

2. Vote as early as your state allows you to.

3. Familiarize yourself with the instructions for how you're voting.

4. If you're voting by mail, return your ballot ASAP.

5. If you're voting in person, have a plan for when and where.

We can now read the Imperial College report on COVID-19 that led to the extreme measures we've seen in the US this week. Read it; it's terrifying. I'll offer a summary in this thread; please correct me if I've gotten it wrong.

@justinsmith @outschool Have you used this? Heard impressions from users? I’m generally curious as a parent interested in shared learning experiences for kids. Obvs more relevant now... facing inevitable school closures.

[Heath @Heathrow]

In our family we teach “I want” statements—not to raise bossy kids, but people who know what they want, learn to communicate what they want, are open to being reminded of higher desires over impulsive reactions, and do all of this in the context of others.

"Your depression is not a malfunction—it's a signal... There are very real biological contributions to depression and anxiety, but... you're not a machine with broken parts."

"You are a human being with unmet needs.... The solution to these problems [of depression and anxiety] does not lie in drawing more on your resources as an isolated individual... it lies on reconnecting with something bigger than you..."

I'm lucky to work with amazing people—the kind who streamline feelings of empowerment, creativity, and collaboration. How? Among other things, a dogged commitment to improvement, transparency, follow through, and respect. 1/3

[Heath @Heathrow]

Working that way makes our jobs easier; it makes life simpler. In that spirit, we built a thing—a thing that makes working together easier and the output better. 2/3

[Heath @Heathrow]

I try to remind myself of this when considering how I spend my time and organize my kids’ time.

Before gadgets controlled our attention and busyness was revered what did we do with our time? Daydream more often...

[Heath @Heathrow]

Downside: Daydreaming can distract focus & harm mental health (e.g. negative rumination.)

Upside: Daydreaming helps us explore new ideas, improves memory, consolidates learning, promotes focus & creativity, can lower blood pressure & increase empathy.
