Had to bid on a word that could describe the collection itself. There's something special about choosing a word that comments on the work it's part of.

Glad I got to be part of this, @jackbutcher. Brilliant concept and execution!

Got overwhelmed while organizing my books so this happened 🤣

Content idea: Read aloud books in a sarcastic tone

IMHO brand and voice guidelines are still so vague and subjective.

Start-ups should have a publishing team in charge of gathering and sharing stories of the company. This "canon" can be used by other teams.

I think I just created my dream job.

The people who are most afraid of AI taking over their jobs are the ones who haven't used it to do their jobs.

Love this user-centered solution for remembering where you parked.

Instead of having to remember numbers/letters, you recall the the theme-keyword.

Here's the seasons area, there are other themes like music genre, insects, etc.

Life is a series of B-rolls with some main footage scattered about📽️

You don't finish tasks not because you don't know how to prioritize.

It's because you don't know how to remove the unnecessary ones.

2. A backside view of the Great Sphinx that features its giant tail.

[Bituin @bituincallanta]

Saw this on display in my mom-in-law's university.

Miniatures are so fun to look at! I feel like a giant who needs to be extra careful around these things.

Polly Pocket's original name was Stephanie Street, until someone pointed out that the compact toys can fit in your pocket 💗 who else wishes they bring back the original designs? (photo from IG: aestheticpolly)

My daughter's age is closer to Rory Gilmore's age at the start of the series 🙀

We admire artists and makers who protect their the mornings doing their best work.

I've never heard someone say, “He's such a great leader, he would make sure everyone holds meetings and daily stand-ups before lunch.”

When it's easier to believe in the lie you tell yourself, self-sabotage happens. Working on knowing the real truth could be hard but it's a way out of it.

[Bituin @bituincallanta]

I struggle with self-sabotage & I recently saw an exercise by Martha Beck on how to deal with it. It's called "walking back the cat" 🐈 You go back to the moment where you did the self-sabotaging and recall what happened before..

[Bituin @bituincallanta]

Reflect on the ff:
What was I doing?
What was I feeling?
What was I thinking?

The last question is the most difficult but it reveals the belief you have told yourself to be true but it's actually the lie you tell yourself.
