@RebeccaCNReid enjoy 😎 i can't wait to read it

@RebeccaCNReid It's out here now, no? I think that's the date of the paperback

@Discoplomacy Highly recommend the Cumbria Way which goes over the Lake District south/north

@CloeyCallahan I have many unread emails, but I see my inbox as a pool to fish from instead of a to-do list. I read the SL and sender of all the emails I get, star the ones I need to do something with, and that's the list of emails I care about. I just use search (not filing) to find old emails

Every once in a while I think about the insanity of HBR asking Seinfeld if McKinsey could have made him more efficient

If you are a modern professional, focus on mastering the art of skimmable writing.

Skimmable doesn’t mean short.

It means well-organized, logical, and visually not an eye sore.

It means thinking clearly.

It means using information hierarchy.

It means reducing cognitive load.

It's a skill you'll use every day, and your coworkers will appreciate you for it.

@LukeMLabour good luck Luke!

@hackneycouncil How can I request a new bike rack on a particular street? In this spot, there are always many more bikes that need parking than there are spaces to lock up. Thank you!

[Laura Townshend @lauratownshend]

@hackneycouncil Also, btw, is a bike hangar one of those closed locked things? Because this area wouldn't be appropriate as a lot of the demand is one-off/passing. Can I register interest for just normal bike stands instead? Thanks for replying btw :)

[Laura Townshend @lauratownshend]

@hackneycouncil Got it! Where can I register my interest?

Shouldn’t have to be said, but Uxbridge result *doesn’t* speak to wider voter concern on green issues. Polling shows environment remains top tier issue. However, what it does show is that voters will react if they feel a specific intervention isn’t fair… https://t.co/ZetdUahzL1

I'm looking for some simple analysis of the most covered topics + stories in the UK media over the last year or two. Does anyone have any pointers?

[Laura Townshend @lauratownshend]

@AyeshaTandon Ahhh Ayesha this is brilliant - huge huge congratulations.

@daisydunnesci Loved reading this, and very envious of your trip!

I find it interesting that so few working in insight management/insight generation have realized how significantly their work would improve if they just used the "180 test" from strategy.

If the opposite of your insight is a complete nonsense, it is not an insight.

@ukpassportcheck Thank you so much for creating this bot, it helped me get an appointment 🙏

the most powerful climate report of the decade was published on monday, after 195 governments fought over the words in its summary for policymakers, and the only media allowed in the room just published its account of who lobbied for what 1/

"The other common misconception that needs addressing is that thinking is necessarily solitary. The tech industry suffers from a deep association of work with individual productive toil, and that just isn’t what knowledge work is."
