@wiseenberg I tried to float a similar idea for my wedding date (02-02-2020). My parents were unimpressed.

Writing is 50% thinking, 5% typing, 45% deleting the bad parts.

@Ankster29 An interim solution I've heard of: Ask in-office folks to also join the meeting on their laptops with video turned (on for the benefit of remote folks). That would help keep track of chat, raised hands etc. Yet to try this out though.

[Prerna Pradeep @prernapradeep]

How are hybrid meetings (meetings with a mix of in-person and remote attendees) working out for everyone? What's working? What's not?

[Prerna Pradeep @prernapradeep]

@Ankster29 I can see why that might end up happening. It depends on how the room is set up + the conferencing equipment in place.

@kanikat1010 @CMUInnovation Congratulations, Kanika! I’m sure you’re going to do great there :) Excited for you

[Prerna Pradeep @prernapradeep]

@piyashpal No problem! Glad it helped! I remember feeling a bit exhausted while trying these methods. But the results kept me going. The hope is that you eventually develop a habit of doing some of these things.

[Prerna Pradeep @prernapradeep]

@dasranit12 No problem! Glad you enjoyed it!

As an introvert, I'm constantly trying to find ways to thrive at the workplace while staying true to myself. I've put together some tips that have worked for me in the past: https://t.co/r9FUqEgCK3. Do give it a read!

"There’s always room for better" - Ajay Prasad, one of the most humble design leaders I've had the fortune of working with.

This piece of advice was in relation to self-development.

[Prerna Pradeep @prernapradeep]

"We don’t pick the cards we are dealt, or what someone around us says, does or feels. But, we can always choose how we respond. There is glorious freedom and power in that."

In continuation with the one-liners, here's one from Julie Zhou's newsletters.

"Treat uncertainty as part of the process" - Nishtha Pangle, the most zen manager I know.

I like to boil down helpful advice into one-liners that I can revisit. Will share a couple in the next few tweets! This one completely changed my perspective when approaching new projects.

[Prerna Pradeep @prernapradeep]

@kanikat1010 @masterchefau They’re the best!

There's a strange feeling of solace in knowing that you're not alone in what you're feeling given the pandemic. https://t.co/IZoQ4Vlmre

Such a comprehensive guide around designing for search. Useful for those starting out with the feature but also a really informative read overall. Well done, @shashanksahayy! Learnt a ton from this one.

[Shashank Sahay @wiseenberg]

Search has been the most challenging problem space that I've come across so far. In this article, I've tried to explain the different stages in the Search funnel, how they work, the crucial decisions to make in these stages, and how to design for it. 🔍

@kanikat1010 @kanikat1010, thanks for that :) You're someone that's probably just as self-reflective as I am or maybe even more so! I thoroughly enjoy our conversations and benefit from them just as much.

[Prerna Pradeep @prernapradeep]

@shashanksahayy @Medium Thanks @shashanksahayy! It's been amazing collaborative with you on articles. Here's to more to come!

[Prerna Pradeep @prernapradeep]

After proofreading a bunch of articles, I've finally decided to give writing on Medium a go. Here's 'A bit about myself' where I talk about why I want to write in the first place. Keeping this first one short! Do give it a read: https://t.co/TMy8HhzPdd

This has been the most interesting format for a "not a webinar". Joined a bit late but found it thoroughly enjoyable! Thanks, @DesignUpConf!

[DesignUpConf @DesignUpConf]

The next episode in the #DesignUp #2020Circuit - May The 4th Be With You

May 4, Mon 5-6pm IST

A "not-a-webinar" but a rapid round of lightning sharp presentations (inspired by the lightsaber fights) - a peek into the near future and futures far-far-away. https://t.co/7YhVWDX4CT
