┬┴┬┴┤(･_├┬┴┬┴ Nº129 The more you ‘no’, the further you’ll go! 🙅⛔
Spring is in full swing in Amsterdam & I’m feeling crunched for time.
I wrote about managers’ vs makers’ time back in issue 55 just over a year ago. I’d like to think I’ve gotten better at saying no since then.
But I don’t think I have, I’m still rushing from meeting to meeting and packing in as much as possible.
Time is our most irreplaceable asset — we cannot buy more of it. We cannot get a second of it back. We can only hope to waste as little as possible. Yet somehow we treat it as most renewable of all resources.
As always thank you for reading,
Jon

Radness
Haha. I’m admittedly a sub-par pro cycling fan. Each year, I swear I’ll step it up. But retired pro youtube channels? I’ll all over it! Get stoked on the Taiwan KOM challenge here.
