Hit and Miss #308: Full of fulfillment

Hello!

A happy Sunday to you :) Writing, again, at the end of a full but fulfilling weekend. This weekend featured hours in parks, enjoying the grass and the scenery and the quiet—yesterday, visiting some dear friends back in town for a visit with their baby; today, imagining the future and reading with T. Really enjoying this cool weather break—here’s to August, the better part of summer.

• Our devices, software, and mindsets quantify and incentivize growth, but don’t know what to do with rest.
• “Working, humanely” isn’t something that feels possible some days, and yet there are little pockets of goodness out there—even if only for a time.
• Sharing a post on learning from incidents, Mandy Brown applies its lessons to retrospectives in general.
• A helpful framework for thinking about financial investments: the “return on hassle spectrum”.
• Studies on the link between CO2 and cognition are all over the map, suggesting the need for more research—well-explained science interpretation, thank you!!
• I’ve been slowly enjoying the second season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds—episodic content, thank you!!—and don’t have a link to share about it, just to say, it’s good.

All the best for the week ahead!
