I do a bit of work maybe every other Sunday to get my head on straight. Every single email is Send later because I’m not an arsehole.

Schedule send is your best friend.

Don’t even open your email on weekends. If they know you do and will respond, they’ll keep doing it. Sometimes it’s like training dogs.

Why you checking email on a Saturday? Log off and turn off the notifications from it. They'll live.

Why not? Please explain.

Emailing asking questions on a Saturday infers you expect me to email you back with answers…on a Saturday.

I should have clarified *this isn’t internal* (completely different mindset when others are counting on answers to get shit done on their weekends).

What’s your email address? I’ll make sure not to email you.

That’s why you are getting so many emails 🔥🔥🔥

Simple - don’t answer. Any work I do on the weekend is on me, it’s not my expectation you are going to respond.

To the folks that do delay send - in all support of that, but also if the person on the other end is already working on their weekend to get caught up or ahead,by delaying send until Monday that person now has a bunch of emails coming in Monday morning.

Why don’t you like answering random questions?

A new analyst has joined our team and we often give them models/ slides but don’t always ask them if they know all of the accounting principles to be able to make minute adjustments to EBITDA or free cash flow. We are a FIG platform, so the knowledge required is relatively unique as well and not as easy to google as corporate transactions. Is there a better way to coach the analyst short of just throwing them in the deep end to figure it out or should we wait for them to ask us for help?

I woke up today tired.

My work cell was buzzing and then I remembered something.

I forgot to thank the bus driver that dropped me off a few days ago.

I got up and rushed downstairs to find the bus driver.

It was raining outside but I was already running barefoot to the bus stop.

I stood there soaked in my pajamas as the bus approached.

Then, the door opened. The driver got up and shook my hand.

I sat down and started my shift.

I’m the bus driver. Reminder to love and thank yourself.
