What is one very useful technique that you developed or started doing to increase your efficiency and productivity (something that you really experienced and harvested the benefits)

e.g. restraining myself from using the mouse in excel to make sure I learn all the shortcuts, using colour coding in outlook to differentiate started and done items, writing on paper 3 priorities for every single day and associate them reasonable deadlines

Before sending a meeting invite, asking myself: “can this be an email”

On the other side, asking for an agenda before a meeting starts and asking if we actually need to have that meeting if it’s something that can be done via email

If we have a meeting, discuss what we’re gonna discuss and make sure action items are down at the end.

If we go over time, set another time limit or continue on a different day. This one is important as you don’t turn a half hour meeting into a 90 minute meeting just because you can keep talking when it’s not necessary.

If you can’t tell I HATE meetings

Using MS planner (trello equivalent)

i use my Outlook calendar as a to do list as well - meaning all tasks i have to work on, i plan them into my calendar with pretty exact time forecasts and delete them out as i complete them. then i rarely book myself out too much with meetings, rarely need to do overtime unless i decided to, and def helps me to stay focused because i know if i don't get this thing done now, I'll have to do overtime. changed my life.

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
