We're coming up on the end of the year and it's time to review what worked and didn't so we can come up with plans for 2021, right? Wrong! If 2020 has taught us anything, we don't always have control over all the things we put into typical annual plans, complete with SMART goals and actionable strategies. That type of planning is OUT. What is IN is cultivating smart habits that keep you in tune with your market and allow you to respond to them with ease and confidence.

By now you've probably heard the news: Kim Ng was hired by the Miami Marlins as the first-ever female General Manager of a Major League Baseball team. What a terrific acknowledgement of Ng's credentials and experience, built up over decades. But alongside all the cheers, I found myself asking, "Why did it take so long to smash baseball's glass ceiling and let a woman in?”.

The social media companies optimized their algorithms for profit. And profit, they figured, would come from engagement. And engagement, they figured, would come from confounding our instincts and rewarding outrage.

Over the next few weeks, there may be fewer urgencies than usual. That’s the nature of coming back from a break. What if we used the time to move system deficiencies from the “later” pile to the “it’s essential to do this right now” pile?

Two videos for when you might have time. For no really good reason, I filmed this long riff about my experience with the early days of video and adventure games.

Rewatching them, I’m reminded of how many lucky breaks I’ve had, how often I got the benefit of the doubt and how being in the right place at the right time can change so much.
