Orange you glad
It’s the punch line of a groan-worthy knock knock joke. If you are so lucky to have never heard it, there are several cycles that go like this: Knock, knock. Who’s there? Banana. Banana who? Knock, knock. Who’s there? Banana. Banana who? Knock, knock. Who’s there? Banana. Banana who? The punchline is that just when…

So, Allbirds could see their stock delisted, but would it be all bad?
Allbirds, the sustainable shoe brand, is at risk of delisting. Essentially, the NASDAQ issued a formal warning to the company because its share prices have been under $1. (One of the standards that companies need to meet is that their shares need to be over $1.) If they are not able to meet that standard…

Purely for consistency
I have a busy day and no ideas, but I want to maintain consistency. There is no content beyond that. So, even if it is the bare minimum, I can say that I put in work. I’ll be back tomorrow with longer, legitimate content. What are the baby steps you can also take today to…

Rest
“Have you considered that you might be doing too much?” I was complaining of being tired. It was frustrating, and it didn’t make sense. I couldn’t focus on my work tasks because I was nodding off during the day. And I just couldn’t figure out when to get everything done. Apparently, instead of buckling down,…
