[GetMomentum] Prioritizing

Random Observation/Comment #429: I feel old when interns tell me they want to be like me when they grow up. I still haven’t grown up yet. Right? … Maybe? #usinghashtagstostayyoung Let’s say you’re like me and you love making task lists in the morning to know what to expect to get done by the end of the day.  Now what?...

Day 27: Connecting with Communities

Day 27: Connecting with Communities

Random Observation/Comment #314: Humans are social creatures.

Random Observation/Comment #221: 13-hour anything-rides are a pain in the ass – like literally, your ass may fall asleep and it may be painful.  Before the plane ride, I thought I had the best plan: Drink alcohol, get drunk, and fall asleep.  What I didn’t take into account was how quickly I get trashed while 15,000 ft in the air. ...
