Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg were asked whether social media is "addictive" by Senator Lindsey Graham today. Their answers were both correct but will also be widely misconstrued and misunderstood. Social media, like any other analgesic, is potentially addictive, but only to a small portion of the population, as is the case with alcohol and compulsive gambling. Addiction is more complex than just the product being abused and requires smart legislation to help people struggling with the pathology of addiction. Addiction is not the same thing as distraction. We need "use and abuse" policies to identify and help people suffering from addiction while leaving moderate users alone. https://lnkd.in/dsDBAmM https://lnkd.in/dKywX-n #socialmedia #indistractable #productdesign #mentalhealth …see more

It's been a gnarly day and mentally you're running on empty, right? Not quite. New research suggests how you think about willpower could be preventing you from doing your best work. Do you realize that you are in this rut but can't seem to find the willpower to overcome it? You're definitely not alone in this situation. This is called ego-depletion. Ego-depletion is a theory that willpower is connected to a limited reserve of mental energy, and once you run out of that energy, you're more likely to lose self-control. This theory would seem to explain your post-work defeat. But new studies suggest that we've been thinking about willpower all wrong and the theory of ego-depletion isn't true. Even worse, holding on to the idea that willpower is a limited resource can actually be bad for you, making you more likely to lose control and act against your better judgment. Much like motivation, perceiving willpower through an old, inaccurate lens can cause us to approach our goals in the wrong way. Check out my latest article on Inc. Magazine about willpower at the link in the comments! In it, I share insights about “The Real Nature of Willpower” and a new decision-making tool. #Indistractable #Willpower #Temperament #HumanBehavior #DecisionMaking …see more

Portugal decriminalized opiates in 2001; if you are caught with 10 days or less supply they simply take your drugs away and you are referred to a doctor, counselor and social worker for treatment. Both the overdose rates and usage rates dropped.

New York, Singapore, London, Berlin, Indiana, Nairobi... these are the places where we hosted SoGal Foundation Global Pitch Competition in the past week alone!! Mind blowing to see them happen and witness two cities in person! I’m so excited to showcase the diversity of companies these minority founders are building, and put women and diverse investors on the judging panel. To move the needle we have to have women on both sides of the table. This is our time! Thank you team and our global sponsors PayPal, Draper University and Divvy, for making the dream happen on a massive scale! #sogalboss #femalefounder #venturecapital Elizabeth Galbut Kelley Henry Kelly An (KVP) Kay Van-Petersen Nicole Ong …see more

Those amazing business and thought leaders we all admire aren’t perfect, nor do they try to be. In fact, eschewing perfection in favor of #career progress might be the secret to their success. Here’s how to follow their lead: 1. Acknowledge that perfectionism is all about fear When you tell yourself circumstances need to be perfect before you take action, or you’ll do X when Y happens, you give up your power to external forces you can’t control. This behavior is rooted in fear, a powerful emotion that keeps us from doing things that may cause us harm. But sometimes, the real damage comes from the inaction that fear enables. 2. Reframe failure as an opportunity to learn To achieve professional development, you must take risks—even if that means you might fail. By reframing failure as an opportunity to learn, you’ll adjust your mindset to one where you see failure as a necessity. 3. Just do it One surefire way to combat perfectionism—and grow your career—is to take action. Newton’s first law of motion states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion. The same is true for your career. If you want something you’ve never had, you have to do something you’ve never done. How do YOU make career progress? #leadership …see more

Laying dormant in the humble, tiny popcorn kernel is enormous potential, an expansive, expressive presence hidden by a thin protective shell, eager to see the light of day. It can survive for years in its quiet state until one fateful day when it meets an environment that reaches deep into its soul and stirs it from within, and it has no choice but to burst forth and show its true self. Sometimes all it takes is a small shift to create the biggest transformations.💥 #transformation #change #growth #progress …see more

To tip or not to tip? I’m in USA and I feel like I walked into a unknown social zone... Do I tip for a coffee? Is it normal for an Uber driver to ask for a tip within the first 1 minute of driving to my destination? What’s the tipping etiquette? [edit] I copied framework for tipping to share for others who plan to visit USA From KRISTIN A. SHERRY Tipping in the U.S.: NO tip: fast food restaurants like Wendy's, McDonald's, etc Tip is customary: Sit down restaurants, nail salons, pizza delivery Optional tip: Hotel chambermaid, Uber/Lyft, ice cream shop, coffee shop Note: I always tip all service people because their pay is shyte. Except places where they aren't allowed to take them. #stringtheory on #life …see more

LinkedIn Stories is out. Still, how can one avoid being boring? Do you hold rigid to our "professional mask"? Or do we show what we are super passionate about? Even if this is a platform about work... It doesn't mean we let go of what makes us unique or human. Here are my quick thoughts on #LinkedInStories so far. Thanks, Dustin Laidsaar for sharing your first 5 stories (I've added your video this article/newsletter). I'm releasing a longer video of my first impressions of LinkedIn Stories on YouTube next week. Sharing the interface and user experience. So, Tune in for that. #stringtheory on #personalbranding #LinkedInStories …see more
