Tech Friend: 18% Battery - Issue #5

By Sahil Parikh • Issue #5 • View online

Hi there,

Happy Diwali in advance!

Tuesday was the most productive day this week. I didn’t realise that my phone did not charge overnight and I started the workday with 18% battery. I immediately put my phone on low power mode and refrained from engaging in anything meaningless (social networks, WhatsApp etc.) during the day. The byproduct - focused, deep work :)

Enjoy the issue and have a great long weekend here in India!

PS - thanks for all those who wrote in last week with ideas to improve these issues.

Company culture isn’t a moment in time. It’s not something you write down. Culture is the by-product of consistent behavior. It’s what you do over time. Your current company culture is essentially a 50-day moving average of your actions.

Abstract Aerial Art

Superb aerial photography of planet earth - a must follow if you are on Instagram. Love their motto and their process (with a lot of research) of finding new locations to shoot - ‘The point is not to work out what it is, but to show how weird and wonderful the world can look from above’
