Not in real life. On my feed. Because for a while, I couldn’t stop scrolling TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts - and my algorithm kept serving me my daily hit of the domesticated apex predator. It was “just a few minutes”… until it wasn’t. I hate to admit how much of a problem it was becoming! So one day, my colleague Carla and I were talking about it (she wrote a whole piece about brain hacks for high performers - link in the comments). Her point landed hard: when work feels mentally expensive and the reward feels far away, your brain goes hunting for an easier payoff. And nothing pays faster than short-form video. So I stopped relying on willpower and changed the system: 1) Remove the easy reward during work Phone out of the room + shorts/apps blocked for 60–90 minutes + notifications off. 2) Replace it with progress Every morning I set 3 micro-goals so small they’re impossible to dodge. Finishing them creates momentum (and the craving drops fast). 3) Protect sleep No screens for the last hour before bed for a week. The next day became easier. That’s it. If you're on the same boat I was on, try this for a week and let me know how it goes.

“How do you build remote team trust?” Gamers: By not griefing the mission, Susan. 😭🎮 What did gaming teach you that school didn’t?

Stop treating your calendar like a scoreboard. I used to work at a "remote" company that was actually just a series of back-to-back meetings. We spent more time talking about work than actually doing it. Now, I view a clear calendar as a competitive advantage. Async communication at Crossover isn't about avoiding people, it's about: - Recording updates so others can watch at 2x speed. - Replacing "real-time" pressure with "thoughtful" action. Here's a challenge for you next week: Cancel one meeting and send a video update instead. Your team will thank you.

We’ve run an async-first global team for over a decade. The concerns we hear from the outside are almost always the same - and they are almost always wrong. Here are the 3 biggest myths about async work (and the reality): 1. "It kills collaboration." Reality: It actually deepens it. Collaboration becomes intentional, not reactive. In an async culture, documentation is inevitable - every process, tip, and best practice is written down. No "unwritten rules." 💡 The hidden bonus? When you integrate AI, that documentation becomes a goldmine for training your models. 2. "It’s slow and inefficient." Reality: It removes the #1 bottleneck: scheduling. Progress doesn’t stall while waiting for a calendar slot. We dodge the meaningless status calls. People work when they are most productive - driving more speed, not less. There is no “circling back.” We just move forward. 3. "Company culture suffers." Reality: Culture is how we treat time. Putting individual productivity first and respecting one another's focus IS culture. It’s not performative. It doesn’t need forced "fun committees." It’s embedded in how we execute every day. Async isn’t just a policy for us. It’s the foundation for how we hire the best talent globally and deliver our best work. What’s the biggest misconception you’ve heard about remote work? Let’s discuss. 👇

Some companies will do literally anything but just let people work.
