Every Tuesday at 7 AM. 5-7 minutes read.
Because business newsletters are so boring.
And because we are all tired of:
📨 Meetings that should’ve been emails
⚙️ Processes that make no sense
🔢 Metrics that measure nothing
🫵🏼 Leaders who blame people instead of fixing systems
🛠️ “Promising” tools that don’t make our life easier
⌛ Doing things last minute because there is no time
➕ Etcetera…
And when you finally have a break, the following week feels harder. Like it’s coming to collect that break time.
What if the problem isn’t you?
What if the problem isn’t your team either?
What if it’s the system?

Every issue ends with hope (backed by data).
