Episode 35 - Who decided Tuesdays couldn't feel like Fridays? · Thursday Think Bites

Prashanthi Nuthi: Hello friends, this week I have been working from home. For the first time in a while, I was not rushing. I prepared the good breakfast took my time walking the dog, cooked an exotic dinner for the family. ended the evening exactly the way we would on a Friday. Except it was not Friday, it was Tuesday. I don't know what was different, except that I allowed myself to do everything that I do on a Friday, As I think about that day, I'm reminded of the conversation with my CEO when we were launching an AI initiative. He said, we'll increase capacity without increasing the Because while they are being abused, growth and capacity happens with additional headcount. And suddenly someone challenges that basic assumption everyone else have already accepted. We make so many assumptions. I had already accepted that Fridays were the only days to slow down and have exotic food. That's when I realized transformations happen when someone challenges the basic assumptions everyone else have already. Both the transformations started by asking the simple question, what if the rule really isn't the rule? Here's the microboost for you today. What's that one rule you have been following lately? And ask yourself, who set that rule? Remember, small actions, big impact. Until we meet again next time, let's keep making impact together. Thank you.
