Burnout is tricky because it can creep up on us when we least expect it. If I had seen my, or my previous executive’s, burnout coming–and understood its consequences–I would’ve tried to prevent it. Instead, it took him getting fired and me getting stuck in the middle of my career glacier for me to realize how unhealthy I was.

Everyone wants to be more productive , but the typical advice for focusing and getting things done isn’t realistic.

A smartphone, no matter how addictive, equals opportunity.

In the climb from contributor to leader, the rules quietly change. If you’re aiming for the summit, the air gets thinner—and what got you here won’t be enough to get you to the top (a concept first popularized by Marshall Goldsmith in his book What Got You Here Won’t Get You There ). What made you successful early in your finance career—technical accuracy, sharp analysis, flawless execution—won’t be what carries you to the next level.

If we consider the websites that we browse, usually most of our attention is directed at the same few websites. This is where cache comes in handy, as it prevents us from having to load up the entire web page from scratch each time, despite the fact that much of it is the same every time. Cache is like temporary storage on our Mac, where it will remember images (i.e. the banner of the web page), HTMK, CSS, and JavaScript.
