In an effort to help me keep up with everything I post each week, here is my latest “Sunday Summary” of my posts from the week.

Mon, June 24: Niagara Launcher for Android
I’m trying a new “launcher” for my phone and I really like it so far.

Tue, June 25: Who is the best listener you know?
I’d like to think it’s me, but I know it’s absolutely not.

Wed, June 26: Communicate one thing
Simplifying your message is always a great thing to do.

Thu, June 27: Sifting through the chaff and grain
I love this quote from Dinah Maria Craik: “Oh the comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are—chaff and grain together—certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.”

Fri, June 28: What is the desired outcome?
It’s very hard to know if you made the right move unless the desired outcome was clear before you started.

Sat, June 29: Central points versus name-calling
Paul Graham’s “hierarchy of disagreement” is a fascinating way to look at things.

I hope you found some value in this. If you ever have questions, ideas, or disagreements regarding anything I write, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
