Did you know that a staggering 75% of Brits continue to feel engaged with work activity whilst on holiday, with 25% responding to emails whilst on annual leave (https://lnkd.in/gFpHa6zh)? Following a recent holiday to Iceland, I remembered this clever campaign from Visit Iceland a couple of years ago which is all about reminding people of the importance of ✨actually✨ taking time away from work. “Outhorse Your Email” allows you to pick one of three Icelandic horses to write an out-of-office email for you whilst you are away, creating a memorable and humorous message for anyone trying to get in contact with you. For this, three Icelandic horses were trained to walk on custom-designed giant computer keyboards with promotion images of the campaign shot in iconic Icelandic landmarks 🐴 The output from the horses may not be totally comprehensible, but the full out-of-office response includes a few lines explaining the campaign as well as the important info like your return to work date. Overall Outhorse Your Email really highlights that some of the best PR campaigns tackle real issues in a way that makes you smile... https://lnkd.in/ghnmPCjp

Today is the big, eagerly awaited moment of the year that will surely revolutionize our desk lives - Desk Cleaning Day! 🌟 Of course, we don't usually celebrate holidays like this. Still, any reason to celebrate is a good reason, right? 😉 😉 😉   We've come up with some fun ways to celebrate:  🖊️Pen races: See which pen is the fastest! Get your pens ready, and then... here we go! 🗑️The Paper throwing tournament: A well-known and appreciated discipline where precision and accuracy count.

Our family prioritized some adventures over our recent holiday break… but we paid the price. Maggie, our 4 year old, cried out to me on our trip home form southwest Colorado: “Dad, you keep making me try new things, stop doing that to me!” I had asked her if she wanted pancakes or a burrito from McDonald’s for breakfast… 😅 In that moment though, I realized we had been redlining our little family. Our daughters had done a lot of new things over the last 12 days: - Christmas-lighted zoo trip - Sledding - 2 horse open sleigh ride - Ice skating On top of... - 12 days away from home. - Extensive time with 6 cousins, 4 grandparents, 3 aunts, and 2 uncles. - About 30 hours in the car. - No naps, late bedtimes, unlimited snacks, inconsistent meals. - Loads of screen time. You get the idea… We were all over it. Ready to be done with our adventures and return to our 'boring' lives at home. A few good lessons for me to remember for myself and for our family as we plan our adventures: 1. We’re not always sure what we’ll find when we push our limits. 2. There is usually fun to be had, but it will come at a cost. 3. Our ‘boring’ life at home is essential to both our preparation and recovery for our fun, family adventures. Here’s to more boring and more adventure in 2024 🎉

Week 3 of Joy Runs. Finding my groove. Extreme product-market fit is said to have 3 components: 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱, 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆. Efficiency is the least sexy so it often gets overlooked. However, if you don't build it in from the start your business or side-project ends up consuming more hours and money than it should. We've all been there! That's why I've made it my mission for Joy Runs to stay simple and run off 4 desk hours and $10 per week. So, how's it going? I'm currently at 5 hours. Here's the breakdown: • Weekly newsletter: 20 minutes (via Beehiiv) • Article publishing: 40 minutes (via Elementor editor) • Content creation: 3 hours (via Elementor editor, Canva, Semrush's free tools & user-generated content) • Social media mgt: 1 hour • Everything else: Automated   Wherever possible everything is working off repeatable formats or automated, although I do get a lot of joy from interacting with the (still small) community and writing up my own experiences of each running theme. I'll do another round-up of costs soon, but all in all Joy Runs is running on $50 per month, including the initial website development and ongoing hosting via Elementor. To paraphrase Peter White, ruthless simplicity doesn't just make a product easier to build and manage, it also makes it more irresistible and lovable to users.

During the week of July 15-19, I attended the Outward Bound Climbing Program. In this program, I learned how to carve a bowl using coal embers, worked as a team to complete team games and made pancakes as a team and learned from our mistakes (burnt pancakes). Additionally, I camped overnight at Rattlesnake point and participated in a once in a lifetime chance to do - cliff climbing! Finally, on the last day, I learned how to set up and take down a slack line obstacle course and zipline. ✨ Even though there were many ups and downs in the way - for example the flood that destroyed the headquarters and the gear needed for camping, we managed to find different ways to have fun! 😎 During this camp, I learned three main skills - teamwork, communication and self-etticacy.
