For reasons that don't matter, I've had to live with a 25-yo since summer that has ADHD and anxiety diagnosed by a therapist. Two main issues I see in her behavior: - She changed therapist twice until she heard what she was looking for. She said she was looking for a compatible "therapist". - The fact that she was diagnosed was a relief to her because now she can just offload any responsibility. Forgot to do something? It's normal, that's my ADHD. Not in the mood to go and work tomorrow? that's my anxiety kicking-in.

There's just no hardship anymore and her life is not even that stressful. It's just easy to come with that and give excuses.

The issue is: I want to be sympathetic to her condition and help, but it's really hard to don't sound like I'm judging. I can't just challenge a behavior because she is already doing the best she can. It's like there's an invisible ceiling.

PS: I'm only 12 years older than her.

yes, the hands show the normal hour corresponding to the wrong number: at 9 o'clock, the hours pointer will be in it's correct place, pointing to a 3.

He would actually be working against his interest: he has been seen wearing multiple Swiss watches - Patek's, Rolex, Vacheron, etc,

agree with your comment, but to be honest, I'm not sure there's any Swatch I would wear: which model would you choose if you wanted to dress business casual?

Ok, I can give you a Skin Irony, but then you would be paying +200 for a Quartz, why not buy an Orient Bambino or a Hamilton Khaki? much better bang for the buck.

Not to mention the clicking noise of a Swatch quartz. In silence, it drives me nuts.

The most understated watch they make is the Swatch Pay!. Super useful, never fails.

taste is subjective. Are you sure you know what you're looking for?

no, it's a regular quartz movement.

On the efforts to guide people, I added small things like this to the rules of engagement. But there's just so many more things to frame in the context of team management that this becomes just a foot note.

What really harms productivity is lack of leadership, vision and organization. I try to avoid micromanaging this sort of thing.

Being a manager is not benefiting from other people's work, is to try my best to eliminate barriers so they can do their best work. That includes making them comfortable in the work environment. When you reach a point where you work with many people from different backgrounds, you really have to learn to adapt to people and accommodate to their ways of working.

If that means that I don't get triggered when they leave me a "hi" and never come back, that's fine by me.

This is not the first time I see this here and to be honest, I was in total agreement a few years ago. In principle, I still am.

Then I became a manager, I had to start dealing with more people, to navigate the enterprise environment and I understood that one of my strengths is to be understand people and to accommodate their ways of working. In this context, being hard with people that just say hello just doesn't make much sense to me anymore. People have busy schedules, they start conversations and are interrupted, they receive hundreds of notifications and have other meetings going on.

If the worst they do to me is to say hello and never talk to me again, I'm ok with accommodating this in my daily workflow.

As someone who worked closely to the Omega / Swisstiming operations at the Olympics, this is super cool stuff. Congratulations to all involved in being able to deliver when it mattered.

The team also makes really interesting stuff on other sports, such as Beach Volley. Worth checking how it's done.

Have you seen the Tissot connect? Latest version is pretty good

I will keep on working on my Cybersecurity newsletter [1] and expand it to more things Cyber with the inclusion of adjacent tools i.e. data breaches list, privacy guides, maybe job board.

A rebrand is also likely on the way, as the concept has proven to work.
