  • Five useful questions

    They might be difficult to answer, but your project will benefit:

    What’s the hard part? Which part of your work, if it suddenly got much better, would have the biggest impact on the outcome you seek?

    How are you spending your time? If we took at look at your calendar, how much time is spent reacting or responding to incoming, how much is under your control, and how much is focused on the hard part?

    What do you need to know? What are the skills that you don’t have that would make your work more effective?

    What is the scary part? Which outcomes or interactions are you trying to avoid thinking about or interacting with? Why?

    Is it worth it? After looking at your four answers to these questions, you might have a better idea of what it will take for your project to reach its potential. Does the outcome of the project–for those you serve and for you–justify what it will take to get it there?

  • False equivalencies

    It’s a pointless form of argument.

    “This scientist made a careless error in their paper, therefore we need to excuse a con artist who falsified an entire career.”

    Or, “that restaurant served fish that got someone sick, therefore, there’s no reason for there to be a health inspection at my restaurant or any other one for that matter.”

    Or, “there was a typo in this book from a major publisher, so I’m not going to bother with an editor at all.”

    The open-minded respond by trying to defend the original error or the intent behind it. But that simply amplifies the false equivalency argument and leads to a no-standards race to the bottom.

    The false equivalency itself is the problem, not the unexpected error.

    Perfect is a trap.

  • The airline mile hoax

    First: If you’re a frequent flyer on American and haven’t flown in over a year, it’s possible your miles are going to expire very soon. You can fix this by “donating” 2,500 miles here.

    In the US, private lotteries are against the law. A lottery is a random drawing for a prize of value that you have to pay to participate in.

    That’s different from a game of skill, in which the best performance wins.

    Or a sweepstakes, which doesn’t cost anything to enter (which is why the rules so often say ‘no purchase necessary.’)

    The question is: Is it a random/lucky thing to be able to trade in your miles for the prize you were promised? I think it’s pretty clear that as the points economy has gotten into the billions, the answer is yes. There aren’t as many ‘free’ seats per miles as their used to be. The airlines benefit when they offer fewer and fewer seats as a percentage of available points floating around, because then people are pushed to either ignore their miles or settle for something less than they expected.

    Some people play with points as a hobby. For the rest of us, they’re worth way less than they appear. But mostly I wanted to remind you not to let yours expire. Thanks for staying safe by staying home.

    UPDATE: After I queued up this post, AA and UA extended their deadlines. I’m glad! The rest of my rant still persists.

  • Disenchantment

    It originally means, “no longer believing in magic.”

    Humans like magic. It gives us solace and energy and hope.

    In many ways, the rational era of science and engineering and evidence and proof eliminated any practical belief in magical forces. We know how and why the sun sets every night.

    But we still desire magic.

    Creating it for your customers and peers is a gift.
