Lessons from the browser tabs
I just closed more than 40 browser tabs between 2 computers. I remember what some of them were and I’m really sad that I didn’t read them. Others, I’m sure I’d be seriously disappointed that I didn’t read if I could remember what they were. And I have no links to share with you today. [...]
