Winning at Work

Dear friends,

I purposely wrote down whatever first came to my mind, and I never revised it. If there were two wins I was thinking about at the end of the week, I wrote down both, so I ended the year with 58 sticky notes on my wall.

I don’t think we can fill the gap, but positive actions still matter.
