The Sunday Summary: Printed URLs, logos as reminders, and increased concentration

In an effort to help me keep up with everything I post each week, here is my latest “Sunday Summary” of my posts from the week.

Mon, December 30: Maybe someone is best defined by how they affect the people around them
The title is a fantastic quote from the show “Travelers” that I think is a great way to look at things.

Tue, December 31: The streaks from 2024
My general approach is to grow consistently rather than set goals, and here’s how that worked out for 2024.

Wed, January 1: A quick look at 2024
A recap of my year.

Thu, January 2: Printed URLs should never have extensions
If you’re going a print out a website address (or say it verbally on a podcast), it’s worth taking a few minutes to make it easier to digest.

Fri, January 3: A logo is a reminder of your brand
“If a brand is our mental shorthand for the promise that you make, then a logo is the Post-it reminder of that promise. Without a brand, a logo is meaningless.”

Sat, January 4: The ability to concentrate is improving
It doesn’t always feel like it, but the data is clear — humans are getting better at concentrating, not worse.

I hope you found some value in this. If you ever have questions, ideas, or disagreements regarding anything I write, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
