Thoughts From My Office

Nicole Dieker

Jul 2, 2021

I have two thoughts to share with you this week:

For me, "rest" means getting to choose the speed of your own thoughts. This is why I rarely find TV or movies restful, and why conversations are often energizing, occasionally draining, and rarely relaxing. Looking at art is restful. Reading is restful. Walking, without music or podcasts, is restful. Being in nature, especially when you can be quiet in nature, is very restful.
I have no problem getting things done when I'm tired, as long as I already know what I'm supposed to be doing. (I can even parse BlooP, if I absolutely have to.) That said, I'm starting to believe that rest, as described above, is an essential part of generating original thoughts. Or creating something new.

Who should and shouldn’t get the Business Platinum Card from Amex

The Business Platinum Card from American Express is a top travel credit card and a top business credit card. Does this mean you should only get the Amex Business Platinum card if business travel is a significant part of your small business?
