One thing I'm trying to do more of is rather than responding to opinion or teachable-moment type things with a statement, formulating a question which will open the possibility to (what I think is) the right answer, or will at least lead to good discussion.
I also think I might start messaging a random person at work every week to set up half an hour to an hour of "get to know you" time just to help me feel more connected with other people at Cherwell and hopefully to help them feel more connected as well.
I'm also currently reading Deep Work, so I'm going to completely overhaul my schedule so (a) I'm in control of it and (b) I have set-aside time for focused/deep work.
