Signs you’re running hot: You buy candles at a holiday market, and the seller immediately offers you a job for next season. 😆

New post: Cruel Efficiency Navigating the fine line between hyper-productivity and over-reliance on AI If dopamine hits from external validation were the drug of the social media era, is hyper-efficiency and relentless task completion becoming the addictive drug of the AI age? https://paragraph.xyz/@bethanycrystal/cruel-efficiency

Conversations with my 4-year-old: Her: How come I can hear you even when you wear those? Me: My headphones? Yeah Well, how it works is, the headphones connect to my phone, the phone connects to the internet & the internet transmits my voice to the person on the other end Mama? Yeah? Look! I don’t have pants on!

Confession time: I was in marching band (and think it taught me many important lifelong lessons in leadership and collaboration) This weekend I attended my 15-year reunion at Northwestern University and wrote about why I think marching bands matter more than ever... and how other organizations, workplaces, and communities might thinking about introducing the idea of a "homecoming" https://paragraph.xyz/@bethanycrystal/why-the-world-needs-more-marching-bands

If you are ever killing time in Chicago on a weekday I highly recommend wandering the merchandise mart for an hour and getting inspired

Ok hear me out…we KIND of love getting roasted?? Like how I got Glif to roast me on my jumpy resume… But maybe we could turn this into a learning experience? You know, get the AI to say the things that no human would dare to tell you…then make THAT the teachable moment where humans step in. More fun thoughts and real-life roasts at… https://paragraph.xyz/@bethanycrystal/the-punch-and-power-of-a-savage-roast

New post: Building community, not clutter let’s be real, sometimes digital channels get in the way of IRL progress (Anyone who has ever been on an old school email listserve knows what I’m talking about here….) Can the promise and potential of AI (maybe? Finally…?) help offload the work of community builders so we can use technology as the glue and let us spend our time where it counts? I don’t know but I am very keen to find out. https://paragraph.xyz/@bethanycrystal/building-community,-not-clutter

New post: The New Attention Economy This one goes out to all the ambitious working mamas out there... Also warning that this might bring you RIGHT INTO YOUR OWN KITCHEN so apologies in advance if reading this spikes your own anxiety 😆 But I do think it's important to capture the real-time feeling of trying to multitask on work and kids. So here you go: https://paragraph.xyz/@bethanycrystal/the-new-attention-economy
