If you’re coming to NextGen 2019, you want to spend that time w […]

Thanks for sharing these insights, Spencer! Time truly is precious and thinking about how we give it away/delegate things is key.

“When it comes to distractions, we all have our own particular Achilles’ heel—maybe it’s social media, maybe it’s gossiping with coworkers, maybe it’s Maybelline.” – This belongs in the lede hall of fame. Seriously though, thanks for this insightful piece about time management. I learned a lot about gauging my own productivity.

If you could wave a magic wand and transform one thing, what would it be? Some of us might change our Ford into a Ferrari or our cold cuts into caviar. But how many of us would think to transform government?

I see you with the “pipe dream.” Always forget the range of employment in the public sector. Looking forward to the next one of these.

Spencer Grady-Pawl commented on the post, Finding the Right Enabler to Reach Mission Milestones, on the site GovLoop 2 months, 2 weeks ago
“The technology in and of itself is not the goal,” — great quote from Bob Benstead — this is exactly the mindset that government (and the private sector) needs when considering new tech.

Great point from Shawn Riley about not applying technology arbitrarily — it’s important that tech support mission and not simply add cost.

I was talking to someone last night about this. Summer seems to be a great time for a midyear reflection and transformation, and the outdoors can anchor that.
Recommend this album on that subject for any southern hip hop fans- https://soundcloud.com/translee/freedom-summer-1
Great post, Spencer! I love tip #4 – spending some time with your colleagues out of the office is a great chance to strengthen your relationships and let off any mid-year steam, together. I’m hoping to see lots of folks at NextGen getting out of the office and reflecting on the reasons why they’re in public service.
I love summers – No more wearing heavy coats on the way to the office 🙂
and working out with kids is the ULTIMATE quality time to spend together.
