OK kids. Struggling to stay on top of various different feeds so I’m going in on Threads for a while. I’ll be there if you need me.

Might come back here at some point, we’ll see.

Should you buy an iPad Air or an iPad Mini?

Despite the size differences, there’s more in common than you’d think.

Watched this over the weekend. Utterly beautiful and heartwarming stuff. Hilarious and heartbreaking in equal measure.

🎉 It’s my birthday today! 🎈

And apparently, I’ve been making videos on YouTube for just over 4 years too.

Anyway — since it’s my birthday, you legally have to watch my latest video about awesome MacBook accessories.

Yes, that’s how birthdays work. I don’t make the rules.

I got fed up overly complicated productivity systems so, erm…I invented my own.

It’s simple, easy to apply and no-nonsense.

Featuring @craft.do (though it will work with most note-taking apps)

Had a full health check yesterday.

✅ to blood pressure
✅ to cholesterol
✅ to iron levels

The most surprising thing? I’m 2 inches shorter than I thought I was this whole time 😮

Anyhoo, I’m off to York Parkrun to try and see if it’ll make me any taller.

Finally got around to posting my thoughts on today's opening keynote from @danielhulme.bsky.social

It was truly mind-bending. He painted a vision of AI not just as a tool—but as a force that could reshape everything.

Love this quote!

@garycookson.bsky.social starting to wrap up talking about how hybrid working is the lens through which you can see what’s happening in the organisation.

Hybrid work reveals issues about your company culture in microscopic detail.

@garycookson.bsky.social talking about the importance of helping hybrid teams induct new team members. It’s about helping them feel that they belong and not look at the team from the outside.

“People need to know HOW TO WORK, not how to do their jobs.”

What tasks DO need to be done synchronously, and which ones can be adapted so that they can be done asynchronously? L&D can help figure this out, says @garycookson.bsky.social

We need to reboot leadership and management development, says @garycookson.bsky.social

We can’t assume that a manager who was good at managing people face-to-face, will be automatically fine managing in a remote setting.

They might be, but do we want to leave this to chance?!

@garycookson.bsky.social sharing a simple framework for helping businesses figure out where work needs to be apportioned in a hybrid environment #T5S4 #LT25uk
April 24, 2025 at 10:43 AM
Hybrid work tells people that you have to work in a fixed place at a fixed time.

We’re treating everyone the same when they’re not. Mandating onsite working isn’t the answer.

“Don’t count the days, make the days count.”

Yikes.

Research from January showing what people want from their the office is very different to what business who are trying to mandate a return to work are giving.

“The office was never the problem, getting TO the office is the problem.” - @garycookson.bsky.social

Some interesting context shared by @garycookson.bsky.social here.

ONS reported in Nov 2024- 40% of UK adults work hybrid or entirely from home.

But making hybrid work isn’t sexy- we only seem to hear about the negative stories in the press.

It’s @garycookson.bsky.social up and promising some light relief from all the AI chat.

I’m game.

What is hybrid work and why isn’t it working? Let’s find out.

I’m in #T5S4 #LT25uk to see @garycookson.bsky.social share more about why everyone should be back in the office 5 days a week.

Just kidding, it’s about making hybrid work. 😊
