My favorite Kahneman quote about why you can't have an exclusive focus on the long term: "Because the long term is not where life is lived."
7 years ago, I tried something I had never done before. I did a ten-minute spoken word poem on #mentalhealth and the struggle that we face inside our heads every day. It's since been seen over 1.4 million times. If you haven't seen it, hope you enjoy. rfr.bz/t6sddxi
I know, classic case of 'now that I need something' I start posting here 😢. I'll be better! But... I am looking for a new UX Research role! I'd love any leads or introductions. With that, allow me to reintroduce myself... The coffee chat (human) bio mikeflynn.io/about
"The hallmark of a seasoned UX professional is knowing how to choose and pick from our overflowing toolbox of UX methods and custom-make a design process for each project that doesn’t waste shareholders’ money but gets the job done. 'Twas ever thus." - jakobnielsenphd.substack.com/p/ux-angst-of-…
Some musical gratitude for all the healthcare workers who do the impossible every day. Simple Gifts, #songsofcomfort
Wishing you all a happy 2022.
It’s a process to stay focused—and always helpful to have reminders from @behaviorgap (but especially excited to have this physical reminder on my wall now)!!
"You have to make sure that information is flowing in a way so that you become a trusted resource wherever you go." - @dollarsanddata

I think about this idea from David Bowie approximately 13 times per day. This quote inspires, intimidates, and motivates me, and I feel like 99% of the things I create are while both feet are too firmly planted on the ground. Trying to change that.
“The Flynn Forum” in Norwood is up and running in the backyard — enjoying with Norwood’s own @cibrewing (and my kids)!
An example of turning a problem into an opportunity: the "mystery" flavor of dum dum lollipops was the result of a workaround. Stopping & cleaning the machines between each of 16 flavors costs time & 💰. Instead, they run continuously & call mixed flavors between batches mystery!
“At times like this, we can either be a thermometer or a thermostat. A thermometer measures temperature & is reactive. A thermostat sets the temperature & is proactive. Thermostats impact how people feel & behave." Dr Krystina Woods in @nytimes
Focusing on taking action vs. talking about action: "Career acceleration isn’t rocket science. It’s just about making the extra effort to do things that others typically won’t." bit.ly/3bWEVRq
Focus on the fundamentals: "Are the customers who you think they are? Do they have the problems you think they have? How do they solve that problem today? What would it take to get them to switch?" @cagan svpg.com/coaching-tools…
"...being a pro means repeatedly doing the things that are right to do but aren’t fun and glamorous. It’s delivering on your responsibilities, even if they seem tangential to delivering near-term, self serving outcomes." @robgo @NextViewVC nextviewventures.com/blog/what-it-m…
My daughter and her friend (working the clock for the boys games at the Norwood Basketball Jamboree after playing their own games yesterday) were inspired by meeting Coach... “doing the little things” for team (and community) @celtics @NBA #bradstevens
It always helps to get additional perspective (and practical tips) on informing decision making on product, service, & business strategy — especially from @davidjbland @AlexOsterwalder @strategyzer

An important perspective on life and living:
An American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it…

Was leaving to go the HubSpot office for meetings and my son told me I was "drippin". I don't generally leave the house and he's not used to seeing me in anything other than pajamas. Better yet, my wife joked that I had rizz (word of the year!) and grabbed a photo of me…
