- I am on my first ever sabbatical (I kept pushing my first back for service related reasons & I have no regrets but it got pushed back so far that I'm now one year past when I could have taken my second sabbatical). I have written more in the past 6 weeks than I have in the prior two years. 😁
- Reposted by Michael J. BernsteinShould you text or meet face-to-face to have a conversation? Our research shows greater benefits when talking in-person. If it is necessary to text, have more intimate conversation when possible. New paper lead by @cmleckfor.bsky.social is out in @josoperrel.bsky.social now: doi.org/10.1177/0265...
