Happy Monday 🌞

Last week was a fun milestone for me — I had my 8th anniversary of working at Buffer. (We call them Bufferversaries. 😊) That’s truly a long time with one company, so I spent some extra time reflecting ahead of this milestone on a question I get a lot “why have you stayed at Buffer so long?” It turns out, there are a lot of reasons. I get into all of them in this post on the Buffer blog and I’d love your thoughts if you read it.

One of the reasons I stay is because I keep being challenged and growing. Part of that is that I set career goals every year and they are largely based on the notes I take during performance review season.

Performance reviews are something I hadn’t done formally until I joined Buffer and they’re actually a really helpful check-in. The only problem is they can also take up a ton of time, especially if you are writing performance reviews for others, too.

So this week I’m sharing my super simple system for making performance reviews more efficient. Read about it here:

I hope you have a lovely week ahead. As always, feel free to reply if this sparks any thoughts or questions.

See you next week,

• We released MakeWorkWork episode 48! This one is all about keeping our intentions top of mind for the year including a system we both love — the daily notion journal.
• I’ve been intrigued by this idea Derek Sivers recently wrote about a walk and talk. He spent 7 days walking 100km (62 miles) as a group of a dozen people. A big commitment but it would be incredible to do this with a group of excellent conversationalists, which is what Derek recommends.
• I enjoyed reading the Doist CEO’s post on how they have a policy about hands-on leadership at Doist. In his words, “It works because smart people want competent leaders who deeply understand their work and can help them.”
