These cannabis gummies keep selling out in 2024

If you've ever struggled to enjoy cannabis due to the harshness of smoking or vaping, you're not alone. That’s why these new cannabis gummies caught our eye.

Mood is an online dispensary that has invented a “joint within a gummy” that’s extremely potent yet federally-legal. Their gummies are formulated to tap into the human body’s endocannabinoid system.

Although this system was discovered in the 1990’s, farmers and scientists at Mood were among the first to figure out how to tap into it with cannabis gummies. Just 1 of their rapid onset THC gummies can get you feeling right within 5 minutes!

The Paradox of Overachievement: Why Do We Hate Overachievers?

Overachievers often become the targets of frustration in the workplace, despite their hard work, passion, and remarkable results. They bring innovation and productivity but can disrupt the team's dynamics. So, why do organizations, leaders, and colleagues find them so challenging?

  • Overachievers Think and Act Differently
    Overachievers are wired to think outside the box, take unique approaches, and challenge the norm. This different way of thinking can make others feel uncomfortable, highlighting their own weaknesses or insecurities.

  • Overachievers Don’t Equate Hard Work with Time
    Overachievers often find more efficient ways to accomplish tasks. Like John Travolta's character in Phenomenon, they excel with less effort, leading to resentment among those who equate longer hours with productivity.

  • Overachievers Seek Unique Rewards
    They expect recognition tailored to their achievements, like flexible schedules or special perks, believing they deserve different treatment because they deliver superior results. This demand for special treatment can create friction with colleagues and managers.

  • Overachievers Are Prone to Burnout
    Driven by competitiveness and a desire to excel, overachievers can quickly burn out. Organizations must manage them carefully to balance their passion and prevent disengagement.

  • Leadership Misunderstands Overachievers
    Leaders often struggle to manage overachievers effectively, seeing them as challenging or uncooperative. This misunderstanding can fuel negative emotions among team members and undermine team cohesion.

Summary and Conclusions
Overachievers can be a significant asset, but only if managed well. Leaders must understand their unique needs, provide tailored opportunities, and guide them with mentorship and structure. Balancing recognition and humility is key to keeping overachievers engaged and contributing positively, ultimately strengthening the organization.

Office Space Planning: Complete Guide For Modern Organizations

Office space planning is about more than just arranging desks and chairs. It's about creating an environment that boosts productivity, enhances collaboration, reflects your brand, and adapts to the changing needs of your workforce. Here's how you can design an office space that meets these goals.

How to Do It

1. Assess Your Space

Start by evaluating your current office layout, including physical dimensions, traffic flow, natural light, and infrastructure. Use office space planning software for real-time analytics to optimize space utilization and identify underutilized areas.

2. Engage Employees

Involve your employees in the planning process through surveys, focus groups, or a representative committee. Gather feedback on current pain points and preferences to create a design that supports productivity and well-being.

3.  Use the Right Tools

Leverage modern design software to create detailed floor plans and visualize layouts in 3D. This helps optimize space, ensure compliance with regulations, and identify potential issues early in the planning process.

4. Document Your Space Plan

Develop a comprehensive space plan, including floor plans, furniture layouts, electrical and network diagrams, and other specifications. Use this document to guide implementation and communicate clearly with stakeholders.

5. Optimize for Technology

Ensure your space plan supports current and future tech needs, including power outlets, high-speed internet, and collaborative tools like video conferencing systems. Consider tools for efficient desk booking and managing IT infrastructure.

6. Monitor and Iterate

After implementation, monitor the space’s effectiveness by tracking employee satisfaction, productivity, and space utilization. Gather feedback and be ready to make adjustments as needed to ensure the office remains functional and adaptable.

7. Get a Good Coffee Machine

Sometimes, the simplest amenities can make the biggest difference in employee satisfaction. A good coffee machine is a must for any modern office!
