Hello M3, Post comments here to create online meetups 😀

I have been signed up to this weekly newsletter for the last couple months and I believe that the fantastic crew here might be interested in this. It is written by the author of Atomic Habits, James Clear and it highlights 3 ideas from him, 2 quotes from others and 1question for you to ponder. 3-2-1 Thursday newsletter - James Clear You may have already heard of it but if not I hope this comes in handy!

This is a post from Chris Sparling on X. Picture a neglected garden—left alone, it quickly turns into a tangle of weeds. In physics, that’s entropy: the natural drift from order to disorder without input. This applies to business too—without constant care, processes, teams, and customer relationships inevitably grow chaotic. How: • Inevitable decline without maintenance: Businesses are like gardens; without continuous care—streamlining processes, retraining, or adapting to changes—they become overgrown and inefficient. • Efficiency vs. disorder: Small startups may thrive like fresh saplings, but as they grow, entropy rises. Complexity increases, communication strains, and inefficiencies creep in, demanding constant pruning and attention. Why it matters: • Complacency leads to decay: Only those who “garden” with new energy, ideas, and processes stay competitive. • Explains bureaucracy: The larger and more complex a company, the more it has to work to combat entropy. • Investor insight: Look for companies actively fighting entropy—reinvesting in efficiency, leadership, and system improvements. Entropy’s lesson? Without intentional effort, even the best systems drift into chaos. Reference: https://x.com/_Sparling_/status/1852089097713783116
