What are you proud of this week?

 

Aaand we made it to the weekend. Maybe it's the five-day week after the four-day week, or maybe it's just the fall. Either way, this felt like a packed one.

 

So, when you look back, what are you proud of? Around the Technical.ly newsroom, we've taken to asking this question to close out the week. I personally enjoy the chance to take a minute and think about what I accomplished, and hear about the great work of others. So, count this as a recommendation and a free tip. 

 

What's your end-of-week team ritual? Tell us atbaltimore@technical.ly.
