Understanding and identifying an infinite game radically adjusts my goals and roles. Simon Sinek has recently reworked and broadened this dichotomy into organizational psychology in his book The Infinite Game. Both categories of game are worth playing, but the rules and outcomes are dramatically different.<\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/redirect\/df58ff69-fd16-4554-96a2-d0f651453609?j=eyJ1IjoiMXhmZzB6In0.4ieSFe4rvvESx3-YSOApdZUV-VKuM1Arc6QBuHWifaY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">JetStream Pens<\/a><\/strong>: There is no better smooth ballpoint pen.

Neighbors bring in broken and damaged appliances, clothes, and all sorts of stuff. We volunteers try to repair them in collaboration with the owner. This simple multi-bit screwdriver that I carry most days, allows access to the insides of so many household items\u2014despite different screw types\u2014allowing me to work to understand how the machine works and how to put it right. The puzzle-solving, in partnership with the owner, is really joyful.
