I'm not actually sure how bifocals would work for me, because I don't spend much time looking down and reading.

Whereas I spend a lot of time looking down and reading, so it's time to give in and get them.

I love my bifocals. There isn't really a line other people can see, so my glasses just look like regular glasses. But I can do things like read, thread needles, and other close work so much more easily now. They did take some getting used to, though.

Leaning out? So...she'll need to focus on prioritizing, communicating, and maybe delegating?

Am I crazy, or is there no way to see the discussion here? [link]

I think you're supposed to click the link to listen to the interview rather than there being a transcript to read.
