I saw him coming—the guy with a clipboard and a name tag. He made eye contact before I even started to cross the street.
"Hey, you two like checks?" he said in an English accent as my wife and I stepped up the curb on Austin's S. Congress Street.
"Huh?" I thought to myself.
"No thanks," I said, just as I'd planned from when he'd made eye contact.
What a weird opening line, right?
Checks? What the heck?
Moments later, I caught a glimpse of our reflection in a shop window.

Elizabeth and I were Twinning.
Twinning is the accidental dressing or looking like your spouse, friends, family, or significant other.
Twinning is subconscious and unintentional.
Psychologists have proven that Twinning is more likely to occur the longer you're together. They call it "Couple Conformity."
(We're celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary this year, and yes, we find ourselves dressing alike all the time.)

The advice is counterintuitive. It's controversial, and it requires a deep understanding of how Twinning affects our thinking.
(BTW, if you have NOT recently started a new job or graduated from college, you may want to watch this video and then forward it to your latest teammate. I promise you'll thank me later.)
What's my simple advice?
