Are we are talking about helping creators earn a living without sacrificing creating freedom? Oh boy, that is something I know quite a lot about! Let me share how we built this infrastructure on Tumblr and how we run a marketplace on top of App Store👇

It just struck me how odd the term 'performance' is in the sense of doing well at something, particularly in a work context "you are a top performer" means the same as "you are putting on a good show" I wonder why we use language from acting in these otherwise 'serious' spaces

It's funny how some problems seem to be here entirely by design. How much better the experience would be if we named it "online communities" instead of "social media"?

I can either have a screaming baby or the office in the bedroom so we're trying something new - baby has her own room now. Which is.... My "office" :(

Of course the phones are banished from the bedroom, blue light is bad for you DUH

I would like to point out that Mr. Burns is arguably most successful entrepreneur in Springfield. He also is providing clean energy!

I can vouch for this now. I used this as icebreaker during a 20-person meeting and it has brought us closer together. It's magic. Also I need to step up my cheese game.

Ages ago my brother suggested at a family gathering that "What's your favourite cheese?" was the best opening question to ask someone new. None of us were 100% convinced until we realised we'd spent about half an hour after he said this talking about cheese.

And then look at your INBOX and LATER list weekly and reprioritize your TODOs. When you have confidence that you will get to everything eventually, you can embrace the context switching. But you need to ensure you will do important stuff eventually.

Minimum viable ADHD intervention is "GTD Lite" - Have ONE place (aka INBOX) to dump notes / what you work on. There has to be no decision involved so no tags etc - Write everything down religiously - Have 2 TODO lists: NOW and LATER.

If you struggle with ADHD and don't know how to tame it: - Give up immediately on fancy dashboards / all-encompassing workflows. You want the minimum viable intervention - Accept that you will context-switch and act accordingly

I published this all on my blog as well

Artur gets interviewed about his time management as Team Lead.

You should also read

Maker’s Schedule, Manager's schedule paulgraham.com/makersschedule.

I would advise postponing any “Managerial” tasks until you have 3 months of a roadmap designed. By then, you bought yourself enough time to focus on this “Team Lead” stuff.

In the beginning, decide with your direct manager what worthwhile things you will not spend time on. HR will proactively generate lists of stuff for you to do, but your first goal is to ensure the team has work to do and they are proceeding in a sensible direction.

But I dig into older posts when trying to design a roadmap/align direction. I find older posts more reliable than new ones. What’s the biggest piece of advice you’d give a brand new lead when it comes to managing and organizing their time?

I devote little time to “keeping in the loop” unless I get a ping. New information that gets published internally tends to change before the actual implementation, and by this time, I will get a ping about it.

1. Tend to any urgent fires 2. Ensure everybody has immediate stuff to do to maintain momentum 3. Figure out what may be surprising and impact our priorities, Prioritize figuring this out (Sort by Surprising piszek.com/2022/06/29/sor). 4. Maintain a backlog of tasks/projects

Sort by Surprising - Artur Piszek

When kicking off the project, the natural instinct of engineers is double down on what they know and purse that brilliant idea on how to deal with X. This is a mistake.

How do you know what information to pay attention to and what not to? How do you prioritize the information that comes at you? Your task is to tweak the Gannt chart continually. Here is what I do, in order:

For work stuff, I try to report bigger tasks in Github, as the code issues already live there. I recommend using the private-for-the-team repository explicitly for that purpose. But most of my tasks live in Logseq, which also has a built-in to-do system.

How do you keep track of everything you need to do? Do you use a task manager / To Do app at all? I am a big fan of GTD. Having a single list with all your commitments frees up the brain cycles from remembering all the “stuff” you have to do.

2. That doc gets automatically synced to my Logseq (notetaking app of choice) so that I can cross-reference with other note content. I described it a bit here.
