Conversation

I was surprised to see such a negative reaction to this exchange - but I think I see something pretty useful here, and it seems worth sharing while it is fresh - so at risk of further derailing my day... Why I said "No" to Roadmaps And why the right response was [[Yes and]]

I love you @roamhacker, but you’re absolutely wrong - right now. I’ll let you know when that changes. Sorry to have to disappoint.

Throughout my life, I've had a lot of people tell me that they think I should have different priorities, or do different tasks (Go to college, get a job etc) An important shifts in my life was realizing that it was almost never the right move to ARGUE with those folks However..

This feels... unnecessarily terminal? One useful thing I learned from an early good manager is “willingness to influence and be influenced” I like Amazon’s distinction between rare “one-way doors” and common “two-way doors.” Applying 2WD heuristics to 1WDs or vice versa.

I find it useful to think in terms of what *decisions*I will/will not open up for debate based on 1WD/2WD mental model, rather than what *people* I will/will not be influenced by. Full bozobitting of people you won’t ever be influenced by is a rare nuclear option for me.
