Visual Indicators for No-Disturb โ€” Physical cues can be lifesavers when you're in a deep focus state. A simple 'Do Not Disturb' sign can protect your flow and signal to others to give you space. ๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿ”‡

A recurring theme I keep hearing on the news from good intentioned people: โ€œI left the X because theyโ€™re just not set or willing to Y which would allow them better do their job.โ€ Where X is a govt dept and Y is using technology. Whether itโ€™s regulating banks, big pharma, or rail roads. This is why we canโ€™t have nice things.

Are you looking for a new job? Maybe you actually worked for Twitter the last 4 years? Maybe your title was exactly what you want your next title to be. Disproving that might be difficult.

From Groupware to Web 2.0 / Enterprise 2.0 to then Groupware 2.0 (= Chatting & Messaging Apps). All of that over the course of roughly 3 short decades.

Fast forward another decade to 2022/23 and Musk may have provoked, unintentionally, the 4th technology lifecycle shift: Open, Decentralised, Distributed .

Will it blend this time around? ๐Ÿค”

I know commuting to the office has never been a very popular topic, but, my goodness!, I surely love my own. Nearly 19 years, and still loving it! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿค™๐Ÿป

If your computer was processing photogrammetry stuff while you're out skiing, that's a work day right?

Speaking of lists, I thought I would share a tip to reduce email and make good use of colleague's time.

A former CEO taught all his direct reports this technique and it was so effective that we broadly adopted it as a team.

๐ŸŸจ The Yellow List

Maintain a list of topics you need to discuss with someone else. When you think of a topic or question you need to ask, instead of quickly sending an email or a slack, put it on the yellow list.

Then in your next scheduled meeting you have a list of things to discuss. It allows you to provide context and get more nuanced answers.

If the list gets long and there isn't a meeting scheduled, then that is a trigger to set up a meeting.

Obviously this isn't for critical messages but 90% of what we need to ask/discuss isn't an immediate need.

A few tips to make your Yellow List successful:

  • Capture context. Where did this item stem from? If you jot down 3 words and then don't see it for 4 days you may not remember key details/context.
  • Maintain a yellow list for your manager and peers. I happen to use one list in Todoist and tag it "for_Person, for_Team"
  • Capture quickly but make time to edit. I review my list almost daily and I try to revise my question or idea as if it was a mini-agenda or proposal. It forces me to clarify my thoughts and present a more succinct statement to the audience.

TL;DR - Keep a list of things to discuss and don't just default to email/slack every time.

Me: Team watch out for that corporate test email that just came out.

Engineer: Oh I wrote a script that checks headers for 'knowbe4', automatically reports it, and deletes the message.

This is so useful, a privacy-friendly website with tons of free tools to work with PDFs, images, and videos.

Free and helpful tools, no drawbacks normally associated with... "free tools"...
