Thinking Backwards by Seth Godin
It’s the weekend (already)
When you enjoy your work, weekends come unexpectedly. They feel like a gift not like an escape. You look forward to another week. Sundays feel just like another Saturday.
That’s how it should feel, always. š
Working out of hours
Very good points raised in this blog post. I think that working out of hours is almost inevitable when you are really excited with something you’re working on. However creating a cultureĀ around thatĀ is unhealthy. In this article, I particularly like the point about not broadcasting it when you do so.
One of the causes [of working outside of office hours], as corny as it sounds, is people taking an interest and enjoyment in their field of work. Itās certainly true of myself and I daresay true of some others. I find it particularly hard to switch off and put down an interesting problem that Iāve been working on during the day. (…)
One simple solution is to just reduce the amount you broadcast while outside of office hours. By all means work, if you so wish, but donāt do anything that generates noise and makes other people aware of it.
Effective Creative Leadership, by Sarah B. Nelson
Great video on leading creative teams.
On listening…
āListening is not an automatic pilot. It is a conscious decisionā¦ STOP EVERYTHING YOUāRE THINKING and listen. Suspend your own frame of reference. Focus externally. Turn off your ego. Quit thinking everything revolves around your opinion. Give the stage in your head to someone else!ā ā Sunni Brown
I think it’s a constant exercise.
