Managing Up

In an episode recorded in "the before times" that we feel is still relevant, Nick suggested we talk about what to do when you can't do it all. Nick, Brandon, and Travis discuss how the game of "Calendar Jenga" is symptomatic. What happens when your calendar is so full of "valuable" things that you have to choose between lunch or more meetings? Nick talks about using WIP limits to keep your calendar clean, and Travis talks about how designing your schedule is like designing teams.Notes:@catehstn tweet:https://twitter.com/catehstn/status/1231685231909974018Your calendar is a trash firehttps://speakerdeck.com/tehviking/the-new-managers-toolkit?slide=62Time blockinghttps://blog.rescuetime.com/time-blocking-101/Time Management Matrixhttps://facilethings.com/blog/en/time-management-matrix
