I Don’t Know is the Best Answer

I’ve been running a number of interviews lately, and I’m amazed at how everyone has some type of answer to a question.

Now if only I didn’t get prompted 20 times a day by Authenticator, that would be progress.

Getting the Work Done

Work gets done when you sit down, put the timer on, put yourself into DND, and work the problem. We used to strive for focus time and the zone moment – now we don’t. But THAT was where all our work was getting done. So go back to it, find your ZONE moments, and get the work done that needs to get done.
