We use Slack to streamline our work and stay organized. Would we even have this podcast without Slack? It's hard to say. Even if you're not making a weekly podcast, Slack is where you can bring together all your tools, teams, partners and customers into a single digital space. There's so much you can do within your own digital HQ. Head to Slack.com forward slash D HQ today to get started.
Where do our systems for organization and prioritization come from? How do we build discipline around new workflows? When and how do we learn how to work? And what happens when our systems have to gel with others’?
Answers to these questions vary from person to person—and they should. Because when it comes to managing our time and tasks, it’s worth challenging “best” practices.
In this episode of Brave New Work, Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans unpack their own relationships to productivity and productivity culture, exploring:
- What people-positive and complexity-conscious workflows can look like
- The difference between work that’s important and work that’s urgent
- Why tools should fit the shape of your work and not the other way around
- The connection between the techniques you use and the tensions you feel
- The big costs that come with having too much work in progress
- Why thinking about what you do and how you do it is a critical use of your time
