You anyway have shitty systems

You know you need a system, don't you?

Let’s be honest — if you don’t have a system, you anyway have to do your work in broken ways. Otherwise, no work would happen.

For example, instead of having a proper system for updates, you might be taking hour long catchup meets with your team just to find out who is doing what.

If you have no other way of getting updates, you will also feel very stuck doing this everyday. Ditto for everything else you do. Many people have shared how painful this becomes.

Now, what if you created a system that you and your team agree together on? Even if it’s simple paper chits you guys pass along like you were in school, how does it matter‽

The only question is — are you making it easy for yourself or not?
