I know that when I follow these steps I never produce anything.
I find that soft deadlines and breaking my work into pieces at least gives me some idea on how long something might take and when to start making compromises.
Just because estimates aren't 100% accurate doesn't mean they're 0% useful.
- pdimitar 10y agoI agree, but this only applies to a certain group of people -- to which you obviously belong. I used to need supervision. I used to distract myself with all sorts of idiocies when given freedom and time. I felt better when given some clarity and a grander scheme, and pointed at where do I belong in it. I changed this by a very rigorous self-disciplining process over the years. Now I realize requirements and the bigger picture before the product owners, most of the time anyway. Nowadays, if you leave me alone to work in peace and do ZERO pokes in my general direction, you'll find that I can often times solve a week-long task in 2-3 days. Conversely, if you pester me several times a day, I might take 2-3 weeks. It honestly depends on the individual. The manager has to be a good psychologist and find the proper ways of communicating with every single team member.
