What Are You Not Good At?
- gaoshan 16y agoDealing with amorphously defined tasks. I run into planning issues, time management issues, etc. I find that defining what needs to be done as concretely and minutely as possible (within reason), does absolute wonders for my ability to manage tasks. It sometimes results in me needing to go over things many times (and risk looking the fool to someone who is not familiar with how I work) in order to clarify precisely what the expected outcome is but that is a small price to pay for super powered productivity.
- mrbogle 16y agoNetworking. I live in SF and go to tech events/parties, but I rarely feel like I'm getting the most out of them. Large events and events not focused on mingling (presentations, conferences) are tough for me to crack. I often don't meet anyone at those events. 'Getting the most out of them' being meeting interesting folks with whom I can work on side projects with or generally clicking professionally. So far my solution is putting in solid effort chatting people up at at least one small, focused event a week and attempting to chat folks up at a larger one once a month. I'm finding having a current side project is helping the conversations along.
