Because it worked for me in the earlier stages of the pandemic (at home with kids during the day, call in to meetings when possible, try to catch up at night) - I've posed this suggestion to the teachers in my family who are freaking out about the new school year:
"Have you considered just doing a bad job?"
- muttled 6y agoI know you're saying this with a bit of jest in it, but it's a great point and there's a lot of value to asking "have you considered lowering your expectations for how this is going to go, given the situation at hand?"
- sitkack 6y agoI meant to say this much earlier, but this is the best place to leave his comment. It comes down to tolerancing and doing the right amount of anything to get a goal and not much more. And even then, sometimes a 10% effort job is good enough. Systems should be efficient and degrade gracefully. Doing a shitty job is part of that resilience.
