Somehow I count meetings as … meetings and not work. More like pauses between productive work efforts.
Same with communication.
Only when I produce something tangible I feel that I’m working.
I know this is kind of silly but I feel like sitting in a meeting and getting paid is like cheating. Or replying to an email.
In no way I’m suggesting that time and attention are not valuable - it’s just that these activities feel trivially easy compared to the cognitive load of coding.
- watwut 5y agoWrite down notes from meeting for yourself and try to remember what was said - the tl;Dr. It will make you feel more like working. But also, I found that actually useful in the long term. I did that as experiment and then then some months later I found myself using all that stuff. Not everything was useful, but a good chunk of it was.
