Often there is a bell shaped curve where productivity peeks at a point and bigger efforts after that make you actually less productive overall.
In my personal experience most projects are a marathon not a sprint.
Always sleep the 8-9 hours necessary to feel full-rested.
I'm most productive in the morning so I try to work every day during mornings but since in the afternoon I'm a lot less productive I've decided I can allocate that time to entertainment and social activities.
My entertainment and social activity tend also to be along learning new things.
- BLKNSLVR 10mo agoRegular morning stand-ups really fuck my morning momentum. I'm getting my shit done, then I gotta stop and listen to a whole bunch of crap that I either already know or doesn't affect me at all. Sometimes, in fact often, the level of momentum I had before the meeting is never reached again the rest of day. All meetings should be post lunch. All meetings I organize are post lunch.
- venturecruelty 10mo agoWelcome to Standup! Choose your opponent! - Guy who spends 20 of the 15 minutes being way too detailed about his work. - Two guys who argue back and forth about technical minutiae that doesn't affect you. - Your manager who lets two guys argue back and forth about technical minutiae that doesn't affect you. - Your manager asking if you have any blockers. - A PM asking you how many points you have left on a ticket. (The boss battle is just this, but stretched over an entire hour.)
