This week's newsletter is about tiny changes & remarkable results, what async work actually is, and challenging industry norms.

(It's a shorter edition with some old highlights because I got sick 🤷‍♂️)

Let's go!

Three Workshop Examples

​

1: OBJECTIVES and KEY RESULTS explained step-by-step (OKRs)

​

This video builds on the ideas of 3-2-1: Workshop Weekly #13 and is great if you are about to set your 2024 goals.

​

2: How to Create a USER STORY MAP To Make Customer-Focused Roadmaps

​

User story mapping has never failed my teams to get clarity and overview. It's great if you need to (re-)prioritize your backlog.

​

3: Atomic Habits Team Workshop - Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results

​

One of my favourite books turned into a workshop you can do with your team.

​

Two Async Tips

​

1: What async work actually is

The goal of async work is to create a balance between:

• 🤝 effective collaboration
• 🧘 uninterrupted time for deep thought and focused work.
  ​

Asynchronous communication is NOT just about the absence of meetings.

2: Async work is about slower response times.​
Being busy ≠ being productive.

The stress of context-switching and replying to every message instantly takes a toll on your health and mental well-being. Async work allows you to give thoughtful, considered replies.

​

One Question For Your Team

(I'm currently reading Elon Musk's biography, and the chapter about how SpaceX built rockets 10x cheaper is fascinating)
