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)

That's all for this week. If you enjoyed today's issue, please reply (it helps with deliverability). If you didn't, you can unsubscribe via the link👇.
