S1E7 - How to prioritize tasks for success
Book of the week (Affiliate link): Master the Matrix: 7 Essentials for Getting Things Done in Complex Organizations https://amzn.to/3tyJZEN
Work life balance tips -
- Write down all tasks that have to be done in a list
- What are your overall goals to align tasks against that goal
- Find high value items -
- The Value Matrix:
- High value, low complexity - Easy win
- High value, High complexity - strategic initiative
- Low value, low complexity - Worth pursuing, worth doing later
- Low value, High complexity - deprioritize (Hot trash)
- Avoid competing interests/goals/projects
- What capacity do you have to complete tasks? What is your velocity?
- Look at the list weekly and review progress. Check if a low complexity task moved to high, or high moved to low.
Other ways to deal with tasks.
Chunking - Big problems need to be broken down into smaller chunks/tasks.
Timing, If there is a priority due to timing (Deadlines or time sensitive info) then priority should go to the item with maximum utility for the lowest amount of work needed. IF it’s a BIG problem, then chunk it down to start making forward progress
Always find a way to bring a big problem into small chunks to make forward progress an element to your issue. You’ll never get anywhere trying to eat an elephant!

10 Tips for Successful Public Speaking
From Toastmasters International - https://www.toastmasters.org/
1 . Know the room . Be familiar with the place in which you will speak. Arrive early, walk around the speaking area and practice using the microphone and any visual aids.
2 . Know the audience. Greet some of the audience as they arrive. It’s easier to speak to a group of friends than to a group of strangers.
3 . Know your material. If you’re not familiar with your material or are uncomfortable with it, your nervousness will increase. Practice your speech and revise it if necessary.
4. Relax . Ease tension by doing exercises.
5 . Visualize yourself giving your speech. Imagine yourself speaking, your voice loud, clear and assured. When you visualize yourself as successful, you will be successful.
6 . Realize that people want you to succeed. Audiences want you to be interesting, stimulating, informative and entertaining. They don’t want you to fail.
7. Don’t apologize. If you mention your nervousness or apologize for any problems you think you have with your speech, you may be calling the audience’s attention to something they hadn’t noticed. Keep silent.
8 . Concentrate on the message – not the medium. Focus your attention away from your own anxieties and outwardly toward your message and your audience. Your nervousness will dissipate.
9 . Turn nervousness into positive energy. Harness your nervous energy and transform it into vitality and enthusiasm .
10 . Gain experience. Experience builds confidence, which is the key to effective speaking. A Toastmasters club can provide the experience you need.

S1E4 - Steps to Empathetic Change
The power of empathy is huge when trying to get stuff done in the workplace. How can you figure out what capacity or capabilities people have if you don’t have a clue what they do or the struggle they encounter?
5 Steps to empathetic change:
- Walk a mile in the other person's shoes
- What was hard about that person’s day and how do they feel about it?
- Can you see any places work slows down or stalls? Ask the person about your findings, don't assume.
- Create an action plan with that person, not alone
- Make the person the vessel of change as they will ultimately be doing that changed process.

The engineering process from Musk's experience:
1 - make requirements less dumb
2 - try very hard to delete steps of the process
3 - simplify / optimize
4 - accelerate cycle time
5 - automate

Cycle Time DefinitionCycle Time is the amount of time a team spends actually working on producing an item, up until the product is ready for shipment. It is the time it takes to complete one task. This includes time spent producing the item and the wait stages (amount of time the task is left ‘waiting’ on the board) between active work times.
Lead Time DefinitionLead time is the time measured from the moment a client puts in an order to when the final product gets delivered.
Takt Time DefinitionTakt Time in German means rhythm. It is the steady ‘beat’ to which production must follow to satisfy the demands of the customer.
Takt time is the rate at which manufacturing processes and systems need to complete the production in order to meet the customer's request. Therefore, this is less of measuring the total time it takes to complete a segment or the entirety of the production.
Cycle Time ExampleSuppose your team works 40 hours a week, producing a total of 160 units.
The key to keeping a good production system is to maintain the Takt Time just below Cycle Time. If your Takt time is more than 15 minutes, you may have difficulties meeting the customer demand. Reducing Cycle Time is one of many ways to keep the operations on a steady, manageable schedule.
