Want To Grow Amplenote Community
Desired Collaborations

While implementing organizational change through a larger lens is a monumental and critical task I am much more interested in working on the ground level and with people as that is where I think things so often fall apart.

How do we talk to the people involved, bring them on board, and make sure we can have tough conversations around these?

Productivity Tactics

Reviews for sure. See the excellent blogposts and community samplers for a primer on these.

Daily tracking of keystone habits also go a long way. Keystone habits are those habits which affect change in other areas and can be different for different people. Once identified, they pay big dividends.

Constant reminders that we will never be able to get everything done and that is actually okay. It is okay to let some things go and, in fact, even more important to turn down some things.
