Personal Optimization

My tried-and-true structure/template for writing emails that get me the response I'm looking for. Plus a few ground rules to keep you on the right track.

We are almost a year into doing this simple, small thing, and I believe it's had a positive impact on our teams. It's certainly affected us as leaders.

After my recent shift into project/product management, I realized my existing toolkit was obsolete. I no longer needed Docker, Git, or Stack Overflow.

Gmail Templates let you save pre-written messages that you can drop into emails. It saves me time and stress, and it's incredibly easy to set up.

It feels good to look back and take stock of what worked and what didn't. Behaviors distill into patterns; some are worth keeping, others need to be thrown out.
