RWDevCon 2016 Inspiration Talk – Going Deep by Ken Yarmosh
In this inspirational talk, Ken Yarmosh discusses strategies to arrange your work and life so that you have more opportunities to go deep in your work and create something really special. By Christine Sweigart.
8) Allocate Deep Time
Enacting many of these suggestions will considerably free up your time. They’ll free up your brain cycles, and they’ll give you the opportunity to find deep time, and that’s what this is really all about.
My personal approach is that I like to get into the office really early. I get into the office at 7 am every day. I make some super snobby coffee, and I am to do my deep work, my deep time, 1-2 hours before any of my team comes into the office.
By the time a lot of the team’s rolling in, I’m feeling fulfilled. I’m feeling like I have done the thing that’s going to have the biggest impact on Savvy Apps that day. I then can be more available to my team and help on different things.
I hope that I gave you some different ideas here. As you go forward, I really hope that you consider going deep, to find that for yourself, and I think you’re going to have a much more fulfilling 2016.
