Imagine a team where everyone is focused on a single task in complete alignment!

You could get 2x output - or more!

What if I told you you could do that as a #solopreneur?

I've figured out ways to implement similar approaches while running RPGMode.com

Here's how:
1. Work in sprints, days and blocks.

I split my month into 2 sprints of 2 weeks & plan all the stuff I need to get done.

I split my weeks into 2 meeting days, 1 thinking day & 2 doing days.

Each day is split into 3 blocks of 2 hours each so that I can bunch tasks together.
2. Productive procrastination.

If I get bored/frustrated with one task, I switch to another task - of the same brand. Context switching load is reduced and I'm still making progress.

Of course it's not always possible.

In that case, I switch to no-brainer tasks like admin.
3. Full Immersion Method.

I'm sure there's another term for it, but what I do when it comes to work, I have learning, doing, making and shipping. (I have that tattooed as well!)

I bunch tasks of the same mode together as well such that I can minimize context switching costs.
These 3 are my default operating system. And, it's served me well the past few years.
There's a lot to learn from the #ttrpg & #rpg space and from games like #dnd.

Would you rather read a book or write a book?

That's the difference between fixing tech debt & BRAND DEBT.

And this is why founders need to pay attention. ↓
You build up tech debt when you take shortcuts & write easy but bad code.

Eventually, you gotta fix the shortcuts (with interest) or tempt disaster.

Repaying tech debt is easy. You know what to do, how to do it & where to do it.

But, fixing brand debt ain't like that...
You accrue brand debt when you do stuff that's not aligned with your brand.

You could add a card to your @trello (@notionHQ if you're fancy) board to fix it...

But when it's time to fix it, you're facing a mighty dragon with a quivering sword of jelly. (ಠ_ಠ)

Here's why...
