Issue #16 (Salary Progression in Tech) 06/03/19
From a Hacker News thread asking What tools/methods do you use to focus your time well?, there are some suggestions for time management apps and websites, but then there are a few other non-technical answers. One reader responds in part:
"Being more of a maverick personality type, I don’t even entertain 'methods' or 'systems' to structure my life. I pretty much just follow whatever thread I’m on and do what seems best in the moment."
And maybe the most controversial answer:
"The most optimal strategy I can consider towards making efficient use of my time is to spend absolutely none of it researching methods or techniques to do so."
There's certainly some benefit to avoiding obsessing over the technical side of time management, but I think many people will find the technical suggestions and tools useful for their personality types or circumstances.
Now on to this week's hand-picked productivity links!
