4 days agoPsychology says the people with the most genuine discipline in their lives don't look anything like the productivity culture tells you to look - they're not waking at 5am or tracking every minute, they've built a quieter kind of discipline that most people miss because it doesn't perform itself - Silicon Canals
Discipline is often misrepresented; true discipline is quieter and more effective than the rigid routines promoted by productivity culture.

Well, our guest today argues that the best way is by moving to a more project-driven model of work, up and down the organization from the corporate level to individual teams. He wants us to both ruthlessly prioritize as well as stay fluid so that we're identifying strategic goals, assembling teams to go after them, evaluating as we go, and then either continuing, shifting, or disbanding based on our outcomes.

One of the challenges teams face when working with large boards or displaying multiple fields on work item cards is limited screen space. This became even more noticeable with the rollout of the New Boards hub, which introduced additional spacing and padding for improved readability. While this enhances clarity, it can also reduce the number of cards visible at once.

2 months agoWhy your AI project is about to get deprioritized (and how to save it)
Your AI pilot showed 94% accuracy improvements. The LLM is yielding solid results. You're getting defunded anyway. The reason? You solved a problem AI can solve. Your budget-holder needed you to solve theirs. Companies launch AI pilots that produce results, then stall at scale. The team's diagnosis: "They don't get it." What's really going on: These projects never earned budget-holder buy-in.
