If you can’t describe it, you don’t know it well enough
A key to understanding how well you know a subject is how easily you’re able to explain it to others. As I shared last year in “Explain it to me like I’m five“, being able to distill a complex subject down is a great skill to develop.

The two benefits of a solid process
- It helps you to better understand what you’re actually doing. Taking the time to write out a process is often very beneficial for the one doing it.
- Long-term, it makes it easier for others to help with your work. At the time of this writing, our project manager at GreenMellen is out on maternity leave, but the processes that we have in place for her work allow us to continue on relatively seamlessly (though we’re very excited to have her back soon!).
