Take that First StepAn objective or macro result which often looks hard to achieve, is nothing but a culmination of micro actions which often are easy to take and it’s just a matter of taking that first step. That’s what separates Doers from Dreamers

4 Ways To Develop A Bias For Action

Age old notion of first learn then earn has been flipped today, as now people prefer to learn while they earn.Performing action is actually the quickest way of learning. Mistakes that you make during the process prove to be a better teacher than textbooks.

Learn While You Earn  

Unless we have something to loose we are not bothered about the consequences. We don’t take any action unless we have something on the line. This phenomenon is referred to as having skin in the game, unless you face the fear of loosing the game or reputation you won’t be committed to take an action.

Skin in the Game  

Tech Giant Amazon, lists Bias for Action as one of its 14 leadership principles. Their mantra is to put words into action as quick as possible while taking calculated risks. The way Amazon describes it as follows “Speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study. We value calculated risk taking.”

Calculated Risk Taking  

In life we come across many problems where our pace of decision making determines whether or not we would succeed. The reason we are unable to take the first step is because we feel hesitant.

February 24, 2022 It is willingness to take that first step. A macro result is nothing but a culmination of micro actions which often are easy to take

How To Develop Bias For Action - thingstodoclub.com

In celebration of Black History Month this year, we’ve seen corporate leaders participate in more public displays of solidarity than ever before, from employee volunteer days and internal company workshops to writing large checks to community organizations and nonprofits. These efforts are no doubt designed to demonstrate the commitments they’ve made to diversity, equity, and inclusion over recent years in response to the Black Lives Matter movement and increasing awareness of the problems of systemic racism.

Why Flexible Work Is Essential to Your DEI Strategy

But when companies tout the accomplishments of Black people or support Black causes while ignoring the inequities holding people of color back in their own organizations, their actions feel like “performative wokeness,” especially if they’re largely abandoned the other 11 months of the year. We’d like to see leaders move beyond transient or surface-level displays of DEI by investing in initiatives that actively support their employees of color. And they can start by making pandemic-era flexibility a permanent offering for all.

Performative Wokeness

Corporate America has long been a monoculture. According to a 2019 Bureau of Labor Statistics report, the entire U.S. workforce is 77% white and white workers are significantly more likely to hold managerial positions than Black and Hispanic employees. It’s also worse at the top: 93% of CEOs in the Fortune 500 are white, and two-thirds of C-suite executives are white men.

Corporate America

Pre-pandemic, many companies placed high value on in-person face time in the (predominantly white) office. In this environment, inequity — particularlyple of color — arose from lack of clarity on informal mechanisms of evaluating performance, including relationships and connections stemming from social networking events and company happy hours. These face time expectations in and out of work often caused strain, particularly for Black employees.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

Creativity is a habit, and the best creativity is the result of good work habits.

Habit Quotes - BrainyQuote

Recent research from Gallup shows that daily rates of anger, stress, worry and sadness among American workers are worse than over the past decade. As a team leader, you are responsible for managing your team's moods without letting their anger impact your effectiveness.

Managing anger in the workplace

There are three damaging reactions to your team's anger.<ul><li>Dismissing the team's grievances, believing they need to get over it.</li><li>Deflecting issues. First showing interest, but then changing the subject and not doing anything about it.</li><li>Defending. If you are emotionally distant from your team, you may react defensively to protect yourself.</li></ul> Depersonalise how you receive feedback that your team is angry. See these inputs as data. Don't add your judgment or excuses to the data. This will enable you to respond more effectively.

Stabilise your emotion before reacting to theirs

Accept the feedback that your team is frustrated without judging your team or yourself. Ask for more information, demonstrating that you care to acknowledge it. Then reframe the concept of anger as a part of the human condition that, when managed effectively, can improve the drive across your team. Offer your team members a safe space to vent. Then encourage them to partner with you to find solutions that benefit everyone.

Lean into their anger with an intent to learn

Once you have de-escalated emotions, you can channel their frustration toward more constructive outcomes. <ul><li>Helping your team redirect their frustration toward a battle that benefits others can help spark creativity around what changes to make.</li><li>Design goals that involve striving for success instead of doing a task to avoid failure can increase their stamina and grit.</li><li>Consider the quality of your team's goals. Are the goals within reach or so unreasonable that they will likely give up?</li></ul>

Redesign team goals together

Consider your blind spots that could contribute to their anger. How you engage with your team can increase the tension or improve trust. Once you've identified your blindspots, be willing to publicly own the areas where you need to improve and request feedback and advice. This approach can shift perceptions from negative to positive.

Facts about Oumuamua. #shorts

Feeling overwhelmed at work or at any point in your busy life is not something to be ashamed of. Not having enough time to get things done is a common complaint that many people can relate to. In this article, I’ll provide a few coping mechanisms to deal with the stress that lacking time inflicts upon us all.Time traps, time famine, and time confetti are each phenomena that we have to deal with every so often but we hardly have the time to think, let alone give a name to them. Today, society throws at us countless distractions

Time Traps, Time Famine, Time Confetti, and 5 Ways to Cope

As briefly described in the previous paragraph, time traps may be subtle but are dangerous and detrimental to your well-being. While the connotation for the term time trap sounds negative, Persico adds that “many of us like to find some type of activity to spend our time on and for us, it is not a time trap… One person’s trap is another person’s passion.”Some obvious examples of time traps include mindlessly scrolling on social media sites, obsessively checking and refreshing your email inbox, and hopping from one video to another while on YouTube.

What are Time Traps?

Bryan Robinson, Ph.D., seems to be the online expert on the phenomenon of time famine, or what he describes as “starving for more time to do everything we need to do.” I’ve been poring over some online references for time famine, but it didn’t take me too long to come across two distinct, magnificently written articles on the subject by Dr. Robinson.The way he describes time famine is more like describing today’s individual as someone driven to eat time up as if he were in an all-you-can-eat buffet when the option to be a connoisseur has always been available.

What is Time Famine?

The term time confetti was coined by Brigid Schulte, but Ashley Whillans describes it as “little bits of seconds and minutes lost to unproductive multitasking.”Every few seconds or minutes don’t seem too bad, but collectively, that confetti adds up to something more pernicious than you might expect. A straightforward example is the whole duration of a work break, which, these days aren’t very wisely utilized by people. Someone who doesn’t fall into the trap of turning that 1-hour time off into time confetti would wisely remove himself from his workspace and get a breather fresh air.

What is Time Confetti?

Whenever you feel overwhelmed due to lack of time, remember this – each person has 24 hours in a day, no more, no less. Appreciate every second, minute, and hour. Productivity is great, and it might help you advance your career but it can also come at the expense of living a good life or failing to appreciate the mundane things that you pass by along the way.

1. Stop worrying too much about productivity.

Software engineers turn to playing music, mathematicians to stand-up-comedy, doctors to painting. When you remove yourself from what you do for a living (even if you enjoy it a lot, or even if you do it very well), you should do so while turning towards something almost completely unrelated to it. The effect becomes all too refreshing, and at the same time you are also taken from the environment that caused you to overload your schedule.

2. Adopt a hobby that is almost the exact opposite of what you spend the most time on.

Usually, the most difficult things to learn take a lot of patience. Take for example the sport tennis. Learning how to serve, do a forehand stroke, a backhand, footwork, learning how to toss the ball – each of these individual tennis skills takes a lot of practice for you to even be considered a beginner in the sport and start playing with others.The goal is not to become very good at the skill – instead, it is going through the process of learning the skill that’s valuable here. When you learn to be patient about acquiring each of the individual skills that make. up the general skill

3. Try learning a very challenging skill.

When you surround yourself with people who are obsessed about moving up in life or doing so much in their free time that doesn’t constitute leisure, you can’t avoid looking yourself in the mirror and asking, “What should I be doing? Shouldn’t I be doing more with all the free time I have?” This mentality will put you in a cyclic trap, always looking at social media posts to see what your friends have been up to and you either feel anxious or deal with the anxiety by keeping busy.The solution? Simple. Find friends who don’t put that kind of pressure on themselves.

4. Find friends who take it easy and who are not obsessed about ‘making it.’

This is said too much, too often in every time management course, book, article, and whatnot. But as you progress in whatever pursuit, you’ll eventually appreciate the power of ‘saying no’ And it’s just not saying no to others when they coerce or trick you into a commitment – you have to learn to say no to your own wants or wishes that seem too impractical.Learning how to prioritize is the most basic skill when it comes to managing time and overcoming time traps, time famine, and time confetti. Prioritizing includes giving up on things that matter less than the things that are important.

5. Appreciate the power of saying no.

Each of us only has 24 hours in a day. Distractions are here to stay, but these can be managed. Being overly obsessed with productivity will easily lead to anxiety, disappointment, and emptiness. Therefore, if you were to take something out of this article, let it be this – learn how to take care of your mental health.

⌛  each of us only has 24 hours in a day. Distractions are here to stay, but these can be managed. Being overly obsessed about productivity will easily lead to anxiety, disappointment, and emptiness. It's a reality where you control your time, and not letting it control you.

🎞 Quick Backstory : As Product Managers, we all come across so many great ideas to implement in our Products (apps, webs, services) but most of the time they end up getting rejected by our Seniors, due to "lack of understanding" or "It is very complicated" or even "This won't work!" 😒👇🏻 Following are some of the great concepts, simplified which you can implement them in your products, RN!

[Part 1] Top 3 Products : Understanding PM with Real Life Examples

💬 Stop using Priority Funnels (PF). Start using Priority Channels (PC)!Real-life Example -<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Understand how 📞 911 - Emergency Helpline, handles our calls/complaints/requests. When someone calls 911, the request is first listened and understood properly. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">Then based on its inputs, it is converted into a Request Note . Request notes are labelled based on the Type of Emergency 🏷</li><li class="ql-align-justify">These are then passed on to the respective departments, where these requests are sorted based on its urgency level.</li></ul>✅ #1 : First categorize, then sort based on priority. Use PC, not PF.

[#1] 911, what's your emergency?

💬 Stop testing our products like a Grown-up, Start testing it like a Baby!Real-life Example -<ul><li>Understand how the baby reacts when he/she sees a big box wrapped as a Gift 🎁. Observe the excitement and eagerness to know which toy is inside for him/her to play.</li><li>When unwrapped, observe how he/she plays with it. Touches it, Picks it up, drops it, throws it, rolls it, ( and even sits on it 😅). Understand the randomness of the actions being performed.</li></ul>✅ #2 : Let the customer use it, freely. Let the customer find it, explore it, use it. Track these actions to derive a User Behavior. It helps a lot!

[#2] Play Toys thru Baby Mindset

💬 Stop just multiplying numbers, Start using MasterChef's formula!Real-life Example -<ul><li>Observe the 👨🏻‍🍳 Chefs at restaurants, perfectly knows the recipe for 1 person. But when the order is for 4 people, they don't just add everything in multiples of 4. They use a secret formula to fulfill that order, which they've developed themselves by years of Experience.</li><li>This formula is so flexible and versatile, that if anyone wants it without Mustard sauce, or wants it with extra Fried Onions, Chefs formulate it on the go!</li></ul>✅ #3 : Scalability should not be multiplication, it should be Formulation.

[#3] MasterChef's Recipe

If you want to explore what can psychological sciences teach us about how to be happier, feel less stressed out, and build productive habits.In order to know what makes you happy, you must identify things or thoughts don't do it and why.Then, you should try to implement the following research-based methods to improve your own life.

The Science of Well-Being

Things we THINK make us being happy Lots of Money:  A little bit   :)Awesome "costly" stuff:  NO   True love:  For a little bit   :)Perfect body:  NOGood grades:  A little bit    :)

Misconceptions about Happiness according to Science

We think in relatives not absolutes, which means we take a point of reference.That's why we compare ourselves with others.The results of Social Comparison:<ul><li>Feel better when we are surrounded by people we think is inferior to us or worse when they seem to have a better salary, job, grades or body.</li><li>And this phenomenon has increased with social media since everybody is trying to achieve the standard or the trend.</li></ul>

What our expectations are so bad

<ul><li>Our minds' strongest intuitions are often totally wrong. The things we think are gonna make us happy don't really make us happy.</li><li>Our minds don't think in terms of absolutes. Causes social comparison, which is described by the image above, the orange circles are the same size but seem different due to the others surrounding them.</li><li>Our mind is built to get used to stuff. When we experience things for the first time they are amazing, but this fades away with repetition.</li><li>We don't realize our minds are built to get used to stuff. We can adapt to negative effects, we are more resilient than we think.</li></ul>

Annoying features of our mind

Savoring is the act of stepping outside of an experience to review and appreciate it.<ul><li>Lengthens the positive emotions that come with doing something you love.</li><li>It can be a nice shower, a delicious meal, a great walk outside, or any experience that you really enjoy.</li><li>Includes sharing the experience with another person, thinking about how lucky you are to enjoy the moment, keeping a photo of that activity,</li></ul>Gratitude is a positive emotional state in which one recognizes and appreciates what one has received in life.<ul><li>You can just write and take a moment to be mindful of the things you’re writing about.</li></ul>

Savoring & Gratitude

Research shows that happy people are motivated to do kind things for others.<ul><li>You can do one extra act of kindness per day, or you can do a few acts of kindness in a single day.</li><li>It should be something that really helps or impacts another person.</li></ul>Research shows that happy people spend more time with others and have a richer set of social connections than unhappy people.<ul><li>The simple act of talking to a stranger on the street can boost our mood more than we expect.</li></ul>

Kindness & Social Connection

Let’s Get Physical<ul><li>30 minutes a day of exercise can boost your mood in addition to making your body healthier.</li><li>Get your body moving a bit more than usual. It is not supposed to be a high-level activity, you can throw on some headphones and dance around your room. </li></ul>Sleep!One of the reasons we’re so unhappy in our modern lives is that we’re consistently sleep-deprived. <ul><li>You must get at least seven hours of sleep for at least four nights of the next week.</li><li>Be sure to practice good sleep hygiene too— no devices before bed and try to avoid caffeine and alcohol on the days you’re getting your sleep on.</li></ul>

Exercise & Sleep

Meditate!<ul><li>Practice intentionally turning your attention away from distracting thoughts toward a single point of reference.</li><li>It can have a number of positive benefits, including more positive moods, increased concentration, and more feelings of social connection.</li></ul>Gratitude Letter/Visit<ul><li>Write a letter of gratitude to someone you care about. Think of one person who has made a big difference in your life.</li><li>A gratitude letter is one of the most powerful tool for increasing happiness because it can forge social bonds and really change someone’s life.</li></ul>

Meditation & Gratitude Visit

These ideas are important to me because they guide me to have a strong sense of well-being, which helped me to overcome difficult situations and achieve my goals.
