I help organizations clarify and deliver what matters most. I’m also a fan of the outdoors :)

You need to get a cycling system going where you keep only he best ones worth re-reading and let the world have the others. I give mine to the library or the church thrift store, but you could sell them too

Let me know what your experiences have been with this. What other agile practices you have brought into a blended way of working?

It’s super easy to try and super difficult to do well, and that is what I like most

I’m using the improvement kata along with a Kanban system to explore more meaningful ways to define productivity. This practice has helped me to define goals in more actionable ways.

Like the pomegranate tree, I rely on systemic support to achieve my goal. In the same way it needs good soil, sunlight, rain, I need good government policies and market conditions that support small businesses. The tree has survived a storm. It remains healthy even in adversity.

If I’m fortunate, I will be able to bring in enough business to support other people and their families, so that they can thrive and set aside a good percentage for a rainy day or for their retirement.

Like the tree, I am bringing all my energy into supporting a mission: to bring in income for my family so that we can thrive in this economy. Enough income to set aside a good percentage to invest and allow us to thrive when a day comes that I am no longer able to work.

Writing without LLMs?

How does your process differ from this?

Do you have a better way?

I also preserve the prompts that I find most useful, so that I can run them again. I expect the data to be dynamic, and sometimes I'm seeking to notice differences. I also expect that the functionality and usefulness of the various LLMs will change over time.
