Does your team have a ‘presentation culture’ or a ‘memo culture’? After living through both, I’ve come to believe there is a better approach.. Thread:

Early in my career, I sucked at keeping up w/ people. I didn’t have a system. And personal CRMs never quite fit...or evolve with me. Instead, they reduce people down to LinkedIn profiles & transactional interactions. Here’s my take on a CRM that is a little more human.

9) That leads to a key ritual at Coda & one of our secrets to shipping fast, with high quality: two-way writeups. Phase #3 : Two-way writeups start w/ the premise that questions/feedback are key to fast iteration—not combing through Google Doc comments to make progress.

7) I see 3 problems with one-way writeups: - You don’t know who has read them. - The feedback is unstructured and all looks the same. - The most important questions get buried in comment threads.

10) With two-way writeups, you can: - Know who’s read the doc, so you can get moving. - Gather structured feedback, then reflect as a group. - Focus on the most important questions, by getting the group to add theirs and vote on each others.

@danhockenmaier On your point about writing cultures over presentation cultures, I agree. There's an interesting history in the space. Wrote about this a while back here.

Does your team have a ‘presentation culture’ or a ‘memo culture’? After living through both, I’ve come to believe there is a better approach.. Thread:

Love this framework. And @halesjustin made it easy to put @SahilBloom 's calendar process into action.

Kudos to @halesjustin for building a tool to help people leverage this simple framework with their calendars. I’m pretty amazed by how quickly he did this and cold DMed it to me. The internet is amazing.

❔ What separates great product teams from the rest? 🤔 That’s a question I’ve been thinking about lately. ✍️ So I started writing down some stories, philosophy, and practical approaches in the form of first principles. 👇 Below is a little tidbit from the first post.

Is your team building cathedrals, or simply stacking bricks? @shishirmehrotra and @lshackleton discuss why teams that see how their work contributes to something more substantial are more successful than those who only see individual activity:

Made a @figmadesign plugin with @carlojoerges that let's you use data from @coda_hq in Figma ~~ You can use data from tables, apply data in bulk, and easily ellipse content after # of lines.

Awesome talk by @helenajar about building the publishing platform at @coda_hq from the ground up, loved her and the team's approach to developing a clear vision and complementing it with a compelling story arc (esp within fast time constraints)

About every 3 months, I remove all Infinity Pools ( @jazer and @jakek 's term) from my phone, eg twitter, slack, email.. It usually takes ~2 hrs of no phone/computer to have a clarifying insight on a problem I'm struggling with. Any yet, somehow I always add them back.. 🤯😱🤡

New project! - is a small website that guides you through a slow, observational walk. Taking a purposeless walk does so much to help me feel centered and energized, so I hope this encourages more of that 🐌
