The Habits we Avoid

We avoid the habits that help us like the plague. They take too much time to get going. They are not easy to start. Establishing the ritual is easily broken. Their commitment takes extra. So we avoid them, we push them away from the “work” that is easy to accomplish because it feels like we have still accomplished something, but it’s not the habit we want to accomplish, simply something. Don’t avoid them, figure them out, break them until they are so part of your day, they can’t be ignored.

The first few weeks of a New Game are critical because you have to commit to the learning, to figuring things out, to walking through what does and doesn’t work (and yes loads of mistakes and dying). Kind of like starting a new project, you need to commit, put the time in, and make it

Start with the Team

If you can’t get them to trust each other if you can’t get them to find that common ground. How can you expect them to build an app? How can you expect them to build a system? How can they execute on your system? What will they do when things go wrong? Find the common ground, wherever it is, and start there.
