Complacency is a Pain to Clean Up
I don’t get the concept of “Focus Time” in your calendar. I.e., signalling to everyone that this is when I’ll do work because that implies that the rest of the time that I am not working. Meetings have value when done right. Calls have value when done right. Standups have value when done right. Work has value when done right. The goal is to figure out how to stay focused and deliver. Move your meetings around. Select which ones you are going to. Drop the non-value activities. Your calendar can be lightweight but have plenty of focus time. Want more? …
Code Like an Artist
Greg Thomas
Coding will always be a creative endeavour to me – forever and ever. Use a different Framework. Try out a new SDK. Connect to a new API or MCP Integrate with another platform. Use Dependency Injection. Scope your Agent. Trigger from an Event. Any and all of these can be decided and created in a variety of different ways, and they can all be done creatively and with reckless abandon. Don’t code like a machine, code like an artist.

What’s Your Reset Limit
Greg Thomas
Your limit will reset unless you want to pay more money for more tokens to do more work. Or your AI can take a break. Kind of like people on your team, you can push them for a solid 3 – 4 hours and give them a break or watch their output diminish as they become more tired. Now imagine how that feels to watch, giving your AI the break and not your team. Hint: You’re giving the wrong one the break. Want more?

Complacency is a Pain to Clean Up
For the past few years, I’ve waged a war with mice at our cabin, essentially trying to keep them out of our crawlspace storage area. It’s not a perfect setup, but it’s necessary, and for a few years, I thought I was winning the war – they were staying away, never coming back. But this year, they all ganged up on me, and they launched a counteroffensive (or at least I like to imagine they all had a huddle and got together to come at me). And did they ever, laying waste to everything in our storage area (emphasis on …

Focus on One Thing
Pick one thing, work on it. Then the next. Focus breeds success. Read one book. Draw one picture. Learn one riff. Release one app. Focus and then move onto next. Want more?

Everything Takes Effort
That’s it. Everything. Everything takes effort. Learning. Prompting. Drawing. Designing. Leading. Managing. Writing. Cleaning. Refactoring. Everything, everything takes some required level of effort to come together and be something of usefulness. There is no “unefforted” thing that we want that doesn’t contain some level of value. It all takes effort, so roll up your sleeves and dive in. Want more? Check out my book Code Your Way Up – available as an eBook or Paperback on Amazon (CAN and US).
