How to Survive Content Tsunamis and Animated GIF Storms — Theo Priestley on Productivity 39:25

9 years ago39:25

39:25

Theo Priestley is the CEO of Cronycle, a content discovery and collaboration platform. Priestley has a wealth of experience in senior positions at software companies and advisory roles working with diverse startups such as Cupenya, and Novaquark (developing the E3 hit Dual Universe). Priestley is very active in the startup community mentoring within UK and US accelerators. Show notes at http://hellotechpros.com/theo-priestley-productivity/ Key Takeaways Documentation for the sake of documentation is unproductive. Kit bags are project and document templates to build on quickly instead of creating from scratch. Find like-minded people who are willing to run with POCs and then proving it works. Information is everywhere and we are poor at filtering the noise. It feels like we are drowning in a content tsunami. Groups tend to fall into the relevance paradox. They don't know to look for different types of information because of the lack of experience and knowledge. (You don't know what you don't know.) Automation should be used to augment the filtering process, not replace it. Who are the sources that are providing real, diverse value and who are just posting memes? Filter the memes. If you have to create a new channel to replace the channel that is just filled with noise it is past time to implement a channel moderator or curator. Some content is designed to be point-in-time just for that project and some will be evergreen. Be more selective about content you consume.…

Those Productivity Hacks Won't Work Without This — Alex Barker 52:24

Alex Barker is a coach for high achievers and mastermind creator for entrepreneurs. He’s a big action taker, just like his clients. He built 3 businesses in 3 years, paid off his house in less 3 years, and has coached over 50 people to build lifestyle businesses. He podcasts on the 66 Day Experiment, where he experiments on his life and business, like creating a business in 66 days, reading a book a day, and facing daily rejection. His mission is to help men and women find a disciplined approach to success in life and business. Show notes at http://hellotechpros.com/alex-barker-productivity/ Key Takeaways Are you being productive or just working hard? Ask yourself, "What am I doing and how can I change?" Change your morning habits to build a new routine that enhances productivity. Slay your dragons in the morning. Focus on the hardest things that you tend to procrastinate. Decision fatigue affects your ability to make decisions throughout the day. Capitalize on the compound effect of taking daily action. Over time it will yield big results. All it takes is one big client to enable your business to be successful. Accept who you are and capitalize on your strengths. If you take action on the first day of a new opportunity, you will be much further ahead than if you hadn't. When you have success, people want to know how you got successful. You now have an opportunity to start coaching. There is a difference between a coach and a consultant - consultant gives you the information and a coach provides support. Everyone believes what they are missing is the knowledge to do something. The thing that is stopping them is their own doubts. People are afraid of others judging them. For example, they are afraid of selling their product or service because people will think you're just trying to rip them off. The most important aspect of creating productivity is self-discipline, not time management. You need both faith and belief.…

Keeping Junk Managed Using the Eisenhower Method — Jay Miller on Productivity 36:31

Jay Miller is a System Administrator, Pastor, Developer, and Podcaster. Jay started the Productivity in Tech Community hoping to help people in the tech industry find ways to be more productive. He's also host the Productivity in Tech Podcast. Show notes at http://hellotechpros.com/jay-miller-productivity/ Key Takeaways In the military and some large command-and-control companies, you're just supposed to do what you're told. In small business, you don't know exactly what you're supposed to be doing and how to prioritize. Prioritize your day using the Eisenhower matrix. Is this going to break today? (Urgency) Is this going to break soon and get me fired? (Importance) Instead of working on all the little unimportant / non-urgent things and not get anything done, get prioritized. Not everyone's priorities are in alignment. Their fire may be like a struck match and yours is like a building on fire. Have a conversation about the combined priorities and let everyone know what they are. Your heath, personal goals and dreams are never someone else's priority. You need to focus on prioritize time for yourself. A good system is something you don't have to worry about. It just works. If you yes to everyone and everything, you're not allowing people to develop their own productivity systems. Delegate repetitive tasks and focus on higher-level priorities. Get in the zone and enjoy what you're doing. Make sure you're focusing on being productive, not being busy. Focus on the one thing that is the most important today. Don't spend too much time worrying about the future. You are already productive, now start optimizing.…

How This Video Game Company Identifies the Perfect Features and Business Partners — Spencer Liu on Productivity 38:59

While solving different business problems which mobile developers and publishers face everyday, Spencer was inspired to simultaneously kick off KTplay, the world’s only in-game player community and live ops platform. Show notes at Key Takeaways Try new things you don't know anything about. Putting yourself outside of your comfort zone makes you work harder to be productive. In uncomfortable situations you have to rely on others and build teams. In some cultures, the big boss is the big boss. The boss never asks, just commands. Take the team out to lunch and establish rapport and promise them they won't get fired for speaking up. People can get unmotivated because they are busy working on 10 things but don't know the priorities. When discouraged, focus outside of yourself. Develop and continually revisit the vision statement. Are yourselves these questions: Who do we want to be and what do we want to do for whom? What was original vision for the company? Are these customers the right partners for the platform? Are we chasing after numbers instead of results? Are the customers using the platform the way we intented them to do? If we continue to duplicate this partnership, what will the product look like 6 month from now? Look at the situation from different perspectives.…
