The very first experience of working with a group of people to achieve a goal started when I was 16 years old (2006) and we launched our School’s Platform where Students would interact and share their experiences etc. Since then I have had the privilege to be a part of many extra curricular teams in School and College and then later on much bigger teams in Flat.to, Flatchat and Unacademy. And then I have had some privilege to see other Founders in action.
Gaurav, this is a very interesting post. I like your thesis here. Here's another variation of what I follow:
1. In 2020, I used personal OKRs and then got down to achieving them. Checklist style. Learnt this was not the best way because I am still figuring myself out and so I get distracted easily. A good pre work for becoming an idea and execution machine is to increase rate of testing or failure to first nail your consistency- to only understand if the constant work comes naturally to you/ you enjoy it or if you really suffer from lack of motivation on consistent basis.
2. In 2021, I'm further breaking down goals into sprints, similar to your system, but with the object being less task oriented and more long-term outcome focused. I've learnt that there are three aspects to productivity- novelty, managing expectations and increasing self-control. I think for any level this holistic outlook is much needed.
I would request you to also give my approach a look and we could exchange notes.
Amaizng thoughts. I also keep a running notes on my mobile of personal idea machine but need better solution. Evernote or Notion is what I am looking but still. You know a better idea keeping app?
Great way to execute things ...Inspired very much sir
