How to get people to do things together? Building and doing things in real world.

Been thinking and reading (again) about the real challenges with trying to solve problems in a group. Thanks to these two tweets, which I stumbled upon, two days apart. https://twitter.com/mscccc/status/1430986038252654600 https://twitter.com/seanjtaylor/status/1430369389602217994 Rabbit hole, here I go.

[things I came across] RE:Silos and communication within organisation

want to update / resume this series http://proses.id/problem-solving-challenge/ https://twitter.com/this_hits_home/status/1431407312724324355?s=20 Maybe I’m discrediting myself but I consider of the most high leverage things I’ve done, the hard part was wrangling all the people to talk to one another and documenting. Is “breaking down silos” just talking to people? Why I hate the phrase “breaking down silos”…

How To Do Sketchnoting Even If You Can’t Draw – a lesson with Emily of the Sketchnote Academy

Rediscovered this video on my hard drive, realised I’ve never watched it. It’s been 10 months since I last played with sketchnoting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evLCAYlx4Kw&ab_channel=TheHappyEverCrafter The part that interests me the most is about layouts (20 minutes in). Deciding where to start sketching and not knowing how large it will end up is the part where I…

I hate people, I like humans

I don’t like people, but I love human. If I have to explain in a drawing: What’s the difference? Realised that statement is quite confusing and open to interpretation, but If you immediately “get” what I mean, we will definitely be frends. But let me try and figure it out: Humans are people I don’t…

What’s your dream job?

I saw a poll on YouTube yesterday, can’t remember from which channel. asking “Whats your dream job?”. The options were standard and uncreative, I think they were “influencers, doctor, tech, office worker, other”. I did find the replies somewhat wholesome and makes the people-watcher in me go “oh I love humans”. Human are cute and…

Childfree

The past year or so, I see this term “childfree” gaining traction in the media (local Indonesia, regional, and international) and the collective consciousness (OK, I mean “people and conversations”). Which made my brain notice more and more things related to it. I’ll share a couple of examples of things I’ve been noticing, watching, reading,…

What does being rich means to you?

Read this yesterday https://www.collaborativefund.com/blog/the-highest-forms-of-wealth/ Controlling your time and the ability to wake up and say, “I can do whatever I want today.” When money becomes like oxygen: so abundant relative to your needs that you don’t have to think about it despite it being a critical part of your life. A career that allows for…

Invisible mess

First let me share 4 links and 1 story. Was reading this interview with Aly Raisman. https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-new-yorker-interview/aly-raisman-still-wants-answers Q: We’ve seen so many turnovers in leadership. Is it possible for USA Gymnastics to change, or will reforming the culture of the sport require a much broader overhaul of the governing body? A: When I think about…

Would you do it to your kid?

Still felt tired after napping for extra 2 hours on top of the 4.5 hours of sleep last night. Debated if I should let myself sleep more right now (only 7pm) and not worry about writing or feel guilty of not being more productive. Reason is I’ve spent 4h and 16m fiddlin with my phone…
