With the Corona pandemic, a lot has changed in how we work. A lot has also changed in the ‘perceived workload’ where people think they have to work more to appear more productive now. They make more hours a day; the
y combine all other sorts of activities and have little to no time to wind down. I’m not an expert in psychology, but this can’t be right.
A lot of the Innovation Managers and Startup Founders I speak to usually are working in sprints to run their projects. But it seems they have forgotten collectively that these sprints are part of a marathon, so pace yourself. It is not right to stay safe from Corona and work yourself to the ground.
Double-check:
-
Your total backlog,
-
Your actual burn rate,
-
Your priorities
And don’t forget yourself and your family with this list!
