1. Pause notifications for 1-4 hours while you do deep work. Leave your phone in another room 2. Optimize your schedule. Ask for meeting notes with key information instead of showing up to meetings that don't contribute to your or your team's bottom line 3. Do most impactful and important work first rather than easy tickets.

I live on mute. All notifications are silent except calls from my dad, wife, grandpa or brother lol

Just the combined brain power in that room with Rahul and Steve is mind boggling. One is a staff engineer at Facebook and the other is a Principal engineer at Amazon. Jhees.

Short, precise and unambiguous videos - you guys are doing what you preach, which increases the value of your advice even more! Love these to-the-point interviews and QnA's. Learn a lot from these compared to other content creators. Taro has been helping me learn countless new strategies and concepts of handling general issues that SE's encounter. So yeah, excellent app man. Keep at it. Thanks for your contribution

This was such a great video. Especially the point about optimizing one’s schedule. It can be difficult for lower level engineers to know how to handle the barrage of meetings on a weekly basis. Evaluating the necessity of your attendance at meetings is huge.

fwiw, interpolating a heavy lift with a "dessert" story (the simpler stickies you mentioned) helps some folks I know. Having been on a variety of teams, mileage varies greatly due to team dynamics as well...if you have the kind of control described, AND you also work on a team, you might also be very lucky. ;-) Great discussion, thank you!

Rahul, do you know anyone who started companies while on F1 or H1B ? How did they navigate their Visa journey?

I do know one, but he had a cofounder who was a US citizen. If you're on a visa, I'd recommend partnering with a citizen.

These are not well thought out... 6:00 so.. just reschedule the meeting so it fits YOUR schedule what about everyone else? Ignore notifications? Ok, and when you need to get unblocked and message someone? They should ignore you right?

@xordux7 Жыл бұрын

this is not what they meant. 1. Meeting reschedule: Steve or Rahul didn't suggest forcing others while doing so. They will still have option to suggest different time or decline the change. 2. Notifications: Yes, ignore them all. Asynchronous communication is the key to productivity. Nobody should text someone and expect them to reply instantly. If you have something urgent (not only important but also urgent) then directly call that person or reach to their desk (if at office). Maybe I am not great at explaining but they really don't want you to become a rude/selfish teammate.

I can't stand the culture of jumping at notifications. Someone liked my post/I got an email or even a text? cool. I don't need to get a beep about it and I don't need to leave everything and check it.

Yep, very few things are truly urgent
