Planning

Engineer systems to fall into a pit of success.

Improve systems thinking and product development

Routines​

Time and Mind we become what we practice connection with.

Morning Routine​

  1. 15-minute technology scan: Review latest developments in AI agents and crypto
  2. 30-minute deliberate practice: Work on specific AI agent building skills
  3. 15-minute communication preparation: Organize insights to share with others

Daily Focus Blocks​

  1. Deep work (90-120 minutes): Building AI agent workflows and documenting progress
  2. Connection building (30-60 minutes): Outreach to potential collaborators or clients
  3. Learning integration (60 minutes): Apply new knowledge to practical applications

Weekly Reflection​

  1. Progress assessment: Measure skill development against specific benchmarks
  2. Strategy adjustment: Refine approach based on new information and results
  3. Communication refinement: Improve explanation of vision to others

Systems​

Engineer systems where falling into the flow of success becomes unavoidable.

  • Documentation
  • Effective Onboarding
  • Standards and Expectations
  • Collective Wisdom
  • Consistent Process

Capabilities​

The hardest thing about project management is aligning people's intentions to fulfill a common purpose.

  1. Multidisciplinary coordination is crucial in complex projects like battery factory construction.
  2. Risk monitoring, anticipation, and mitigation are essential components of project management.
  3. Effective communication, both laterally and upwards, is vital for project success.
  4. Organizations can be likened to neural networks, with nodes receiving and providing information.
  5. Documenting and disseminating lessons learned is challenging but crucial for organizational growth.
  6. AI has significant potential in extracting insights from project documentation and correspondence.

Documentation​

Must have a project masterfile as the single source of truth anyone can read in isolation, interpret progress and take decisive positive action:

  • What critical decisions had been made and why
  • What progress had been made
  • Who owned/owns responsibility for what
  • Who were the critical connections with the Customer and Suppliers
  • Critical milestones on critical path to success
  • Engineering and financial plans for critical path
  • Dead line for completion and expected targets for success
