Industry agnostic managerial advice:
Always keep a list of your todos religiously updated
Triage them at the start of the day and decide what absolutely needs to get done. Focus on the 80/20
Do NOT allow yourself to get dragged into inconsequential things that do not move the needle meaningfully
Push tasks downstream that can be pushed relentlessly
Do not let anyone interrupt you unless it's critical - otherwise you'll never get deep work done. Use scheduled time for this to catch up with direct reports.
----
So many employees are bad at time management, even if you do not have direct reports...try to be acutely aware of the leverage points in your work. IE what moves the needle and makes you a good asset.
I jerk off at least twice a day. Once in the morning right after I work out, then once right after lunch.
I want to. That's not why I do it. I do it 'cause I fucking need to.
Think about it. You're dealing with numbers. All day long, decimal points, high frequencies. Bang, bang, bang. Fucking digits.
