Document Summary
Lecture, reading/chapter/novel/article during class, power point, movies (if need to collect info. ) Saying no is necessary to move forward: your priority list is small, so say no to anything extraneous from that. Momentum: more focus, energy, and motivation devoted on a few prioritized tasks rather than a whole multitude of mess to handle at the same time. Mastering the many ways to say no: no, since it doesn"t fit our priorities, explain why current priorities are good to counter alternatives. Engage with other ideas that may be better: no, only if we have time, some good ideas don"t make the cut. Next release: postpone some new feature until a later date. Really: some requests are fundamentally out of line with the long-term goals that you have to say. Guerilla tactics: savvier tactics, know who has authority. Convince someone who can influence decisions and bring them to meetings: go to the source.
