Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions | Winston Weinberg

the next, you know, year or two years are basically gonna define the companies that are successful for the next decade, probably, right, if not more. I wanna double click on this massive two hundred page, four hundred page Google document that you have. How would you describe that to somebody and how do you use it? So basically I mean, I can break down the whole document. So at the top it basically has like the couple things that I want to remember, right? Um you know, kinda like motivational things. Some of the ones that I I care about the most are prioritization. Like this is something I think people have a really hard time with is every, you know, like three to six months, you have to completely redo how you do prioritization as a leader, I think. And if you don't, you're really gonna start messing things up. And then it has the top three documents that I care about tracking. Um and so it, you know, if I'm concerned about a certain part of the org, then it will have, you know, like a revenue tracker. If I'm super concerned about like uh post sales or we need to do much better like customer service on the back of things like that, it'll have a document there that has like a bunch of stats on that, right? And then under that, it'll have what are the three goals for the quarter.

And Almost always it's usually like one higher uh like one product feature. I mean we ship now we're getting to the point where shipping like four new products every quarter, um, which is awesome. But you know, the one I care about the most or I I need to focus on the most, and then like one major area of the company I need to fix. And then after that it will have my daily list.

And I think the the thing that's good about it, like all of the company dashboard stuff and motivation, like I think everyone has their version of that. The thing that I think is actually good is every day I rank everything I need to do. And so it's daily and then I refresh it and then I cross them out. And the re ranking is I think really important because what I've found is the more times I click into that doc that's called the list and I re rank something, the more I think about what I'm doing. Like meta thought about My thoughts.
