That's the mantra I use when the team tells me something is too complicated. People keep saying, 'We need more prioritization.' I say, 'Guys, what you want is less work. And that is not going to happen.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
From a productivity perspective, prioritization is key. And it's very easy to focus on clearing the decks of minutia, especially when one's very busy.
The bottom line is, when people are crystal clear about the most important priorities of the organization and team they work with and prioritized their work around those top priorities, not only are they many times more productive, they discover they have the time they need to have a whole life.
I play a complicated position in an intensely team-oriented game.
The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.
My No. 1 priority, and it always has been this, is keeping our team together and making sure we have the right guys in the right positions to make a run at this for a long time.
I think it's an extremely important factor to have your team together. It goes back to having distractions. When you all stay together for a period of time you're not training people or feeling out different personalities.
When you wait to the last minute, you rush to get things done, and the closer you get to the deadline, the less options you have.
It takes the pressure off of your better players to know they don't always have to be on top of their game for the team to do well.
On my team, we prioritize merits over politics.
When you have too much scheme, sometimes it's hard to work on all the things you have to, and you can make effort the top priority of your game.
