    I think I would avocate actually against processes. Processes are nice, handy, and sage, but that assumes you have unlimited time. A baby crying and death approaching really make you rethinking useless 1-1s and meetings.

    This is a really well-written short article, and I agree with it completely.

    I just wanted to add as well that, as someone who has read quite a lot of books on self-help and productivity, there is one that makes a lot of similar points: "Triggers: Creating Behavior That Lasts--Becoming the Person You Want to Be"

    https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/22544758-triggers

    I recommend it to anyone who agrees with this article and feels like a book-length treatment of similar ideas would be helpful to them.

    Why not letting Google Maps decide?
