Time fucking management, this is something I've been learning my whole life, and I concede it's like trying to hold back the ocean.

First of all, TFM's non-linear: 45 minutes at the Github drinkup is probably worth more than your average afternoon working hard on some TDD. Or vice versa.

But when you do something (on purpose) the big secret, or so I've heard, is to work on stuff that matters.

The hard part is figuring out what's important. Sometimes it's particulars like performance optimization or documentation. Or a shared vision could be enough. You may want to do something completely different, like magic awesome gestural video remixing, or robot mating rituals. Or ice sculpture, which rules.

You only live once, so you may as well #leanintoit, whatever it is.
