Check In
I'm glad that today (day 3 ) of this new way of doing my thing, is the first day that it all pretty much worked. I'm delighted that I have never been happier. I'm glad I took time to sketch out the skins, made things go a lot faster and smoother. I'm sad that my friend had a really hard time last year (lost his Mama - and now he is an orphan) and I knew nothing about it. I'm glad I took my breaks at the timer I'm very glad that I was able to do 60 pushups and 30 squats during my 10 minute breaks. I'm mad I didn't review my business model canvas as I had expected.I'm so in.
Desired Outcomes For Today
Two days of toil and I recognise the truth that my rebranding is not a 2-day job. I am at peace with that and very happy with the results so far. Therefore I am revising my outcomes. I expect to still be working on rebranding ServiceChat - specifically skinning the chat screens to make them responsive and to pare them down to the basics (ChittyChat has some bits I actually don't want in the MVP for ServiceChat).3 Things I Learned
- Progress is slow when I am learning how to do the work and doing the work. I must think about this, identify when this is the case and manage my expectations accordingly.
- My gut is very wise - it knows what I need
- Design takes time and thought (all kinds of design!)
3 Things I Will Improve On Before The Next Retro
- Reading a customer service oriented blog
- Getting out of bed on the first alarm.
- Get to bed before midnight (might help with above ;-)
Something I'm Grateful For
That, inspite of myself, I am able to learn new things and that I'm loving the process of learning. Awesome!Outcomes For Tomorrow
- The Chat screen completely restyled and working responsively on common handsets and browsers.
