Overlooked Ventures

Great founders are great at focus. When I started building @Reddit, I sucked at focus. I had to learn. Being great at focus means having excellent task management skills. What does that look like? The basics of task management are pretty well-known at this point. You set goals for the year and the quarter, and then review those goals every quarter. Every task should ladder up to a project. Every project should ladder up to a goal for the quarter. The quarterly goals should mean you hit your year-end goals. Not always easy, but pretty straightforward. What founders sometimes get wrong is that they think of task management as a set of hard rules that can't be changed. The opposite is actually true. The secret to successful task management is actually flexibility, powered by timely transparency. Flexibility helps you account for reality. Neither business or real life are not 100% predictable. Emergencies come up and you need to handle those with grace for yourself and your team. But even with emergencies, 80% of your focus can still be on your goals. Transparency helps create accountability for goals and keeps everybody on the same page if things change. It should exist at the level of the organization AND the individual team member. You should always be asking: What were we trying to do last week? Did we hit those goals? If not, what needs to change? From there – and this is what most miss – it's important that *everybody* within the organization has access to those conversations to ensure your team is on the same page. At the end of the day, great task management is a discipline. Like a muscle, you need to use it continually in order to keep it strong.
