Instead of always accepting someone’s answer or a team’s decision, ask them why.
They may be:
Receiving incorrect information
Interpreting the correct information incorrectly
Only by asking “why” do you understand why they made the decision they did. Then, you’re able to propose new information or interpretations of the situation. This way you’re also not assuming you know their decision criteria.
As always, please ask and discuss their thinking respectfully and assume positive intent, giving them grace and patience along the way.
This strategy is a simpler form of first principles thinking. Many have written about Elon Musk’s leverage of First Principle’s thinking. James Clear’s overview is a good place to start.
Every open app window is intentionally sized and arranged across that screen real estate. During the workday, I regularly connect and disconnect from these monitors. Even using Moom with keyboard shortcuts to quickly size and move windows, I don’t have time to constantly rearrange 15 app windows when I’m switching from external monitors to laptop.
This is where Stay saves me time. It remembers my window layout for every monitor and laptop configuration. When I unplug the monitors, windows automatically rearrange to the laptop-only layout. When I plug back into the monitors, I’m back to work in a couple of seconds.
I can’t recommend this app enough. My Macs are broken without it.
