WHAT TO EXPECT
Most advice jumps straight to fixing. This is the part before that.
The moment where things start to make sense again. A Little Unscattered is where I unpack the patterns that make small-team work harder than it needs to be.
Decisions that keep getting reopened. Priorities that somehow all became urgent. Work living in somebody’s head. Teams trying to do more than they realistically have capacity for.
The weird little things that quietly make everything feel messier.
I write about five topics to help you get unscattered.
Figure out what actually matters when everything claims it does.
01
PRIORITIES
OWNERSHIP
Make it clear who owns what, instead of relying on the same dependable people to carry everything.
02
Make the work easier to repeat, share, document, and hand off.
03
SYSTEMS
RHYTHMS
Build around the humans you actually have, not the imaginary team in your head.
04
CAPACITY
Create a steadier way for work to move, so everything doesn't become urgent.
05
“One of my professional highlights for the year was getting to know and learn from Kris.”
WHAT TO EXPECT
The patterns I see again & again.
The ones worth noticing before you add another meeting or color-coded spreadsheet.
Everything feels urgent when nothing is clearly prioritized.
If ownership is fuzzy, the same dependable people end up carrying everything.
Work living in someone’s head is not a system.
More effort rarely fixesunclear work.
Capacity problems have a funny way of disguising themselves as productivity problems.
Usually a few minutes to read. Always something you can actually use.
Nothing changes all at once.
But this is usually where it starts.
A little clarity for the work behind the work.
