“Stop trying to make fetch happen.” – Regina George
The other day I caught myself working and reworking on a particular problem.
I noticed that after a few hours of work, I was looking at something that didn’t look like the type of product I would usually release.
In that hesitation, I called a colleague for feedback.
“Hey, does the way I’m presenting this look right? Or am I trying to make fetch happen?”
In this case, I was exhausted with the problem and introduced change just so I could see something new. What the product needed was a simpler, cleaner display.
This served as a good reminder. Who is the change for? And by introducing that change, are you adding value?
