My time tracking categories

Team Responsiveness
- Being responsive to the team's needs when they specifically tag me for my input or involvement in something.
Thinking & Creation
- Reflecting on the various challenges and opportunities that exist, and making contributions towards strategy, team alignment, and systemic improvement. This also includes any projects I have chosen to take on myself, e.g. Salary System.
Social / Brand Building
- Putting time into building and maintaining my online presence, and with it, building Buffer's brand and dogfooding the product.
Context Gathering
- Time in the details, reading updates, and soaking up context. This enhances my strategic decision making, and as part of focus I regularly share small course corrections to keep us on track and provide micro feedback.
Management
- Time in 1:1 meetings and writing up performance feedback (i.e. Reflections) to help the team grow and level up as leaders and practitioners.
External Responsiveness
- Being responsive to external stakeholders (e.g. customers, investors) when they contact me.
Productivity Improvements
- Time spent on improving § My productivity system and § My note taking system, so that I can expand my capacity for all the other categories over time.
