## What Jamie wrote

Super interesting mini-research report from Pike specifically focusing on leaders use of productivity methods. I would share Pike's surprise at how popular a single "Long-Ass Note" is. Tammy uses a "Long-Ass Note" and I’m always nudging about ways to do that "better". Her approach seems more common than mine. No real strong message around GTD here, other than concerns of overwhelm.

It doesn't surprise me that he found a love of time blocking. I think the positive aspects of time created for tasks is real, I use that myself. But I also think Pike doesn't highlight enough how critical it is to defensively block out some time. As a manager, your time will all get consumed if you leave it open. All of it. If you don't protect some time for what you need to get done, you will be crushed. Time blocking can do a bit of both.
