If someone can do the task at 80% of your standard, delegate it.
That last 20% often costs you:
Time
Energy
Focus
š Perfectionism is expensive.

One thing he recommends is "Always be available". I agree. From lead to project in less than an hour
One of the most common issues I see in teams:
Tasks are everywhere but ownership is nowhere.
A task is:
ā mentioned in Slack
ā partially written in Notion
ā discussed in a call
...and then forgotten.
What actually works is simple:
ā¢ One place for tasks
ā¢ Clear ownership
ā¢ Defined way to assign work
No complexity needed, just structure.
Most teams donāt need more tools.
They need better systems.
New to posting in Contra! Breaking the ice with a Brand Identity Battle āļø
A furniture startup, Korven, recently hired us to build their visual world. Their mission? High-end, sculptural wooden furniture (starting with these Noguchi-esque coffee tables) at an attainable price point ($180ā$200 USD). Theyāre launching with coffee tables but have a roadmap to expand into side tables and full architectural wood elements.
The Dilemma:
Weāre split on the visual strategy. Bold, geometric and authoritative vs rounded, modern and tactile.
The Question:
When a product looks like a $2,000 sculpture but costs $200, which identity builds more trust?
š Vote A or B. If the answer is "Neither," tell us why. Be brutal!
