Productivity and Relationships - a podcast by Kent C. Dodds

Hey there friends. So today I wanted to talk about something that was just
on my mind yesterday. I was meeting with one of my learning clubs friendswho were going through Epic React.dev and it was just so fun to talk with
them and things and they asked me about how I'm productive and and get a
lot of things done.And I mentioned that I I pretty much like over the last several years have
just made sure that everything that I do is has a I increase the value ofthe impact and I've got a blog post.About this on my blog. It's how I am so
predictive and it's interesting read you should go take a look at it but
one thing that I thought was interesting is as I was talking with them.I realized that maybe like three years ago or something. I would never have
agreed to do a like a small group chat without recording that chat andputting it on YouTube. This was like, I don't know there was seven or eight
people in this chat and it was just us talking it up and I I would haveagreed to it as fine years ago, but IAlways always would have recorded that
so that I could increase the impact of the value that I was creating.And I think there's something to be said for that but there's the reason
that I bring it up today is because I think there's something to be said
for just having genuine experiences between you know, just a handful ofpeople. So, you don't have to maximize the the impact of the value that
you're creating all of the time.
I think that it's really valuable to to do so and maybe have some sort of
deliverable out of things like you can take notes or something. But,Andyeah it was just it occurred to me that I just really enjoyed spending that
time talking with them, you know, and they're going through my material and
everything and so we're all kind of in the same context of what we're
talking about.So anyway, I guess the the takeaway for today is yes be productive yes
increase the impact of the value that you're creating but don't forget to
be a human to and just have enjoyable relationship building experienceswith other people because there's a lot to be said for that sort of.
Experience too. So, I hope that you're having a stellar day and I'll chat
with you tomorrow.
