Information Sponge
Starting with a new job means that you’re going to get a whole lot of new information to process. Through the years I’ve developed my own way of handling with these warehouses of information that need to be stored in my head.
Probably the most important thing to do is to carefully plan the information injections so that you don’t OD in the first few weeks. One of the things I use is having a maximum of 3 interviews a day with at least 1 hour of rest in between to process what I’ve learned and heard.
A typical day at work would look something like this:
08:00-09:00 process news/email/other incoming information
09:00-11:00 create
11:00-12:00 interview 1
12:00-13:00 process
13:00-13:30 lunch
13:30-14:30 interview 2
14:30-15:30 process
15:30-16:30 interview 3
16:30-17:30 process
