I suspect the solution is to go with a <a href=\"https:\/\/mmitii.mattballantine.com\/2018\/03\/23\/weeknote-379-welsh-wales\/\" title=\"Matt Ballantine: Weeknote 379: Welsh Wales\">Matt Ballantine<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@NorthernWrites\/weeknotes10-silent-screaming-d39dda575f79?source=linkShare-eea216fb294f-1521919390\" title=\"Chris King: WeekNotes10 \u2014 Silent Screaming\">Chris King<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@dave.floyd\/week-25-1be05929d6f4?source=linkShare-eea216fb294f-1521919486\" title=\"Dave Floyd: Week 25\">Dave Floyd<\/a>-style set of bullets and still try to keep it away from the cryptic (as <em>I<\/em> need to be able to remember what I was on about even if nobody else does). So&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I\u2019m drowning in email and am not effectively dealing with moving forward on all fronts. It\u2019s not nice to be chased up on things. It felt so great <a href=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/2018\/03\/11\/weeknote-8-overflow\/\" title=\"Weeknote 8 \u2014 Overflow\">a couple of weeks back<\/a> to spend a whole Saturday catching up a little and having a big block of uninterrupted time to think and create; I worry that this ends up being the answer, having to do the strategic stuff outside of the usual hours.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Our software rollout is going reasonably well but I feel we are walking a fine line between \u2018good enough for now\u2019 and \u2018too many niggles for too many people\u2019. When you have someone at your desk saying that they have an issue which means they can\u2019t work, you have to prioritise them over the strategic longer-term stuff. One or two users seem to have <em>all<\/em> of the problems and are doing their best to keep cool about it, but it\u2019s hard. We need to invest in enough improvement in what people are using today in order to buy ourselves some more headroom to get other things done. I\u2019m quietly confident that we know what to do and with some help from our suppliers we can make good progress over the coming week.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>I completely missed someone feeling bad when they left one of my team meetings this week and only found out later. I think I can read people very well and had no idea at the time. When things like this happen, putting it right has to jump straight to the top of the list. We all need to feel valued, even more so when we put so much effort and pride into our work.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>This week\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/wb40podcast.com\/2018\/03\/19\/episode-59-monitoring\/\" title=\"WB40 episode 59 \u2014 Monitoring\">WB40 podcast interview<\/a> mentioned the \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Netflix\/chaosmonkey\" title=\"GitHub: Netflix Chaos Monkey\">chaos monkeys<\/a>\u2019 where IT teams deliberately inject random failures into the production system to ensure that it is resilient. No team I have worked in has ever come close to even considering the concept, let alone implementing it. I think you would have to be one hell of a high-performing team with a significant amount of senior management trust to be able to spend time and effort on it.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>I still love being a school governor. It\u2019s been a privilege this week to spend time with the Headteacher on her interim appraisal and to take stock of where we are. Most of our Governing Board worked together one evening this week in a facilitated session to review our self-evaluation; the bottom line is that we\u2019re doing pretty well but are not standing still and want to continue to improve. We never usually get time to discuss and reflect on <em>how<\/em> we work as a group so it was great to do this.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Had a horrible sinking feeling on Monday night when I sent out materials for our governor meeting and couldn\u2019t find any evidence of asking the team to put it in their diaries. Went to bed feeling terrible that I was so disorganised. Discovered the next day that I <em>had<\/em> let them know. Is this what getting old feels like?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>I was flattered to be asked whether I\u2019d like to consider becoming a <em>Hertfordshire Leader of Governance<\/em> but something tells me taking on even more things right now would be silly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Books are my weakness. I was roped into a \u201812 issues for \u00a312\u2019 <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\" title=\"Economist\">Economist<\/a><\/em> subscription on my way to work because they waved a free book in my face.

My eyes are now falling out of my head but it didn\u2019t disappoint, there was enough action and drama to get us going. Having to subscribe to everything on Sky Sports just to watch the F1 is daylight robbery at effectively \u00a320 a race but I do love it.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Personal fitness seems to have gone onto the back burner once more.

Fantastic job by all the children. As great as the event is, the organisers seem hell-bent on creating a real festival atmosphere by providing just a dozen or so portaloos for 2,000 children and their parents with inevitable giant queues as a result.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4031\" src=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/E170A00B-17B8-48AC-BC83-527014C4F4F7.jpeg\" width=\"2656\" height=\"2656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/E170A00B-17B8-48AC-BC83-527014C4F4F7.jpeg 2656w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/E170A00B-17B8-48AC-BC83-527014C4F4F7-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/E170A00B-17B8-48AC-BC83-527014C4F4F7-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/E170A00B-17B8-48AC-BC83-527014C4F4F7-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/E170A00B-17B8-48AC-BC83-527014C4F4F7-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/E170A00B-17B8-48AC-BC83-527014C4F4F7-1200x1200.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2656px) 100vw, 2656px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Playing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forzamotorsport.net\/en-US\/games\/fm6\" title=\"Forza Motorsport 6\">Forza Motorsport 6<\/a> online with a (cheap, ridiculously large) headset with three of my oldest pals is hilarious and very addictive.
