- Rounding some CTAs
- Adding in a little 'easter egg' you know your users will love
Prioritization in a Startup
- Big new features
- New marketing efforts
- Outreach
The Daily Struggle
Inspiration from Loops
The Solution: Monthly Polish
- Adding to the List: As we go through the month, when we spot something we want to change or tweak we add it to this list.
- These are things that, if we didn't get to in the month or even the next month, it wouldn't be an issue.
- Nothing in the list can take more than 30 minutes to implement individually.
- We add things in an approximate priority order (but it's very rough and ready).
- Polish Day: Then one day in that month we have a 'polish' day, where it is a challenge for @RaineyAllDay to clear off as many of these items as possible going from top to bottom in the list.
- Wherever he gets to in the day is then the start of the list for the next month.
