Why this page
🧑🏻🤝🧑🏼 A project is just people.
❤️🩹 Most technical problems are caused by people problems.
🐱 One main goal of Zenned is to create a positive environment where people feel free to try their ideas.
Have a vision
🎯 What is the simplest thing that will do it?
🤯 Breakthrough ideas may be completely different of what everyone else is doing, or thinks is appropiate.
⚖️ Embrace that every choice has pros and cons, and that you decide what to favor.
Define the path
👁️ Everyone must observe the real thing directly, to truly understand its nature.
📉 Start deciding and acting on the most important and feasible aspects. Let the details unroll afterwards, and become progressively more attainable.
🧪 You can’t anticipate many outcomes. Trial and error is paramount. Have a stable base, with some experimental over it.
Qualify your interlocutor
🎣 There is no easier fish to fish than the fish that wants to be fished.
🤩 Instead of trying to convince random people, discover who and what they are willing to do by themselves.
🤝🏽 Think about the deal that benefits both sides.
🤔 Often people need to sit with what has been talked to make their mind, rather than getting more info.
Ritchness comes from differences
🧠 Conversations are just brainstorming.
👂🏽 Before forming an opinion, listen deeply and discover the underlying motivations.
👆🏽 Rather than commands and judgements, make suggestions and give options.
❓ Rather than statements, make naïve questions.
🙂↕️ Start with what you can agree with.
Existence is imperfect
🎯 Focus on the desired outcome, rather than what is wrong with the current one.
🟰 Some choices don’t really matter that much. They are trade-offs, tied to personal preference.
🧯 Mistakes aren’t something to avoid, but to expect. The question is acting to solve them.
⌛ A problem is a problem only if it is for the present time.
Write clear
🌟 The purpose of communication is clarity.
💬 Write in a way that sounds natural when read aloud.
🩲 Write in the shortest way that is understandable.
🧑🔬 Use technical jargon or extra words only when it simplifies the message.
🫧 Break elements into the smallest parts.
Error into nice
🤌🏽 Anything that you want to express has a constructive variant.
⏮️ If someone is rude, ask them to express openly but in the constructive variant.
🙃 Compensate the lack of non verbal cues with politeness and emoji.
🙏🏽 Thank people and say why.
