As we grew, I assumed code or customer support would be the first “bottleneck.”
Wrong.
The hidden sink was time lost syncing tasks between email, Slack, docs and calendars.
We started experimenting with ways to make operations run quietly in the background — less status chasing, fewer pings.
Result: managers gained back 2–3 hrs/week.
Curious:
• Have you tracked how much time pure coordination costs you?
• What simple changes gave the best ROI (tools, rituals, habits)?
Would love to trade notes with anyone fighting the same battle.
