The Rise and Fall of Getting Things Done

Talking on the phone at least means I can make a sandwich as we’re talking about what to talk about in the zoom meeting to have a briefing about the 2021 roadmap planning meeting.

Harder to do that over zoom because of an org policy that include the words “camera on”

My three month lockdown was basically "i don't have a camera", followed by "i'm waiting for the `amazon concurrent know to be slower` order to arrive" and then "sorry, this driver doesn't work on my kernel" (yes i did downgrade my kernel for this). By the end of the lockdown i still didn't have a camera and my manager stop caring.

I have the exact opposite experience. I can't have a phone call while doing something else since I don't have a hands-free set.

With a wireless headset connected to my computer I have much more freedom, and at least I can continue some low-key work during meetings which aren't all that interesting or have a lull

Probably a wireless USB headset that wouldn't work on their phone?

My phone can point at my ceiling with the camera on...
