No fancy productivity apps.
Here’s what actually works at Rietek:
- One shared Trello board — if it’s not on the board, it doesn’t exist
- Code in 90-minute focused sprints, 10-minute walk outside, repeat
- No meetings longer than 15 minutes (we live in the same house anyway)
- Ship something tiny every single day — even if it’s just one bug fix to FullAlert
- Friday 4 pm rule: laptops close, family braai starts
Habits compound
Tools come and go. Habits compound.
