• lead or be led - actively advocate for yourself or you won't get what you want out of your experiences. you have far more information to determine how to prioritize than they do about you.
• topic sentences. write the first for each paragraph, them flesh all of the bodies out.
• managers are IO machines. your best use of them isn't to prove that you are productive; rather, it's to show up with something to answer questions and receive feedback
  • assume they forgot the last meeting
  • bring things to talk about and a goal
  • 3-4 sentences refreshing everyone
  • what did you do? what worked? what did not? what do you do next?
  • have something tangible - a demo or visual aid
• daily progress tracking - a feq quick bullet points to summarize what you did that day, every day. trace progress towards goals!
