s01e05: on Yak shaving
Episode 5
Monday, 26 October, 2020

In this episode, we discuss the anti-pattern that is "yak shaving" - getting lost in work that seems valuable but is ultimately just distracting you from your goal. This can halt momentum in a change initiative as people get lost amongst vast yak farms of waste. Show notes: Seth Godin on Yak Shaving Ren & Stimpy episode on Yak Shaving Day (inspiration for term) Asterix & the 12 tasks Malcolm in the middle - "did you change the lightbulb?"
