How to work with Jon^※

My work hours

I strive to maintain a healthy work-life balance. We also recently (2023 April) had a baby. In service of that effort, for my primary employment I try to be available 20 hours per week, around the babe's schedule.

What’s the best way to communicate with me?

I'm a bit hard of hearing and a bit of a stutterer, so I prefer written to spoken communication. I check the following in order of frequency:

1. CMI-CNL Slack
2. text messages
3. work (@childmind.org) email
4. GitHub issues
5. other Slack workspaces
6. Brainhack Mattermost
7. personal (@vasegurt.com) email

If I don’t respond, try:

1. ^※
2. reaching out to someone else relevant to the question / project
3. sending me a reminder

What makes me grumpy?

Demands for action combined with unwillingness to explain the target of said action.

How do I like to give feedback?

Timely, constructively, and specifically.

How do I like to receive feedback?

Specifically, action-oriented, and visually.
