Write down a list of goals for your average week that includes both management and technical items. That might include things like one-on-ones, team meetings, or scheduling; along with planning the architecture for the next big feature and preforming code reviews. Finally, set your expectations and communicate them to your team and elsewhere. Ensure that everyone knows where your priorities are and why. This prevents miscommunication over why you aren’t handling things others might expect from you. Write these priorities down in a clear way that you can reference.
