In recent weeks: Not having a plan.

Our manager was on vacation for a few weeks and so everyone was kind of just doing whatever they wanted. We're a software dev team, so one colleague was working on UI, another colleague was working on authentication and a third worked on some showcase.

Now our manager is back and we did planning and it's like, that showcase isn't relevant until the end of the next milestone, and we're not going to need the backend, nor its UI+authentication for the next two milestones.
Only really my work is directly relevant, because I did the incredible strategy of working towards the bare minimum we need.

I kind of don't care, if we're inefficient. It's not my job to manage the place. But I hate not knowing what I should work towards.
