+# resyncing
+
+communication patterns for staying aligned with teammates. more bandwidth in comms is always better.
+
+## core principle
+
+meet often, be as synced as possible. many times everyone's instinct is to split things up equally — feels bad because sum of parts equals whole, just multiprocessing but worse. the alternative: resync often so you're actually building on each other's work.
+
+## tools
+
+### sync meetings
+structured check-ins where you present findings, discuss next steps, argue without getting personal. at the neurotech startup, we had Tuesday morning "takeoff" meetings to sync on state. see [[startup-workflow]].
+
+### high-bandwidth communication
+articulating every piece of meta-data you observe from the other person. this sounds exhausting but it's the CEO's concept — most misinterpretations come from not sharing enough of what you're seeing. often we're wrong about what we think the other person is thinking, and only by articulating it do we find out.
+
+### "short circuit"
+a communication tool that means either:
+- "i don't know what you mean" — stop, rewind, explain differently
+- "discussing this doesn't matter right now; let's just do the thing"
+
+this is incredibly useful for cutting through circular arguments or confusion. instead of nodding along or getting frustrated, you just say "short circuit" and the conversation resets.
+
+## the split-up problem
+
+at school, sometimes i look down on people and try to do a lot of work myself. this is bad. the better move is to invest in [[team-dynamics]] and work together with high bandwidth, not to silo.
+
+## effective communication checklist
+- sync up meetings
+- present findings
+- discuss next steps
+- argue without getting personal (see [[feedback-and-honesty]])
+- use "short circuit" when needed
