Human-First Systems Design Series

Busywork. Administrivia. Metrics about the metrics. Meetings about the meetings. These are the bedrock of organizational administrivia. But the busywork doesn’t stop at the organizational firewall. It migrates into every aspect of applications, environments, and platforms…even search engine optimization (SEO).

 

How Does Busywork Creep Into SEO?

Learn how to navigate digital systems—SEO, posting schedules, micro-managers, and bureaucracies—without losing your sanity, creativity, or human-first priorities.

• Each article is a “lesson from the trenches” showing how real humans interact with rigid systems.
• This series highlight the absurdities, pokes the compliance theater, and gives actionable insight on when to follow “rules” and when to ignore them.
• It celebrates best practices, efficiency, humor, and authority, not just technical wins or viral posts.

 

Series Highlights

• Doing It Right Award – Yandex pop-up transparency (clarity wins).
• The SEO Treadmill – Keyword density and arbitrary word-count rules.
• Valuable vs. Performative Compliance – Compliance that matters vs busywork that doesn’t.
• Human-First Posting Strategy – Timing, schedule, and algorithmic obedience in perspective.

 

Back to Common Sense Design Principles

What will readers get from the Anti-Busywork Series?

• ADA and accessibility compliance done right (without ridiculous padding).
• Case studies where human-first thinking actually beats algorithmic ritual.
• Micro-managers and moving goalposts in tech, ops, and internal systems.
