This Issue's Wonder Woman: Tammie Lister

​

I am a product creator focusing on WordPress. I have a hybrid background across product, design, psychology and engineering. My passion is making and building with open source at the heart. I love a roadmap but I also adore experimentation and the pace of rapid prototyping. I contribute as a core committer and I am passionate about communities. When not making products I can be found drinking tea, creating art and making things out of yarn either in crochet or knitting.

What is your mantra?

Keep curious, keep doing each day and keep experimenting.

Tell us 3-5 tech tools that you swear by that make life & work a little easier.

My remarkable tablet which I have my bullet journal in and take all notes, having something that just does one thing focuses me. Spotify for the tunes, specifically I adore the daylists, but I constantly make up playlists. Working to music helps me so much. Grammarly continues to help me daily.

What's in your mug/glass/bottle during work hours?

Tea, specifically green tea. I value tea breaks in my day and moments of reflection to pause, sip and just be.

What's in your mug/glass/bottle after hours?

Chamomile tea. I stopped drinking a while ago and love either that tea or this blend from a tea shop called Bird and Blend that is 'Dozy Girl' which drifts me off nicely as the day closes.

Knowing what you do now, what advice would you give to your younger self?

You will find and end up on the path you don't expect, so don't stress finding that path too soon. Just enjoy the grass growing around you for a bit before you need to run through it. Everything has a cycle and sometimes it is your time to recharge not run.
