Abdinasir is one of our new full stack developers we’re testing out working with, and during one of our chats, he told me his schedule had been super hectic, but rather than try to juggle everything, Abdinasir said he was able to set himself up for success by assessing what he needed and wanted to do, breaking his time down into chunks or blocks, and assigning those blocks to certain activities so he could focus completely and put his whole self into them, performing his best, and enjoying his time to the fullest.
During that time, I also had a hectic week near the end. I had to cancel a 6-7 hour schedule on Thursday to set up Ugeddit’s webinars, and then on Friday had 5 meetings about planning Agile epics, exploring grant opportunities for Ugeddit, and planning our first webinars with potential speakers and topics.
But then even though I had many things to do on Saturday, I decided to take a step back, and relax. I ignored my schedule’s exact timings and just let my mind settle before taking any action or even before thinking about anything specific, until my mind was fully settled on the top priority, and I saw the path ahead to completing it and where it leads.
I disregarded my schedule because I had my agenda in my head as my path, and just focused on my current step on that path, until the next, until the next, and I did everything extremely calmly and smoothly.It felt great, and I performed great.
The most surprising part was that after I finished everything, I checked the time, expecting I had finished late, but actually I had finished almost exactly on time (within 10 minutes of my schedule). This reminded me of the importance of what I’d been reminding myself the past month: settle my mind on what’s most important, plan the road towards it, and focus on the step just in front of me until it’s done.
That moment, and the rest of my day, felt awesome.
Hi there, i read your blog from time to time
and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam feedback?
If so how do you stop it, any plugin or
anything you can suggest? I get so much lately it’s
driving me insane so any support is very much appreciated.
I am sure this post has touched all the internet visitors,
its really really good piece of writing on building up new web site.
I have been surfing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It is pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all site
owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will
be a lot more useful than ever before.
What’s up, yup this article is really fastidious and I have learned lot of things from it on the
topic of blogging. thanks.
Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m
having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
I am really enjoying the theme/design of your website.
Do you ever run into any browser compatibility issues? A number of
my blog visitors have complained about my blog not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox.
Do you have any tips to help fix this issue?
Wonderful blog you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any forums that cover
the same topics discussed in this article? I’d really like to
be a part of group where I can get feed-back from other experienced people that share the same interest.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks a lot!

read. I appreciate you for sharing!
I’m not sure where you are getting your info, but great topic.
