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.
Greetings I am so thrilled I found your blog page, I really
found you by error, while I was browsing on Bing for something else, Anyhow I am here now and would just like to say thanks a
lot for a marvelous post and a all round interesting
blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t
have time to go through it all at the moment but I have saved
it and also added in your RSS feeds, so when I
have time I will be back to read a lot more,
Please do keep up the excellent work.
It’s actually a cool and useful piece of information. I’m satisfied that
you shared this helpful information with us. Please keep us informed like this.
Thank you for sharing.
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as
though you relied on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos
to your weblog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
Having read this I thought it was very enlightening.
I appreciate you spending some time and energy
to put this article together. I once again find myself personally
spending a significant amount of time both reading and leaving comments.
But so what, it was still worth it!
obviously like your web site but you need to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts.
Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I to find
it very troublesome to tell the truth then again I will certainly come again again.
Thanks designed for sharing such a nice thinking, article is nice, thats why i have read it completely
A fascinating discussion is worth comment. I do believe that you ought
to write more on this subject matter, it may not be a taboo
matter but typically people don’t talk about such topics.
To the next! Many thanks!!
Wow that was strange. I just wrote an extremely long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear.
Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyhow, just wanted to say excellent blog!
Hiya! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask.
Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or
vice-versa? My blog goes over a lot of the same subjects as
yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other.
If you are interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
You should be a part of a contest for one of the most useful
websites on the internet. I will highly recommend this
website!
