In this episode we'll talk about the importance to take the time to reflect and trying to get some insights about what we're currently working on.
Just taking 5 minutes every day is already immensely helpful and we can ask ourselves some questions that implicitly point us towards some improvement:
- Are you happy with how the day went? What went well, what didn't go well?
- Was your work purposeful today? Did you move the project, company, or endeavor forward?
- Did you make some improvement or long-term investment? What did you learn, from a technical, domain, or business perspective?
- What big or small problems did you solve? How did you tackle them?
- Is there something that should be documented? What would have helped you to know upfront?
- Is there something that should be automated?
- Is there something else to be improved, e.g. work environment, communication, or code quality?
- What was your energy level through the day? Would a different arrangement of your schedule have improved your productivity?
