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.
It’s an amazing paragraph for all the internet people; they will take benefit
from it I am sure.
Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using?
I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most
blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Hi there, for all time i used to check blog posts here early in the daylight, since i love to gain knowledge of more and more.
Hello there, just became aware of your blog through Google,

I will be grateful if you continue this in future.

These are genuinely wonderful ideas in on the topic of blogging.
You have touched some fastidious points here. Any way keep up wrinting.
Its such as you read my thoughts! You appear to understand so much about this, such
as you wrote the guide in it or something. I feel that you just can do with a few percent to pressure the message home a
bit, however other than that, that is great blog.
A great read. I will certainly be back.
Hey there! I simply want to give you a huge thumbs up
for your great information you have here on this post.
I’ll be coming back to your site for more soon.
First of all I would like to say terrific blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if
you don’t mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself
and clear your thoughts before writing. I have had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas
out. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost
simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips?
Thanks!
