I'm starting to get my life on track. I learned how insanely important initiative in life is. Being the guy who not only comes up with idea but also says "I'll do it" has immense value. I started leading a small team while being underqualified for the job and there were two things that greatly helped me understand the value of initiative. First was showing my boss a CI/CD pipeline that I implemented that everyone was talking about. That made my boss believe that I can do what I was talking about and consequently I have a free reign in implementing new changes (it helps that we're small software house). Second thing was talking with developers. A lot of them have ideas what they would like to see changed that would help them in their daily work but they also claim that they do not have time to make those changes (which is sometimes fair point). So we're sitting at a lot of great ideas that need 'just' implementing. Second thing I learned is the value of discipline and having a rhythm to your day. Wake up, eat breakfast, run your morning routine, go to work, go to gym, do evening stuff, run your before bed routine. Basically have a plan for your day. Like they say 'Failing to plan is planning to fail'. |
