Productivity at work

Longer the workday, however does not mean more productive. About the same amount of productive work gets done in either case with a shorter workday and less relaxation in-between work. More emphasis on quality and individual work time. Often we treat working more like a social atmosphere, and less like a workplace.

Value of Time

Time is more valuable than skill, money, and almost any other resource. Why? Because with enough time, you can hone skills, raise capital, nurture relationships, and find what is required for an exceptional life. You can always acquire more material things, but you cannot invent more time. When we place a value on our time, we become aware of how we spend it – what we’re doing and how we do it.The way we use our time is directly related to how we value it.

GrandFather Mountain Hike

This in my opinion was one of the most sternous hikes . Started off at the Profile Trail categorised sternous 3.1 miles. One of John Muir's writing on the trail

Posing besides a huge rock.

Reached the Grandfather Trail categorized sternous 2.4 miles. This was more sternous than Profile Trail and had ropes and ladders.

On the Grandfather trail. Lots of rocks to climb.

Self Maintenance and Success

Maintenance requires discipline, routine, and brutal self-honesty. The challenge of exercising regularly, adhering to core values, eating healthy, honoring commitments, and engaging in personal reflection and evaluations. “Maintenance” embodies a consistent commitment to the long-term. The only difference between “luck” and “skill" is consistency. So you will need discipline and consistency for any kind of success. Also remember that every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.

Children

Overprotectiveness of children will hurt them in the long run by making them less resilient. Also must teach them best practices early for example, on how to introduce themselves to adults if you want your child to become skilled in the activity.

FireFights at work

Situations occur in which problems arise that require an immediate fix and very soon, we end up spending more time extinguishing fires than doing actual work.The fix is oftentimes a temporary patch that soon becomes permanent until another firefight alters it to become a double-patch, and so on. This is highly likely to increase technical debt. This is a main contributor of high levels of inefficiency and poor quality.

To avoid this, management must promote a culture of good-quality code that doesn't generate fires and for having good discipline, such as code-review, peer/SME guidance and sustainable work that doesn't require spikes of long hours and hard work.
