Focus on the outcome, not the deadline…
When deadlines are tight and project details are unclear, it's easy to get overwhelmed.
Instead of dwelling on potential consequences, focus on the outcome you want to achieve.
Your brain will naturally gravitate towards ways of achieving it, ensuring you maintain your wellbeing in the process.
At the end of the week, I like to make a statement about breaking the connection from work.
Some people might do it with a nice cold one, and who could blame them…
For me, it's a celebration of getting out of that chair, moving around and being more active.
Today, it will be a gym workout
Sometimes, it's a short run
Other times, it's a walk

"Most developers, when exploring an unfamiliar API, do not start with the documentation. They type an object name, hit Ctrl + Space, and scan the list of suggestions. That list becomes both documentation and user guide."
Designing APIs explicitly for this workflow is not something I have thought about before. But he has.

Going for a swim
Going for a run
These are great, but if you're just getting started with your fitness, they might feel daunting…
