Whether you’re talking to a colleague, a close friend, or even a perfect stranger, the conversation often is the same.“How’s it going?” “Good! Just busy.”This refrain is the default for so many people in our personal and professional circles.However, busyness shouldn’t be viewed as a status symbol — it doesn’t make us happier, and it doesn’t make us more productive. It often means we are just misusing our time.Years ago, in one of our quarterly offsite meetings, a leadership team member told our facilitator, “I just don’t have enough time.” The facilitator looked at her, then at all of us, and said, “As a leader, ‘not enough time’ is an excuse you all must take out of your vocabulary. If you are waiting for all this free time to come, it’s never going to happen. It’s about what you prioritize and how you (...)

The misunderstood 15 hour workweek of John Maynard KeynesThe promised 15 hour workweek came, but no one noticed it.John Maynard Keynes (1883–1946)In 1930, British economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that technological change and productivity improvements would eventually lead to a 15 hour workweek. But today most of the people still work 40 hours or more per week.So what happened or did something happen?I bet most of you haven’t heard of this prediction before. Why? Well because most people would say that John Maynard Keynes was wrong. Since, when you look around you see that most people are not anywhere close to 15 hour workweek, even 40 hour workweek is seen as luxury, and the reality is being somewhere around 50 hours. Right? No, Wrong.That’s not how to verify a theoryLet’s take an (...)

How Not to Create Your #portfolio as A Developer

Why I Did It Anyway, and Why You Shouldn’tMany developers have some sort of website. I always had one too. It’s a space on the web where you get to describe yourself. Unlike with Twitter profiles, you get to set the frame and present a neutral picture of yourself.It’s important to me that people who are googling my name quickly know who I am and what I’m working on. They also shouldn’t have to rely on search to find all my social profiles.That’s why my previous website looked like that:I really liked it. It did all the things I wanted it to do. But we both know that it’s not a portfolio. That’s okay. Personal websites don’t have to be portfolios, but I still wanted one. I wanted it for the same reason most other people create one: For finding a job (Yes, you can hire me).What was wrong with my (...)

Photo by Uroš Jovičić on UnsplashIt’s just another morning and I started from my house to office in my Scooter and I hit a bad traffic that makes me wait for a couple of minutes. Those minutes, as you know, are the hardest to spend. I like driving fast in a free lane with no need to hit brakes, because I don’t like waiting on the road. It’s just waiting on the road, I don’t like waiting at all. I call someone and then the first ring goes, the call wasn’t picked up and then the second ring goes, then call wasn’t picked up and before the third ring starts, my brain tells me that it’s disappointed waiting. Oh, is it it all? I order food and the delivery guy takes couple of more minutes than I anticipated (in fact, I’d overestimated the delivery time, but never mind) and I’m disappointed with the (...)
