Planning poker as a metaphor to say you don’t know. Safety environment. Being who you are and find spaces to communicate what you need. Non violent communication. I will discuss all of that in this episode. Let’s go!

That’s it. Make sure you care about your journeys. A victory or a defeat means just a step, a result, but it can’t define your journey. Make sure you understand the importance of living the process and learning during every experience.

The two aspects to have success running your side projects. Patience and persistence!

Don’t know about you but I believe we can’t plan our legacy. It’s about making sure we are doing things we believe. And making sure we are on track about things we care. Someday you will look back and see what you have done so far.

I talk a lot about work life balance, but here I am to tell you to take another look into that concept.

I came to understand that my life is always forcing me to one side.

I can't be balanced 100% of the time. Sometimes I need to work more than I wanted. Sometimes I'm tired, and I just can't do anything than doing nothing. And that's ok.

So I'm looking at this process as something more daily. I would like to practice programming every day. But I can't, because of other tasks I have to get done. So I'm getting conscious about what I am doing with my time during the day. And understanding how can I add programming practice as something important without sleeping less, without missing a meal and other things that are not negotiable.

So I'm not sad that I can't practice programming every day. It's a current fact, as of Jan 2020. I'm not going to solve that issue balancing my life, cause the balance never happens.

At this moment, I'm seeking to work less hours in clients to be able to research more and have more innovative / creativity time available. It's a process, not something I can balance.

Make sure you get more conscious about your day and your time. Start from that spot.

I’m learning again to play the drums, and using more of the process I’m using to practice basketball. I’m giving a lot of importance to fundamentals. Accourding to the dictionary, fundamentals: it’s a basic principle, rule, law, or the like, that serves as the groundwork of a system; essential part. Make sure you are giving enough attention to fundamentals!

Make sure that you are able to teach people about stuff you know and that you are able to find people to teach about what you want to know. Creating knowledge is a continuous process and it’s pure joy. Make knowledge explicit!

Making sure you are able to delivery quality work is key when thinking about sustainable pace. It’s not about doing less hours than needed. It’s about understanding your process and your team process, to execute, plan, reflect, improve and learn.

Don’t fake til you make it. That’s not fair to your story. Document and share your process. Don’t be aspirational. Be who you are. Be true to you.

Find people that can help you along the way. Those people will be mentors. They have real life experiences. Learning by doing is great but understanding by context is awesome!
