On Work
July 16, 2021•127 words
As a developer I'm very capable of focusing on the details, digging through code and debugging issues one step at a time. Each step is calculated from the previous, not too much foresight required. Having to context switch to the big picture can get overwhelming. Some of that is working on things that I'm not comfortable with.
What did I do badly?
Unable to control the feeling of overwhelm.
What did I do well?
Finished reading the book and took the extra step to write a piece on it. Connected with people at jiu jitsu and was present and able to remember drills. Writing the journal.
What could I do differently?
Keep a level head when dealing with overwhelm. One step at a time.
