I’m still in it up to my neck and life is busy! But I’ve found being intentional about breaks and getting outside has been wonderful at keeping me grounded (pun intended).

⚙️ What I’m Working On

  • Focusing on building out some consulting offerings.
  • Rewriting a web application for a NZ club (Still - its nearly finished I promise)
  • Running the first cohort of the Career Course Correction group.

📚 What I’m Reading

  • The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni. I absolutely loved this little book. It was recommended to me and it was helpful.

  • Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown

  • Laws of Life by Jack Spirko - Well worth a read! Still haven’t finished this but I’m trying

  • Blog posts from other burnt-out developers I trust

  • The AI-driven Leader by Geoff Woods. Some great tips on using AI. A little repetitive.

☕ What I’m Avoiding

  • Agile ceremonies with no actual agility - boy am I getting a double dose of these recently
  • Meetings about meetings. Still loving me a good meeting
