Reminds me of the -OODA Loop-, i.e.: Observe Orient Decide Act. I like to use that to remind myself to stop or slow down, get your bearings and analyze the situation before acting. I know it seems obvious, but- having an acronym for it is super helpful in ensuring you remember it when it matters. I have a similar acronym for meetings: PAD (Purpose, Agenda and Decisions). It-s important that everyone knows the reason for the meeting (gives them an opportunity to make an informed decision on if they-re needed or if someone else should be included), that you-ve clearly outlined the main points so you don-t get distracted _too_ far from the original list of main points (but of course flexibility is often required) and finally a reminder: Leave the meeting with decisions so you know what to do moving forward, that way your time isn-t wasted!

I agree! Yet, I have a job where time matters and it affects so many people. No matter what I do I get a build up of tasks. I do not make big mistakes. I just get a build up. When ti comes to the future and thinking about aggregate effort over time I'm a champ. That is usually my number one or two thought. How will this work over time? How do i reduce aggregate effort over time and individuals.
Great video!

This is normal. I'm speaking from experience. Working hard is one thing but there's a limit. Once you get to that limit you don't need to make a conscious decision, your body will make you stop. Make you slow down and rest. What you felt today is that feeling. So give yourself the time off that you obviously need but kept ignoring.

The timing of this video couldn't be better. I burned out recently. When your body shuts down suddenly it's a WARNING. I am exhausted and need a break. Work is not worth trading your health for. When you do take time off after a burn out better see a doctor and get your health in check. Just in case.

After learning that Derek is a dab hand at playing the trombone, what better way for him to relax then to make a video, of him playing the tombone to the sax solo to Baker Street, or better still, the Guitar solo. No backing track..just the solo's please!!

That-s what I hope will be the outcome of AI/robots in the workforce, that everyone can choose if they want to work and that if they work they can slow down and work well on something, not just fast.
Though I-m pretty sure that-s not gonna happen.

I do the exact same thing. I used to work my butt off when I first started my career but in the last few years, I started to slow down and take my time. It has helped my stress levels tremendously.

Hey DT, I feel kdenlive is the worst video editing software whenever I cut clips and bring them together they create a screaming effect of audio which I really hate
