#56: My thinking brain and my anxiety
Back in 2001 the 22 years old Daniel felt a great amount of anxiety every Sunday night, around 7pm. So I wanna tell you how that became my engine to start side projects.

There’s a difference when you are building a network or a community. Check it!
If you could transform breathing into something you do, what is it? I’m playing with minimalism a lot, and making sure I’m doing what really matters to me.
I’m sharing my process to create inner space. How do I manage to be able to listen to people. Who takes care of me? How can I be present and focused?
Dont’t look for likes. Look for impact.
Most people think about rules and goals and tasks, but that’s not “the thing”. We need self awareness and we need to become more conscious about how we work.
If you can make something easier, do it.
Things I think about if I’m about to build a new hiring process. Whole team Patience / email / references / sample code (unit testing) Money is about budget and boundaries. Make them clear. Create a relationship. You can get a new finder and follower. Hiring is a conversation with no end. Hiring is networking.
Ideas worth nothing IMHO... make sure you can execute them. How much do you value your ideas?
Find your metaphors. A rant about manifestos after the agile manifesto, spotify model. Also some thoughts about ego and silos.
I was thinking about choices and decision making process. And during this process I reference a podcast from basecamp (rework.fm ep 4) and also a podcast from Tim Ferriss and Greg McKeown (tim.blog ep 355).
Commitments or moving a hobby into a new business. You have stuff you like to do, you have stuff you wanna learn and new stuff you wanna excel. I’m going for moving writing from a hobby to a new revenue stream. Let’s see how it goes.
Don’t ask why. Look for different approaches.
Metrics? Start limiting work in progress.
Some people want to control emotions. We need more connection.
My perspective on (agile) certifications
Creating time to new projects! Find your community, talk to people and go for your first step. Learn from it, and get the next step. Iterate from that!
The best thing we can do is to be ourselves. Be yourself! Find what you are good at. Find people to partner with in stuff you don’t wanna be good at.
Building flow. Current state, find bottlenecks and improve!
The employee pyramid
Self organizing teams
Pay it forward
The safety network and goals
OKRs!
You don't need to rush. What's next?
Drop your ego. Play for your community.
The belonging process. Don't try to "fit in". This is more important than it is to wear sun screen.
Communities of Practice to build people.
Don’t feel busy. Feel valuable.
Why do you wake up?
