Overwhelmed

Overwhelmed

It is very hard sometimes to cope with the feeling of being overwhelmed, particularly in the current situation of COVID-19 where extra stress is added.

Below are some tips that I find helpful in finding ways in mitigating this feeling:

  • Be intentional in creating your physical and digital space
  • Speed up your developer inner loop by finding patterns and by automating as much as possible
  • Improve your skills by doing katas, coding challenges
  • Use pomodoro technique
  • Taking steps back sometimes help in reconsidering the situation when being stuck
  • Keep a digital garden
  • Do exercices regularly (even walking for 20 minutes helps)
  • Have a good sleep
  • Meditate
  • Take time doing other things
  • Take time with family
