Productivity has a lot to do with self-awareness. You need to monitor yourself, to ask yourself the right questions throughout the day.

Van Gogh said that “Great things are done by a series of small things brought together”. Same applies to engineering. We do small steps and learn based on them. On a day-to-day basis it may seem like no progress, but it accumulates over time giving amazing results.

Asking for help is difficult. But this is something we should learn how to do if we want to stay sane in our job

We constantly try to push forward and learn new things. But do we find time to stop and look behind to see how much we have achieved? It’s easy to overlook progress on a day-to-day basis, but when we look from afar it can be impressive!
