rePost: Maker vs. Manager: How Your Schedule Can Make or Break You

When the results came in, they revealed an enormous performance gap. The best outperformed the worst by a 10:1 ratio. The top programmers were also about 2.5 times better than the median. When DeMarco and Lister tried to figure out what accounted for this astonishing range, the factors that you’d think would matter—such as years of experience, salary, even the time spent completing the work—had little correlation to outcome. Programmers with ten years’ experience did no better than those with two years. The

“The worst thing in life that you can have is a job that you hate, that you have no energy in, that you’re not creative with and you’re not thinking of the future. To me, might as well be dead.” — Robert Greene

I know that you are not supposed tk change jobs only for the money but that is a luxury only single people or independently wealthy people can afford. I am neither. I am trying to hold on but I really need to start interviewing for a job. Hay.

One of the things I lost when I moved to makati and stopped the 2-3 hour commutes is the long hours for contemplation and meditation I was able to do sitting in a bus going home.
I sooo needed this.
We need time to think and process the day,week, and month. It is hard when life comes at you so hard and fast it seems all you can do is react. I refuse to be a reactionary. I want a life well lived and it means a life of reflection, measured action and reaction. I want a life of meaning and for this we need to contemplate being useful. A life of service to each other doing something I am good at, I love doing, is useful, and I am well paid for.
Ikagai is such a beautiful word. It is the word that describes the intersection of something I love, I am good at, Useful, and people will pay for.

Watching Roy Basa’s story in MMK tonight can’t help but wish that people understood that intergenerational poverty and social immobility is the main problem of our country. Something infrastructure projects cannot overcome.
Strengthening healthcare through PhilHealth and funding the public hospitals helps in solving the number one cause of financial calamity in the Philippines.
K-12 helps in funding the low hanging fruit in education. Making high school graduates employable or equipped for entrepreneurship.
CCT program create incentives for parents to force their children to school. Before senior high you have to graduate from high school. Before you go to high school you have to graduate elementary. Before you go to elementary you have to graduate from kinder. The financial incentive of CCT helps create senior highschool graduates that hopefully make a dent against inter generational poverty and lack of social mobility

Woke up at 3:30 again after sleeping around 11:00. I felt refreshed physically but my senses or my mind felt clouded.
The only thing constant is change is so very true. Excited and yet scared. Steeling myself to the challenges ahead.
Angela is starting school in a week or so. We are moving to QC where I practically became a teen and an adult.
I will miss the centrality of Makati City. How you are almost never 500 metera away from a 24 hour convenience store. Where you probably have the highest or second highest number of 24 hour fastfood restaurants per square kilometers.
I will miss most the friends we found in the church who have welcomed our family into their community. People once told me that this wasnt a friendly locale but friendly is relative and I can say we were welcomed.
Still have no idea how this will work what project will be my home base and other details like that. Just have to improvise and meditate.
