The majority of “I’m not motivated.” Lost.
sesere115 Q. I am not making progress in my personal development. I am not motivated. A. Add one button. Create one documentation page. It doesn’t matter what it is, do one thing a day, even if it’s a very small thing, and it will get done eventually. The worst thing you can do is “Let’s do it all at once when we get time.
nishio If the ultimate goal is “to promote individual development,” then you’re right, but if not, then “if the main developer doesn’t have any willingness (e.g. to do something), then you can’t just micromanage a project and force it to progress. If not, then you should first consider, “If the main developer has no willingness (e.g., to do something), forcing progress through micromanagement will not result in a good product, will it? That’s the first thing to think about, isn’t it? nishio spontaneous The reason why I’m not motivated to do this project, even though I’m supposed to be doing it spontaneous, is that the developer himself is the one who said “it doesn’t make sense to make something like this in the first place. I don’t see the point in making something like this. And it is usually a sign of self-fulfillment of prophecy, and people start saying “Poison”, which means “I did my best but the world doesn’t appreciate it”. - I worked hard and it wasn’t appreciated.
vorotamoroz I think this is exactly what I’m talking about, and in fact, I think personal development will eventually go the way of the drawing board. 90% of “unmotivated” are lost. I draw big maps, like a game of life or a game of slog.
ebichan19850512 I feel that if I can visualize what I am doing now, Work Resolution will increase and Task Priority I feel like I’m less likely to make mistakes.
vorotamoroz Yes, I think this “what am I doing?” unexpectedly leads to various mistakes and misfortunes. The way tasks are cut off is abnormally large, and every time it ends with a single word “not achieved”.
ebichan19850512 I am someone who is not quite there yet, but I tell my juniors, “If you are worried even for a moment, stop and ask someone. Human thinking can be fatal, especially when it comes down to work, and by involving others in the decision-making process, mistakes can be stopped before they happen, or if they do happen, the damage can be minimized.
