Sounds crazy, but in a fast paced, pressurized, perfectionistic world, an intentional silly, harmless mistake everyday reminds yourself that you are imperfect. The world can survive your mistakes, and more importantly, you can as well. Make imperfection an art form in your daily mistakes. Challenge your creativity and set your imagination free, and most of all, enjoy it. It s easy to get lost in your job especially in a fast paced technical workplace.
Many people work in isolation.
They encounter real problems that someone else may have solved already. You don t have to reinvent the wheel. Don t work in a vacuum. Get together formally in groups or informally with co-workers and colleagues. You can identify problems and exchange solutions and strategies.
