Are there any other ways to self educate or grow your craft? [Ask audience] How about being mentored? How about asking those around you for advice? How about creating what I call a Personal Board of Directors?
So we’ve pretty much established that personal growth is important. It’s something that we innately value as people.
We’ve verified that growth is part of life. We expect it to happen to ourselves, and in turn, we expect it to happen to others. We live in a world where growth is EXPECTED, ASSUMED.

Scheduling systems are complicated. There is a better way to visualize work based on a pull system of demand.
This is all of the work you need to do, prioritized by importance at the top.
This is the work you are doing now with a WIP or work in progress limit
This is simply the stuff you’ve gotten done.
As you complete a task to DONE you can move a new task to the in progress section.
Visualizing my workflow makes me happy. I can win every day and see my progress as it is moved across the board
As you can see I have many things to do. Remember, these items are sorted by priority
I have one task up on the board. My work in progress limit is 2. I’m not a multi-tasker, but I can get one thing done with excellence!
For the current week, I’ve completed a lot of things that I needed to do.
