-------------------------------------------- Performance reviews 2019.03.05 13:27:57 CET -------------------------------------------- It's performance review season at work. This means reviewing my achievements over the last year (as well as my peers', but this deserves a post of its own). I've tried, but it feels unavoidable impostor syndrome [1] to kick in and all of its symptoms. I know, I know, never compare yourself to others, but to yourself yesterday. Easier said than done. What is this? Cliché advice phlogging time? I know I need to do so much: improve my personal project planning skills; have smaller milestones and shorter feedback cycles; delay gratification and don't aim for the low-hanging fruits so much etc etc. etc. Except that knowing all the things I need to do just ser as an impediment to start moving. Any cliché advice for this? I bet there is. Google search time. "10 Scientifically Proven Tips for Beating Procrastination" "4 Science-Backed Methods to Stop Procrastinating" "29 Inspiring Procrastination and Productivity Quotes" Yes, let's solve the problem of knowing too much by learning new things :D Ideally I want two of me to exist: one person who keeps the whole picture in perspective and splits the large project and minimal steps; the other person who only knows about the minimal step and executes it. The only interface between them is an explanation of what the current minimal step is. The executor does not suffer from knowing too much. The planner kn too much, but doesn't have to execute so no procrastination due to inertia. Can I clone myself? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impostor_syndrome
