The Art of Agile Development: Energized Work

by James Shore

12 Mar, 2008

in 99 words

Professionals do their best, most productive work when they're energized and motivated. To achieve this, combine quality time away with focused attention while at work.

Go home on time every day. Spend time with family and friends and engage in activities that take your mind off of work. Eat healthy foods, exercise, and get plenty of sleep.

While at work, give it your full attention. Silence your phone and turn off interruptions like email and instant messaging.

Support energized work by providing a compelling vision and creating achievable plans. Shield team members from destructive organizational politics and useless meetings.

tired, sore, I'm ready for
a perfect evening
