Strengths and Partners
What do I loathe doing and what do I love? This is what I need to keep tracking of to focus on my strengths. I need to write it in a notepad after every time it happens at work or school or in my life.
Things that are work related that are extremely pleasurable:
- Working through the night with my website partner on the Montessori website, draining but feels so good!
- Doing test driven and incremental development
- Making prototypes in python, watching them be demonstrated without a hitch. Watching software I wrote work robustly in front of an audience.
- Climbing to the peak of Section 16 and looking over the city
- Drawing at the Fourth of July at USAFA
- Making portraits of strangers
- Writing a good story
- Teaching a lecture
- Helping people with software development techniques, if they’re receptive.
Things I loathe
- Doing pencil pushing computer administration
- Doing repetitive code development. Code with bad design, maybe?
- Cutting corners to meet a deadline with a code project
Things I might like
- Creating elaborate technical diagrams in Inkscape
- Giving advice on how to effectively do life change (Switch, Follow your strengths)
