I totally agree with the 80/20 rule. Focusing on the work instead of worrying about time does somewhat align with the Agile Methodology I'm doing at my Software Engineering Internship and it makes work very productive.

[@kkcui]

Nice saying! People tend to expect the world to be balanced, but in fact, balance is not the natural state of the world - imbalance is.

[@PKorp-PriyankaKalyan]

Correct, I tried Time Management by learning from KZbinrs and realized it was not my way. Then I made a Task Management method for myself. I am glad there are people like me who don't fit in Time Management ideas.

[@GamingBeastYT]

Really love the way you work and balance your life 😊

[@kkcui]

Thank you!!

[@abroslife]

I loved every moment. Awesome work.

[@kkcui]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@TheHashCrackingSlasher]

The part about the 80/20 rule, kinda spoke out to me a lot especially the part where What 20% of your life provides you with 80% of your happiness, and to me, its a difficult thing to answer but now I have the ability to ask myself that question in hopes of figuring out the answer! So thank you for this

[@kkcui]

It’s an interesting thought :) I’m hopeful that you are happy and successful no matter where you go and which path you decide to take. Good luck.

[@jimmychen4496]

[@nakamag-trader3319]

just wondering if your work really needs to be onsite? or you can just work from home? :) new subs here and working from the Philippines as a BPO worker in a Telco Industry. we have the luxury to be working from home.

[@kkcui]

Not all of my work requires me to be onsite, but sometimes I just like come in. The office has its perks.

Hi, I graduated one month ago and started my first job. Do you or anyone else have any tips on the transition from college to work life? Are there some things you wish you knew when you got into it? And what do you do with all this free time after work? Best regards

[@kkcui]

First of all, congratulations! For me, the transition is primarily about mindset. In college, we are guided by professors with external structures. But in professional world, self-motivation is important. Take ownership of your tasks, be proactive in seeking opportunities, and embrace constructive feedbacks.

[@Gegagrega]

@@kkcui Thank you so much for your time. Did you use your free time for work and self education, too or did you use your free time for relaxation, hobbies etc.?

[@kkcui]

I did both. Some nights were self education and some were hobbies/relaxation. It's important to maintain a balance.

[@captureitlive]

Software engineers are overpaid , but compared to how much the company makes, underpaid. Youll try to argue the cost of living , and we will just tbrow in the fact that brining more tech to any area drove up the cost of living. So essentially, anyone who works in the industry is responsible .

[@zihengli9203]

Hi, could you tell me how much RAM you choose in your mac?

[@kkcui]

For my office laptop (mac), it's 32GB.

Lofree!

[@gjorgjic]

Not an attack or anything, but why do you keep flipping the camera view so often?

I thought it will be more engaging. Any feedback?

@@kkcui I personally find it distracting. Other people might not, though.
