Hacking Work Life Balance (do less and make more)

[@techmentormaria]

Did you spot the fruits? I hope this video helped you -- I'm VERY passionate about teaching people to take care of their work life balance and I'm routing for you to be more upfront with your manager and hold yourself accountable. 🙌

[@donnadie8281]

You are the manager I want to work with!!

[@techmentormaria]

That’s such a kind thing to say!

[@KimwellH]

oh.. .sooo nice.. big thank you for sharing. Now I can feel not guilty of not joining all of the meetings in my calendar

[@learn8184]

I love your content in videos. Really helping me as a new Engineering manager. Thank you!

[@surajcaptain2173]

Wow. It's a so productive advice. Good job.

[@techmentormaria]

Glad you think so!

[@KaroCodes]

All great advices! 👏 A lot of it overlaps with what I used to tell my junior team members when I was an eng manager 😊 I kinda wish someone told me that when I was at the beginning of my career - could avoid some 16h days and too many unnecessary meeting at weird hours 🙈

[@techmentormaria]

16h days are crazy and unnecessary

[@loading4386]

Great video - I currently have a difficult time handling my work life balance. Mainly because everyday is different and some days I'm very productive and others... not so much. I try to make up for the hours i wasn't that productive by working longer hours or maybe doing a bit of work over the weekend. Not being productive could be a symptom that I don't have the right goals, as you mentioned in the beginning. For reference i was at facebook for a few years and moved to google recently.

[@techmentormaria]

Dev tool problems I’m guessing?

[@loading4386]

​@@techmentormaria the reason for switching? Nah, i actually miss FB lol

[@Ferreira019760]

Really cool and grounded approach. Hope I turn out having the same organisational skills as you when I grow up.

[@techmentormaria]

Step by step! Try to work on one thing at a time

[@Za_Sticky_One]

You don't need to work crazy hours to be successful - it's all about the quality of what your produce/contribute and being able to understand what the priorities of your job is. Also being able to communicate by giving realistic deadlines and targets will build confidence. Once that confidence is gained with your team and superiors, you can manage your time as you see fit.

[@techmentormaria]

Exactly!

[@JakeAntelis]

Ths is spot on an great advice.

[@techmentormaria]

Thank you! What was the most useful or surprising for you?

[@Cracksucess]

Quite Relevant one 👍🏼

[@techmentormaria]

Thank you for watching! ✨

[@深夜酒吧]

can you do an interview video show how your teams see you for your em work?

[@techmentormaria]

I don’t think my team would like that 😅 but my last 3 manager scores as ranked my by team were >97% :)

[@深夜酒吧]

@@techmentormaria good job! thanks for sharing! Based on the data i observe the total number of top people work in tech industry on this planet is around 200k, and you have good rank already, congrats!

[@tarek7451]

Thanks for the video. Next up 10.. 9... thing was unnecessarily distracting though 😅

[@techmentormaria]

Ahhh I was trying something new but good to know it’s distracting 😅

[@KamilleN16]

Thank you! I wish we'd have this open culture re: our load

[@ywueeee]

Great advice, though doing some things mentioned in this video could backfire for someone early in their career IMHO and give a bad impression.

[@techmentormaria]

I've given the same advise to entry level engineers without any implications on the success of their careers. Actually the opposite: they learn how to estimate earlier and are more efficient from the start.

[@ywueeee]

@@techmentormaria that's interesting, i thought the idea of doing this could be intimidating to some but guess not

[@techmentormaria]

@@ywueeee It's definitely intimidating initially but once you figure it out and build more confidence that you can actually get MORE done with fewer hours, it becomes easier :)
