A great book about "Mental Models" with an affordable price!

Nice post. As a team lead, I would like to put an emphasis on communication. Communication is crucial and I believe it is a good idea to let employees know what is expected of them, setting goals, etc. but I figured out it was even a better idea to spend lots of time and energy to give the big picture to the team and to be totally transparent about the project from all angles. Not the often heard "it's the software team, we don't need to communicate that to them" which I sincerely believe is a misconception.

It took me time and reflections for building a decent morning routine, I think the best way was to realize what tended to ruin my day just after waking up: checking social media, checking emails, browsing the internet ...

In other words, filling my head with too much different data and information. That was exhausting me and 99% of the time, it was not worth it.

I believe it is important for me to start the day by focusing on one thing, whatever it is, whether it's a project, a dream or learning new things. Usually, I take advantage of this time to read great books to reflect upon.
