Breaking Free from Rigidity: How Insecurity Leads to Rigid Thinking and Limits Progress

Is your team stuck following rules, or are you actually delivering value? Confidence in your skills is the difference between real progress and just checking boxes. It's time to break free from rigid thinking—are you ready to challenge the status quo?

From my experience, I’ve seen how frameworks can be both a blessing and a curse. They provide valuable structure but can easily become crutches. When I’ve worked with people who lacked the confidence or skills to adapt these systems to real-world challenges, I noticed they often clung to them rigidly. In my work across product management, UX, engineering, and agile software development—including…

If Your Life Were A Role-Playing Game Series #6:

Speed/Dexterity: The Power of Focus and Agility

This is the sixth installment of the blog series. Check the first one here. 

A pair of cars racing at high speed In many role-playing games, speed and dexterity are important attributes that determine how quickly and effectively a character moves. They represent agility, balance, coordination, and reflexes, and they can be crucial for dodging incoming attacks and landing critical hits. But did you know that focus and agility are also important in real life?  Whether you're gaming or tackling real-life challenges, focus and agility can help you to reach your goals and achieve success. Here are some tips and strategies for improving your speed and dexterity, both in gaming and in life: 

Brain with a person meditating in the background - Practice mindfulness: Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment, without judgment. It can help you to focus your attention, to stay on track, and to avoid getting bogged down by distractions. Try incorporating mindfulness into your daily routine through activities like meditation, yoga, completing a mindfulness coloring book, or journaling.  - Set clear goals: Setting clear goals and priorities can help you to focus your efforts and stay on track. Make a list of your top priorities for the day, week, or month, and work on them one at a time. This can help you to stay focused and avoid wasting time on less important tasks.  - Break tasks into smaller chunks: If you have a big project or goal that seems overwhelming, try breaking it down into smaller, more manageable tasks. This can help you to stay focused, make progress, and to feel more productive.  - Use time management techniques: Time management techniques like the Pomodoro Technique, which involves working in focused bursts followed by short breaks, can help you to stay focused and avoid burnout. Experiment with different techniques to find what works best for you. 

A person practicing quick reflexes and coordination through juggling - Exercise your brain: Just like physical exercise can improve your physical agility, mental exercise can improve your cognitive agility. Try doing brain teasers, puzzles, or memory games to keep your mind sharp and agile.  - Practice agile thinking: Agile thinking is the ability to adapt to new situations and solve problems creatively. To practice agile thinking, try setting yourself challenges or puzzles that require you to think on your feet and come up with creative solutions. For example, you might try solving a Rubik's cube in under a minute or coming up with a list of ten uses for a paperclip.  - Practice quick reflexes: To improve your reflexes, try playing games that require fast reflexes, such as first-person shooters or action games. You can also try exercises like catching balls or juggling, which can help to improve your coordination and reflexes.  - Take breaks: It's important to take breaks and rest when you need to, especially when you're working on tasks that require a lot of focus. Taking breaks can help to prevent burnout and keep your mind sharp. 

A person staying active and improving speed and agility through running - Get enough sleep: Getting enough sleep is essential for maintaining focus and agility. Make sure to get at least 7-9 hours of sleep per night and create a relaxing bedtime routine to help you fall asleep.  - Stay hydrated: Dehydration can affect your focus and energy levels, so it's important to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Aim for at least 8 cups of water per day, and more if you're exercising or in a hot environment.  - Eat a balanced diet: A healthy diet can help to improve your focus and energy levels. Make sure to eat a variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and limit your intake of processed foods and sugar.  - Stay active: Regular physical activity can improve your focus, energy, and agility. Try incorporating activities like running, dancing, or yoga into your routine to stay active and improve your speed and dexterity.  By implementing these strategies, you can improve your focus and agility in gaming and in life. Whether you're looking to up your game or simply to be more productive and effective in your daily tasks, these tips and exercises can help you to achieve your goals. Remember to be patient and consistent, and you'll see improvements in your speed and dexterity over time.  Read the full article

Most prestigious business schools like MIT’s Sloan School of Management was the first to introduce improvisational acting into classrooms. In fact, Johns Hopkins University provides improvisation classes to their science and engineering students, arguing Improv comedy helps train their otherwise analytical-science-minded students to be spontaneous.

Stay open and stay receptive! Like @richardbranson says, if some asks you to get on a rocket, don't ask why? Hop on it. Hesitation leads you to overthinking, overthinking leads you to #procastination that leads you to carve your own mental and materialized physical obstacles in your road to success. Be curious, be willing, stay #committed to #growth No time for #fixedmindset , embrace #growthmindset🌱 Show #selflove but don't #hesitate More power to you all 💪🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻 #thursdaymotivation #sucessmindset #agilethinking #makelucky Ever hesitated on doing something? Where'd you end up? Still feel any what ifs? Comment below. (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCaQHkylzsd/?igshid=1e26n2rqoj41m

São inúmeros motivos para gostar do inverno, deste friozinho tão agradável. 🍂 Um deles é o aumento substancial da produção e performance no trabalho. Como o nosso corpo precisa de mais calor para manter a temperatura regular, o metabolismo fica mais acelerado, o que faz aumentar a produção de energia.🔥 . Nada mais auspicioso que um sabadão neste estilo. Estudar novos frameworks e desenvolver metodologias para aplicá-las nos workshops. 💡 E você? Também aumenta a produtividade nesta época? . . #agilethinking #frameworks #designthinking #agile #workshop https://www.instagram.com/p/Byc5bIpFr1c/?igshid=vt8sgxyqcnxn

Are people with a natural flair for Improv principles, more successful? Or it is a craft that can be nurtured too? While good actors can make it look effortless, learning improv skills—like any other skills—is practice and hard work. As for now, remember that whenever you feel stuck in a conversation, you can train yourself to gracefully emerge from those situations.
