Spacetime Management: Lessons from the Stoics
summary
Stoic practice maps to concrete habits for calmer, more productive engineering: follow four virtues—wisdom, temperance, courage, justice—and three disciplines—assent, desire, action—to shape choices; use delegate, drop, do to prioritize work; track life with an 80x52 week calendar that loses one week each week to force focus; assume failures by building resilience with premortem and cast engineering and plan outages; treat status and possessions as indifferent and act according to principles rather than passion.
