Impostor Syndrome: How to Overcome Your Inner Roadblock
summary
Explains why long-term stress causes panic attacks (personal ER story) and recommends concrete fixes: control light/noise for eight-hour sleep, use 16:8 intermittent fasting for diet, build a keystone habit each morning, and vary fitness with yoga and Strava tracking. Suggests apps and services—Headspace, brain.fm, mynoise, noise‑cancelling headphones—and work rules: async-first communication, set office hours, enforce code freezes (Parkinson’s law) and accept Conway’s law. Recommends CBT/therapy or paid coach services and cites readable books for follow-up.
