Stress Driven Development, and How to Avoid It
summary
Personal case of a panic attack prompts a shift from chronic to managed acute stress, with concrete tactics: prioritize 8 hours and fixed wake time plus blue-light filter and ear protection for better sleep; adopt 16:8 intermittent fasting and cut processed sugar, use green smoothies; rely on the habit loop (cue–routine–reward) and a single keystone habit like morning runs tracked via Strava; set office boundaries—do not disturb, disable notifications, library rules, Brain.fm/noise‑cancelling—and respect Parkinson’s and Conway’s laws.
