💨 Morning Motivation: Software Development Sprint

💨 Morning Motivation from The Workplace

A real-life reflection on work, focus, and staying committed to your goals.

🌅 The Morning Hustle

Hey, Miles— it’s morning. I’m at Langara Hospital. We’ve got all these hospital contracts now — it’s crazy. Big ones, too. My coworker’s right behind me on the ride-on mower, picking up leaves, and I just finished blowing the entire parking lot. It’s only 8:30 a.m., and I’m on break. ☕

💭 The Realization

I was listening to what you said about building your app and how long it’s taking — and at first, I thought, “F*** you.” But then it hit me… you’re right. I’ve been procrastinating. Learning this new shift has been tough. This isn’t just tinkering anymore — it’s enterprise-level programming, next-level stuff.

So I took your words seriously. I decided it’s time to stop thinking and start implementing.

⚙️ The Plan

  • Every morning, I fire up the laptop and work on a new feature.
  • After work — even if I’m tired — I get back to it.
  • If I take a nap? I still come back and push forward.

I’m calling this a sprint. In software project management, a sprint means going all-in — fast, focused, and knocking items off the checklist. It’s about momentum, not research. Just execution. 🚀

🏁 Sprint vs. Streak

A streak means achieving consistent wins, one after another. A sprint is when you go full throttle for a short, focused burst — hammering through milestones and progress goals. That’s where I’m at now.

🔥 The Breakthrough

This mindset has pulled me out of the “poor me” funk — that trap where you feel sorry for yourself because learning takes time. Now, I’m saying “f*** it” and putting 100% of my focus into action.

Every day, every feature, every sprint — that’s how I’m moving forward.

💡 The Takeaway

  • Stop overthinking. Start implementing.
  • Focus on small, daily progress — that’s your sprint.
  • Momentum beats perfection every time.

So here’s the message: 100% focus. Get to the point where you can start your own sprint — whatever your goal is. 🏃‍♂️💻🔥
