Episode Synopsis
You can find the notes and resources here https://blog.coach.me/mihai-banulescu-how-to-be-playfully-productive/
In this episode with Mihai Banulescu, we talked about:
Growing up in Roumenia he was advanced in math coming to the US. Going into computers was a natural thing.
Agile and Ruby are written for developer happiness.
The episode with Maud Slich on testing of software
The lesson he learned from volunteering during his college years in New Hampshire.
How he developed the productivity game with David Brawn.
If you don’t get good at execution, your planning doesn’t matter.
Doing 23 minutes really focused work, then take a break and start the next cycle with 2 minutes reviewing what you did.
Habit Coach Certification
Teach people that are already very productive, to take a five-minute break.
There is a gift in starting and stopping, as long as you can relax in between.
To be human is play and joy. Do as little work as possible, to have more time to play and joy.
His life’s purpose is to reinvent education.
Sudbry school and agile learning centres.
Conversation with Maria Alvarez Garzia – Rethink how we think about education.
How do I make that in-the-moment choice?
The six-word memoir.
Finite and Infinite Games is a book by James P. Carse.
In order to be playful, you have to have a choice.
Do I have any worth when I am not producing for people?
Coddiwomple – to travel purposefully without a set destination.
You will learn to appreciate and nurture connections of all kinds.
He coaches (teaches) whatever inspired and transformed his own life— blues partner dancing, authentic connection, productivity-integrity, meditation-prayer, and coddiwompling.
Unlike most productivity training, he will guide you to introduce small but very effective habits/tools which will (hopefully) have an immediate positive impact on your life. This in turn will motivate you to ask for the next habit/tool, and so on.
Part of his philosophy is that being human is more important than being productive, and that rhythm and rest play a huge part in both
happiness and productivity. In the end, it is possible for your work to be a kind of playful meditation which actually increases the amount of
energy available to you for the other parts of life.
