In the past I have posted here and there how important it was to differentiate between a reaction and a response. A reaction is fast, impulsive, not consciously thought through. Most questions however, which we encounter during our private and professional lives, expect an answer: Aware and deliberate. I had become aware of this during my early years working as ScrumMaster at GameDuell and I have talked about this with colleagues ever since. During this year I’ve finally read more about this: Daniel Kaneman\u2019s \u201cThinking, Fast and Slow\u201d<\/a> is a revelation and justifiably has become a bestseller! An important reading recommendation. Only logical as well: We’re thinking each day all the time \u2013 wouldn’t it be useful to know more about HOW<\/em> we think? Conclusion: Pause, think slowly, double check cognitive biases, respond. Especially during times like these, this might be more important than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has been one of the things I’ve learned in 2022, which guided me through plenty of conversations and situations. Aside of this, my personal 2022 year in review fades a bit in face of everything that (will have) made 2022 historical. While the personal restrictions of 2020<\/a> and \u201821<\/a> have been waived, our radius of activity still has been limited quite a lot. Mainly by two kids who were in daycare sometimes more sometimes less. 2022 has been characterized by good and hard times within the family and by fortunately stable and great relationships with long-term clients. This is also reflected by progress and stagnation of my life goals<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working from home<\/em> is still the standard. Most companies in IT or the IT teams of organizations in other sectors fortunately refrain from summoning all IT-staff to the office each day. This also makes remote work from different locations easier. In my case working from Berlin for clients in all central Europe. In 2022 I’ve had a lot of fun with D-LABS<\/a>, short reunions with my friends from Tektit<\/a> and a few (remote<\/em>) trainings<\/a> as well as (on-site!) workshops and retros<\/a> for a handful of other clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
