Parent Problems: How to manage life and still be a great developer

Life as a parent can be hard without adding in the element of self-growth. It’s hard for us parents to take the time away and learn the things we want to know. So how do we make time for becoming better developers? By the time I have alone time, I either want to pass out or binge watch Friends on Netflix.

I will cover topics like journaling, mindfulness and tips to be more organized in life in general.

What you can expect to get from this session:

– A few laughs, likely at my expense including silly parent pro tips I have learned the hard way
– Some tips and tricks for organizing life
– Introduction to mindfulness (it’s so not scary!)
– And hopefully some great ways to be a better developer parent person.
