"Conscious of" has more a meaning of being mindful, expressing not only awareness of something, but the idea that you are keeping an eye on it. Taken from an article I once read, “A study done by Harvard showed that people spend 46.9% of their time thinking about something other than what they’re doing. This mind-wandering tends to make them unhappy. It can dampen not only our productivity but also the quality of our lives.” In following Gary’s thought, so how can we become more conscious and make the most of the present moment when testing? Have the right mindset, if we practice a mindset of proactivity, positivity, and awareness, that’s what we’ll get.

Destroy is a harsh word, but I think that not having enough time to test is a risk that no project should take. I do feel that most of us use Big Room Planning and Iteration Planning to lay the ground estimates of the time we need for preparing and testing. However, it is difficult to prepare for "surprises" out of our control. That is why we have Discord/Teams, DSU, iteration planning, and Art Sync. Those communication tools and meetings allow us to re-evaluate our estimates and risks and adjust our needed time for testing.

I had to really think about how to respond on a few of the questions as "Team" meant everyone at Acato. I tried to respond as to what I mostly observed.

Good article. Rest entails allowing your body to take a break from the regular stresses of everyday life. It is vital for your health and physical well-being.

There are some very good YouTube videos out there that summarize the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People book for those of you who wish to revisit the steps.

I have. Very good habits to follow in everyday life.

Would like to see a step challenge again. Next time I'll enroll before app cutoff.
