SummaryIn this episode of The Chasing Health Podcast, Chase and Chris sit down with fitness coach Adam Badger for part three of their mini-series on stress and fat loss. Adam shares how chronic stress affected his own health and business, and how most people don't even realize how stressed they really are until it's too late.The conversation dives into how overworking and overtraining can actually hurt your fat loss goals, and why things like skipping meals, snacking too often, and constantly pushing yourself can make things worse. Adam also explains why taking care of your stress and mindset is just as important as eating healthy or going to the gym.They talk about how your body responds to stress, signs to look for, and simple things you can do — like eating real meals, getting outside, and communicating better — that can help you feel better and get better results.

In this episode of Building Better Habits, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche delve into an essential skill for productivity—improving focus. Drawing from personal experiences and practical methodologies, they explore ways to enhance your attention span and align your efforts with meaningful outcomes. Here's a recap of their discussion, peppered with insights to help you sharpen your focus and stay on track. The Challenge of Staying Focused The episode opens with an acknowledgment of the common struggle many face—distractions. From holiday chaos to unexpected snow days, Rob and Michael discuss how life's interruptions can derail even the best-laid plans. The key, they emphasize, lies in understanding the why behind your tasks and maintaining clarity about your goals. They draw a distinction between being busy and being productive, urging listeners to focus on what truly matters. Rob highlights how distractions, such as digital notifications or seemingly minor tasks, often lead to wasted time. By contrast, deliberate planning and mindful action can help you avoid these pitfalls. Techniques to Improve Focus 1. The Pomodoro Technique Rob praises the Pomodoro Technique, a time-management strategy that involves breaking work into focused intervals (typically 25 minutes), followed by short breaks. He suggests starting small by committing to just one or two Pomodoros a day and building from there. This approach helps sustain concentration and prevents burnout. 2. Prioritize Your “Why” Both hosts stress the importance of understanding the purpose behind each task. Before diving into work, ask yourself: What is the goal of this task? How does it contribute to the bigger picture? What does “done” look like for this item? This reflective practice can help you stay focused on tasks that provide real value rather than getting sidetracked by unnecessary details. 3. Avoid Rabbit Holes Rob and Michael caution against spending excessive time on minor, non-essential details. For instance, tweaking the color of a button or perfecting a report with excessive detail can eat away at time without adding meaningful value. Instead, focus on functional outcomes that directly address the needs of your project or customer. Balancing Focus with Functionality and Aesthetics One of the most relatable moments comes when Rob shares his analogy of creating a forest path. He explains that when cutting a path through dense woods, the goal is to clear a functional route—not to make it beautiful right away. Similarly, in software development and other projects, focus first on achieving functionality. Aesthetic enhancements can come later once the foundational work is complete. The Value of Timely Execution Timeliness is a recurring theme in this discussion. The hosts emphasize delivering work just in time—when it's needed. Agile and Scrum methodologies align well with this principle, encouraging developers to prioritize high-value features and tackle them incrementally. By focusing on timely execution, you can avoid overengineering early stages and adapt as requirements evolve. Key Takeaways 1. Build Habits Around Focus Developing habits like regular breaks, structured time management, and prioritization can significantly enhance your focus. Rob suggests starting your day by creating a thoughtful to-do list. Before beginning a task, identify the quickest, most efficient path to completion. 2. Stay Productive, Not Just Busy Michael adds that being productive means focusing on meaningful work rather than trying to appear busy. Clear communication, especially in status reports, ensures that your contributions are visible without unnecessary fluff. 3. Define Completion Understanding what “done” means for each task helps you stay aligned with your goals. Whether you're developing software, writing reports, or managing a team, knowing the endpoint keeps you on track. Focus Challenge of the Week The hosts leave listeners with a practical challenge: Create a daily to-do list. Reflect on the “why” behind each item. Regularly assess whether your efforts align with your goals. By incorporating these habits, you can sharpen your focus, improve productivity, and avoid wasting time on distractions. Improving focus is a skill that requires intention, practice, and self-awareness. Whether you're tackling a software project or managing daily responsibilities, Rob and Michael's strategies provide a solid foundation to enhance your productivity. As they remind us, the key is not to work harder but to work smarter—one habit at a time.

Developing better habits often feels like a task-oriented mission—ditch the bad, adopt the good, and stay on track. But what if building good habits could also be fun? In the latest episode of Building Better Habits, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche explore the power of fun habits—activities that not only enrich your life but can also replace unhealthy or unproductive habits. The Power of Fun Habits Rob begins by sharing how introducing fun habits has been a game-changer in his life. He emphasizes that having enjoyable routines is not just about entertainment; it's about maintaining balance and fostering personal growth. Rob resets his fun habits yearly, ensuring they remain a central part of his self-improvement journey. The idea is simple: integrate small, enjoyable activities into your day to boost motivation and replace time-draining or harmful habits. Whether it's reviving an old hobby, tackling a creative project, or diving into something you've always wanted to try, fun habits offer a sense of accomplishment and joy. Replacing Bad Habits We all have habits that don't serve us well—whether it's excessive screen time, overeating, or procrastination. The hosts suggest identifying these behaviors and considering what fun, rewarding activities can fill their place. For instance, instead of comfort eating after a stressful day, Rob recommends spending 15 minutes gaming, working on a creative project, or even taking a short bike ride to get your endorphins flowing. Michael expands on this idea by emphasizing the importance of moderation. Fun habits can turn into excessive distractions if not managed well, so setting clear boundaries is key. A 15- to 30-minute daily routine is a manageable and effective way to balance fun and productivity. Examples of Fun Habits Both Rob and Michael share examples of their personal fun habits: Reading for Pleasure: Rob reintroduced fiction reading into his life after years of focusing on technical and professional development books. Similarly, Michael has turned to audiobooks, which allow him to enjoy stories without the strain of traditional reading. Creative Side Projects: Rob enjoys working on small software projects, like designing apps or experimenting with game development. These activities not only bring him joy but also enhance his skills as a developer. Similarly, Michael loves building user interfaces and maintaining a “kitchen sink” library of reusable code snippets. Exercise and Movement: Rob mentions using a Peloton bike to stay active, even if it's just for a 15-minute workout. Fun physical activities like biking or dancing can double as a way to break up sedentary habits. Gaming with a Purpose: Gaming isn't just about entertainment—it can also be a stress reliever. For those on a budget, Michael suggests exploring free games through platforms like Epic Store or Amazon Prime Gaming. How to Start Your Fun Habits The key to success is consistency and intentionality. Rob challenges listeners to spend 15-30 minutes daily on something they genuinely enjoy. He offers the following steps: Identify What Brings You Joy: Consider activities that excite you or hobbies you've set aside. It could be painting, coding, gardening, or even tackling a challenging puzzle. Set a Daily Time Block: Find a consistent time—whether it's the start of your day, during lunch, or before bedtime—to dedicate to your fun habit. Track Your Progress: Keeping a log of your fun habits can provide a sense of accomplishment and motivate you to continue. Replace the Negative: Use your fun habit to replace less productive or unhealthy habits. For example, swap scrolling on social media with 15 minutes of creative writing or sketching. Fun Habits as Stress Relievers Incorporating fun habits into your life doesn't just boost happiness—it also reduces stress. By engaging in activities you genuinely enjoy, you're giving yourself a chance to recharge and refocus. Rob points out that even a short burst of joy can have a lasting positive effect on your mood and energy. Take the Challenge Rob and Michael challenge listeners: identify one fun habit you can incorporate into your daily life. Spend at least 15 minutes on this activity for the next seven days. Whether it's picking up a new skill, revisiting a forgotten hobby, or simply taking time for yourself, this habit could be the key to a happier and healthier routine. Conclusion Fun habits are more than just hobbies—they are personal growth and well-being tools. By incorporating enjoyable activities into your daily routine, you can replace bad habits, reduce stress, and improve your overall quality of life. As Rob and Michael put it, “Fun habits are the candy reward of your day—without the guilt!” So, what will your fun habit be? Take the challenge, and let the joy of small, intentional activities transform your day.

Season after season, the “Building Better Developers” podcast inspires tech enthusiasts to refine their craft by fostering productive habits. In a recent episode, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche emphasized coding standards—a crucial but often overlooked pillar in software development. Here's a deep dive into their insights on how personal and team-wide coding standards can elevate your development game. Why Coding Standards Matter At its core, coding standards provide consistency and clarity. Whether you're an independent developer or part of a large team, they serve as a guideline for writing clean, maintainable, and professional code. Rob pointed out that following standards is not about adhering to rigid rules but about making life easier—for yourself and your team. Michael added a critical perspective: coding standards often extend beyond aesthetics. In industries like healthcare and finance, compliance with external standards like HIPAA or SOC is mandatory. Similarly, developers working on mobile apps must align with platform-specific requirements, such as those of the Apple App Store, to ensure their software is accepted and functions as intended. Personalizing Coding Standards The hosts encouraged listeners to start with personal coding standards before expanding to team-wide practices. Rob explained that simple habits, such as consistent indentation, intuitive variable naming, and clear function structuring, can dramatically improve readability and maintainability. He also highlighted tools like linters and formatters, which can automate the enforcement of these standards. Michael expanded on this idea, emphasizing the concept of “clean code.” By writing self-documenting code—where functions, variables, and structures clearly convey their purpose—developers can minimize reliance on inline comments. However, he noted the importance of documenting elusive bugs or unique solutions directly in the codebase to prevent future troubleshooting headaches. Leveraging Tools for Consistent Coding Standards The episode underscored the importance of adopting tools like linters, such as SonarLint or integrated features in IDEs like Visual Studio Code. These tools can help enforce standards automatically, reducing the likelihood of human error. The hosts recommended configuring these tools for “format on save,” ensuring consistent styling across a team's codebase. Rob highlighted the productivity benefits of standardization, especially during code reviews and merges. Misaligned formats can create confusion, leading to unnecessary rework. By agreeing on a common setup and sharing IDE configurations, teams can streamline their development process and focus on meaningful changes. The Broader Impact of Standards Beyond the practicalities, coding standards contribute to a sense of professionalism and ownership. Rob likened them to a team's “stamp,” reflecting their identity and ethos. For individual developers, adhering to consistent standards fosters discipline, an essential trait for long-term growth. Michael introduced a compelling argument for balancing internal and external requirements. While personal and team standards are foundational, developers must also be mindful of external constraints, such as compliance and platform guidelines. This dual focus ensures that software not only functions well but also meets legal and industry expectations. Challenges and Takeaways: Refining Your Coding Standards The hosts concluded with a weekly challenge: dedicate 5–10 minutes daily to reviewing and refining your code according to your standards. This practice serves as a litmus test to assess whether you're following your own rules. For teams without established standards, they recommended adopting widely respected guidelines, like Google's or PEP 8 for Python, as a starting point. Bonus tips included leveraging documentation exports and linter configurations to share consistent settings across teams. By doing so, developers can create an environment where everyone writes code that feels cohesive and professional. Final Thoughts Coding standards might not be the flashiest aspect of development, but they are undeniably impactful. By committing to personal and team-wide practices, you can improve not just your code but also your efficiency, collaboration, and career prospects. Whether you're refining your Pomodoro technique or revisiting old projects, take a moment to reflect on your coding habits and how they align with your standards. As Rob and Michael emphasized, “Building Better Developers” is about incremental progress. Coding standards are one small step toward becoming a more disciplined and effective developer. Start today, and see the difference it makes in your workflow and your team's success.

We're living in an era where we're bombarded with information and expert opinions from every direction. As a result, many of us have become overly reliant on external expertise, constantly searching for the 'right' answer about how to eat, move, and live. What I've noticed in my two decades as a medical doctor is that this can actually prevent us from tuning into our own inner expertise and create lasting change.   In this special BONUS podcast episode, I share some powerful insights from a live event that took place in London earlier this year about why knowledge alone isn't enough to create lasting change in our lives and how we can become our own experts.   The truth is, most of us already know what we should be doing to improve our health - we know too much sugar isn't good for us, we know movement is important, and we know we should probably spend less time on our phones. But knowledge isn't enough. What's missing is self-awareness and insight into why we make the choices we do.   In this episode, you'll discover: My simple 3M framework for daily routines, helping you create lasting change even if you only have 5 minutes to spare How to develop your own intuition. Why starting your day mindfully prevents 'micro-stress doses' from accumulating, leading to better mood and healthier choices throughout your day A powerful journaling practice that builds self-awareness, helping you understand your choices and create sustainable change How to maintain transformative routines in a busy household, setting an example that inspires those around you One of the key messages I want you to take away from this episode is that you can change who you are at any time - you're not destined to be the person you were yesterday. Through practices like journaling, you can develop a deeper understanding of yourself, as well as the insight needed to make lasting changes.   And for those who feel they don't have time for elaborate routines - and I know many of us feel this way - I explain why even small actions, done consistently, can be transformative. You don't need perfect conditions to start, and in fact, maintaining these practices even in a busy household can set a powerful example for those around you.   I truly hope you find this episode helpful and that it gives you practical tools you can implement immediately. If you know someone who could benefit from listening, please share it with them, too.

Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche host Episode 7 of Building Better Developers. They explore how to Breaking Things Down for Success. Their discussion centers on maintaining a personal backlog. This practical tool helps streamline both project management and professional growth. Through real examples, they demonstrate how this approach enhances productivity. Breaking Down Projects into Manageable Chunks Rob discusses how breaking things down can make overwhelming tasks more achievable. The hosts suggest starting with identifying core project elements. For developers, they recommend breaking features into backend, frontend, and testing components. Breaking down work helps maintain momentum and creates a systematic approach. This method prevents developers from feeling overwhelmed while ensuring thorough completion. Creating a Personal Backlog for Better Task Management The concept of a “personal backlog” is introduced as a way to stay organized and focused. The backlog serves as a repository for tasks that need to be completed but aren't necessarily urgent. This approach helps ensure that, even if a task isn't immediately tackled, it won't fall through the cracks. Rob suggests regularly updating and consulting this backlog to prioritize tasks effectively. This makes it easier to pull items for daily or weekly to-do lists. Building Daily Lists by Breaking Things Down Another critical aspect discussed is the habit of making daily lists of actionable tasks. Rob and Michael recommend creating focused daily task lists with three to five items. They compare this practice to meal prepping, where planning prevents wasted effort. Breaking down weekly tasks in advance leads to smoother project execution. This approach helps developers maintain focus and avoid getting sidetracked. Proper planning eliminates unnecessary steps and improves overall efficiency. Michael explains how backlogs help manage extended projects effectively. Developers can build focused to-do lists from their backlog items. This method allows for flexible scheduling while maintaining project order. The approach prevents common mistakes like tackling tasks in the wrong sequence. Estimating and Prioritizing Tasks by Breaking Them Down Rob and Michael discuss the importance of estimating task sizes for better time management. Breaking tasks into smaller pieces helps create more accurate time estimates. They recommend mixing small and medium tasks throughout the day. Larger tasks should be saved for periods of uninterrupted focus. Using the Pomodoro Technique for Focused Task Completion The hosts recommend using the Pomodoro technique to manage coding sessions effectively. Work intervals of 25 minutes are followed by short breaks. This method helps developers maintain focus and prevent burnout. Even brief breaks can boost productivity during intense coding work. Integrating Testing by Breaking Down QA Tasks Michael emphasizes testing throughout each project phase instead of leaving it until the end. He recommends adding testing tasks directly into the project backlog. This ensures quality checks become a natural part of development. Regular testing helps verify each phase meets requirements. Weekly Challenge: Breaking Things Down to Build Better Habits Rob challenges listeners to start using backlogs and break down their weekly tasks. Creating manageable daily lists should become a consistent habit. Regular backlog updates help maintain steady progress. This approach prevents burnout while keeping development work efficient and sustainable. Rob and Michael invite listeners to share their task management experiences online. They emphasize starting with small, consistent improvements. These daily steps help developers build better work habits. Good task management leads to increased focus and development success.

In the latest episode of Building Better Developers, Rob and Michael continue their journey through Season 23, “Building Better Habits.” In Episdoe 5 the focusing on improving coding skills. Like diving into why developers should consistently refine techniques, stay updated with evolving coding standards, and explore new tools. This hosts go beyond just writing code; it's about forming habits that make continuous learning an essential part of a developer's daily routine. Tools and Techniques Rob shares insights on the importance of regularly updating coding habits and exploring new languages and techniques. While it's easy to rely on familiar coding methods, especially in stable languages like Java, doing so can lead to missed opportunities to improve coding skills and write more efficient code. Rob suggests developers make time to explore updates in the languages and tools they already use, as newer features and standards can bring significant performance and workflow benefits. The Importance of Tools for Improving Coding Skills Michael builds on this idea by discussing the importance of trying out different tools. Many developers grow accustomed to particular development environments like Visual Studio or IntelliJ. Becareful relying exclusively on one tool, because this can limit your skills as a developer. Instead, Michael recommends creating sample applications (like the kitchen sink app) to test how various development environments work. Experimenting with multiple IDEs (integrated development environments) can make developers more versatile, which is especially valuable as they shift projects or roles. Coding Standards and Best Practices Maintaining coding standards and regularly reviewing best practices are essential to improving coding skills. As Michael explains, developers' understanding of best practices should grow over time. Start by revisiting previous projects. This can be a great opportunity to enhance the quality of code. The kitchen sink app can be a helpful reference for testing and refining best practices, helping developers ensure that new projects begin with a foundation of high-quality, standardized code. Resources for Improving Coding Skills Rob offers practical resources to assist developers in their continuous learning. He mentions platforms like CodeSignal, where developers can engage in challenges and tutorials, practicing coding skills in real-time. This type of interactive platform mirrors real-world coding environments. This allows developers to get immediate feedback and making it ideal for those aiming to learn new languages or strengthen their problem-solving skills. He also encourages developers to explore podcasts, blogs, and forums to stay informed about trends. Also, look at changes in their coding languages and frameworks. Daily Commitment to Improving Coding Skills Spend 10–15 minutes daily learning something new about a coding environment, tool, or language. Rob suggests beginning with an overarching goal—such as exploring a recent update in a language—then breaking it down into small daily learning segments. This incremental approach to learning makes it easier to grasp new information without feeling overwhelmed and helps developers make continuous progress. Improving Coding Skills by Understanding Standards Michael emphasizes that improving coding skills goes beyond practice; understanding the “why” behind coding standards is essential. This deeper comprehension helps developers apply coding standards effectively and reduces the likelihood of coding “blindly” or by habit alone. With this approach, developers improve their code quality, problem-solving skills, and ability to communicate technical choices within their teams. The Episode's Challenge: A Week of Learning Challenge for Improving Coding Skills The episode wraps up with a learning challenge for the week: pick one coding or technology-related topic to explore. Rob and Michael recommend choosing a topic that complements the developer's current skill set, whether it's a new feature in a familiar language, articles on coding standards, or recent security protocols. By setting aside a small amount of time each day to learn something new, developers can gradually build knowledge and gain new insights for a week. Improving Coding Skills through Small, Daily Steps Episode 5 of Building Better Developers provides an actionable approach to continuous improvement for developers. By forming habits around learning and experimentation, Rob and Michael show that developers can stay sharp, relevant, and prepared for a fast-evolving tech industry. Their advice—taking small, daily steps toward learning something new—reminds developers that effective growth is as much about mindset as technical skill.

Welcome to episode four of Building Better Developers. This season, we are focusing on "Building Better Habits." This episode shows how automation can handle repetitive tasks in your daily routine. By automating mundane work, developers can focus more on creative and strategic projects. These automation practices help build a more efficient development process. The Power of Automation in Development This episode centers on how automation can dramatically improve productivity by eliminating repetitive tasks. The hosts highlight that developers often perform redundant tasks that, though small, can add up to significant time losses. They encourage listeners to reflect on their daily routines and pinpoint actions that automation could streamline. These might be running scripts, batch processing, or setting up CI/CD pipelines. Automating these tasks isn't just about saving time—it also helps developers focus on higher-level work, which aligns with the season's goal of cultivating productive, lasting habits. A Challenge to Build an Automation Habit Rob starts the episode by challenging listeners to track their daily tasks for a week. By logging the time spent on each activity, developers can more easily spot opportunities for automation. While seemingly quick, some tasks may take up substantial time over a week or month. Rob aims to help developers recognize areas where automation could eliminate or reduce these repetitive tasks, freeing them up for deeper work and problem-solving. Rob shares an example from a previous episode where he implemented the Pomodoro technique. A 25-minute focus session helped him stay on track, achieving more in less time. This mirrors the goal of automating frequent tasks: once the manual effort is removed, developers regain precious minutes or even hours they can reinvest in other areas. Targeting High-Value Tasks for Automation Both hosts encourage listeners to prioritize automating high-value tasks that have the most significant impact on daily productivity. Examples include checking ticket statuses, logging into various applications, running reports, or deploying code. Developers can reduce the time spent on these recurring tasks by creating automated scripts or setting up batch processes. Michael explains how automating certain daily activities can streamline workflows and make each workday smoother and more productive. The Developer's Toolkit: Scripting, Macros, and More Developers at all skill levels can benefit from automating their workflows using tools like scripts, macros, and batch processes. For example, A developer might execute several commands to set up a project each morning. Using automation, they can create a shell script to automate this setup, saving time and reducing errors. Another example looked at the value of using macros. These can be useful in applications like Excel, where automating data entry or calculations can benefit business developers. The episode also dives into how non-coding tasks can benefit from automation. Rob and Michael mention tools like If This Then That (IFTTT) and Zapier, which allow users to set up automated online workflows without writing code. Whether it's organizing files, batch-opening websites, or setting up automated alerts, these tools help streamline repetitive actions outside of coding. Episode Challenge: Automate One Task This episode challenges listeners to track their daily activities for a week and identify one repetitive task to automate. One task can be as simple as writing a script or macro to handle a recurring workflow. Another task, like setting up a CI/CD pipeline for code deployment, might be more complex. The aim is to find a process that takes up time every day. So spend an hour or two automating it and experience the time savings firsthand. The goal is to make this an ongoing habit—automate one task this week and continue the practice in the following weeks. This small step can quickly add up, leading to more streamlined and productive workdays. Rob and Michael encourage listeners to share their experiences and successes, building a supportive community of developers focused on continuous improvement. Final Takeaway: Commit to Small, Sustainable Changes This episode of Building Better Developers offers practical guidance on how automating tasks can lead to better productivity and less mental fatigue. Remember to start with a tiny, repetitive task, automate it, and then gradually apply this practice to other tasks. By building automation into our daily routines, developers can maximize their time. Leading to a more enjoyable and efficient work experience. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community The hosts invite listeners to explore resources like developer blogs, forums, and automation tools to enhance their automation journeys.
