Before Optimyzed Brain’s bootcamp I didn’t have a clearly formed goal for what it is I am trying to accomplish in this new challenging role, and what I am working towards in the next stage of my career. This made it hard for me to prioritize what was most important for the team to focus on and I was initially focused on just keeping things moving on the team, but wasn’t delivering much improvement to the user experience. 

After going through the bootcamp I approach my job with a greater sense of purpose. I refocused myself around my mission to deliver great user experiences and that helped me build a stronger passion for my work and team. Now the team is doing more impactful work by proactively finding problems in the user experience and making improvements that delight our users.

Now, I worry less about trying to finish everything and more calmly just focus on the most important tasks each week. The insights from the Optimyzed Brain’s bootcamp helped me to restructure my team in a way that reduced the workload on myself. This was a huge win: I went from working 50-60 hours per week to 40-50 hours per week. That’s more than 10 hours gained each week. Now I have more time to fill my life with fulfilling activities and am almost daily going to the gym, meeting up with a friend, or doing something fun.

Furthermore, before taking the bootcamp I didn’t have a healthy diet or eating routine. I just tried to eat as little as possible so as not to gain weight. Now I have a much more balanced diet, with consistent breakfast/lunch/dinner that supports my health & fitness goals and helps to optimize my brain for clearer thinking. With a few small adjustments, I found that I was able to achieve higher levels of energy, reduced sluggishness and more positivity in my daily work within a couple of weeks!
