Taking a break from my normal nerdy-ness has been an interesting experience. I’ve learned that I can work nights, at least for a short stretch. I have quite enjoyed the combination of physical labor and mental tasks. That probably helped with staying awake.<\/p>\n
Another fun challenge was figuring out the organizational system and using that knowledge to solve problems, such as not enough room on the shelf for 3 sets of products to each go 8 wide. As a programmer, I imagine it can be quite challenging to account for variations when figuring out fit (though I’ve not tried to program such a system). Back to the physical world, having a good sense of space came in quite handy to fit things in.<\/p>\n
Agility, combined with core balance can also be handy for what we were doing with moving product around. For example, moving a short box holding 6 bottles from one shelf to another.<\/p>\n
It was also nice to have a clear(ish) cut between work and life. Work\/life balance can be a bit of a challenge programming from home. Sometimes work spills into life and sometimes life spills into work. I think sometimes that flexibility can be a good thing. You have to set and sometimes enforce boundaries, but know when to break them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
