I'm in a lead role now, and I tried my best to do away with meetings keeping in line the general resentment for meetings among the devs. But, I often see that it's counter productive for the team as a whole in the long run. With

Well, english is my second language, and I remember becoming fluent at it by reading comics when I was a kid. It was both fun and educational at the same time. Also, I was a 80's kid and it did help that the era/place i lived in

IMO, more than motivation, more than all the tip/tricks/productivity hacks, the one thing that keeps a person going for long periods of time is sheer discipline. When you make something a part of your daily routine, irrespective
