Kenneth always did speak plainly, honestly and was authentic. Now, all
of us from time to time fall into the habit of "wait, let me do this
wee bit and I'll provide an update". Figure out a way in which you can
reward yourself when you (over) communicate. With time you'll learn
which part of the update is necessary and where lie the trimmings.
Putting together a plan is based on knowledge gained from patterns. As
an example, if you have been regularly going in hikes (or, traveling)
you unconsciously acquire the method of getting ready/packing.
Similarly for projects - the more you do or, participate, the better
your skills become in being able to sharpen estimates and plan for the
worst.

This is an amazing read, I love the way he conveyed what went wrong
and how things can be improved.
I think this applies to everything you take in life too.

Hi,

Please have a read https://lawgon.livejournal.com/34609.html

And then think about it as a mail you received in real life, not for
GSoC. All of those
points are still valid.
