How can you develop resilience when working with new technology?

- I recommend reading book mindset by Carol S Dweck which talks about growth mindset. How to identify fixed mindset in one’s own life and cultivating growth mindset - with growth mindset we can build more resilience and persistence towards the goal of learning new technologies. - growth mindset helps in cultivating an attitude and curiosity towards learning. - with fixed mindset mind things I already know a lot about other technologies what is the need to know about new technologies but growth mindset would make person curious to know bout the new technology and if an opportunity arises can setup up learn basis and take that opportunity, start building skills by doing daily deliberate practice.

- one think I’ve found helpful is asking questions if you are stuck with a problem while learning new technology. It could be a problem you are trying to solve or a topic about the technology that you don’t fully understand. Do not hesitate to ask questions to your colleagues thinking what they think about me. - Another way is to discuss topics with experts in your field or team who you can reach out to. Ask relevant questions like if they have worked on a certain area of the new technology? How was the experience? What difficulties or challenges they faced and how they overcame it?

Sharing your struggles and successes with others will not only help in relieving stress but also opens up new avenues for collective problem-solving. It will also foster a positive environment where seeking guidance from experts, giving feedback, and supporting each other is integral to the team culture.

- one things that has helped me into create small atomic habits as suggested in the book atomic habits. - Good habits and routines reduce stress. Lesser stress the more empowered you feel in dealing with challenges. - apart from the mentioned relaxation techniques I’d like to add activities like going for short brisk walk and reading. And avoiding habit forming social media - the usual suspects. They can be more distracting than relaxing. Also priorities human interactions over using phone to help manage stress. In my personal experience, these things can really help reducing stress by giving exercise to body and mind.

Making mistakes, facing difficulties, and being overwhelmed are all part of the learning process. However, these feelings should not be perceived as a negative force. Some level of stress can be motivating and can contribute to increased productivity - striking a balance between challenging yourself and avoiding burn out. Collaborating with team members can greatly benefit everyone working with a new technology.

- doing small projects / exercise can accelerate learning and build confidence with the new technology - read about possible use cases of the new technology and think of ideas and write them down. - try to build a Flow ( Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi). If the new technology is boring , try to do something more challenging . If you find things too hard retrospect is there any knowledge gap you can fill to up-skill to make things easy.
