    For every system you build it is critical to have effective monitoring. Yet most of us have almost no monitoring for our most ubiquitous, most complicated, most important component - ourselves.
    For every system you build it is critical to have effective monitoring. Yet most of us have almost no monitoring for our most ubiquitous, most complicated, most important component:- ourselves.

    When we are not operating at our full potential, not only do we make mistakes, but we can also force errors / inefficiencies in others and failures in our systems. If we were a software component we would identify our core elements, monitor them, and set alerts. So how do we add this feature? By being mindful and compassionate, both unlocked by the practice of meditation.
    When we are not operating at our full potential, we make mistakes, but we also force errors and inefficiencies in others. If we were a software component we would identify our core elements, monitor them, and act. So how do we achieve this personally? By being mindful and compassionate, both unlocked by the practice of meditation.

    By telling my personal story, this session will cut through the hype (and iPhone apps) and give you a simple path to set about this quest to realise better uptime and quality-of-service, providing examples of the benefits it brings, and notes on how to avoid the potential ego-driven-outages.
    This session will cut through the hype (and iPhone apps) and tap into your mindfulness and compassion. You will see how to keep human beings at the core of everything you say and do; how to stay awake and stop yourself (even when "flow" wants you to keep going); and to push yourself to confront those tasks you really don't want to perform.
