How to Punch The Sunday Jitters in The Face

I have met TK in a college class at Diablo Valley College when he gave a guest presentation on Software Sales. During his presentation he mentioned his book and it sounded interesting because I have certainly felt that “Sunday Jitters” feeling in the past.

In this book, TK lays out how he unlocked high levels of productivity through continuous self-reflection and iterative improvement. To a software engineer this sound a lot like applying Agile project management methodology to ones life. Agile is a default approach for most companies in 2022: 94% of organizations reportedly practice agile and have 70% success rate¹.

From first few pages, this approach made sense to me. If I am already doing this at work, why not attempt to do it in my personal life?

Additionally I am a huge proponent of setting short term and long term goals in a professional environment and staying accountable to your plan (it’s okay to tweak it throughout a year!). How to Punch the Sunday Jitters in The Face helps you apply a similar strategy to your personal life through:

• Weekly exercise 👈 I am now doing this now 😎
• 45-Day challenge
• 365-Day plan
• 5-Year strategy

TK suggests actionable items to help you plan, self-reflect, and unlock new levels of success through out the book. Each chapter is full of actionable items. My favorite quote from this book:

Dreaming coupled with Belief and Discipline … enables us to take charge when it comes to our goals, so they can become reality.

-TK Kader

How to Punch The Sunday Jitters in The Face is an actionable and fun to read book. If you’re feeling a little uneasy on Sundays — you should give it a try. It’s short and easy to read. TK made it just as long as it needs to be to get the point across (page 1).
