Juggling
Three balls in the air, many things at once, and what that teaches about focus, load and change.
My handle is a juggling joke, and juggling is my favourite metaphor for real life: cognitive load, context switching, too many things at once. I code while juggling. Literally.
Explaining tech while juggling
On my YouTube channel I explain tech topics while three balls are in the air. It started as speaking practice: you cannot juggle and ramble at the same time. It became a format. When I looked at my filler words afterwards, the champion was a “so” at the start of a sentence. So.
A juggler who looks like me
Juggling Lab, the juggling pattern animator, only had one juggler figure, and it was male. So I added a female juggler avatar to my fork of it, with arms that do not disappear behind the dress when they cross, and one avatar per juggler in passing patterns.
Juggling for teams
If you want juggling as a workshop tool for focus, change and teams, that lives at The Juggling Company.
