Monsters eating my time

A busy Monday morning  in Spring 2017

What is my happiness, in work?

My happiness, somehow I define it in few levels:

  • I am happy because of  I was born in a kind family.
  • I am happy when I was educated and guided to reach my favorite expertise, Software Engineering.
  • I am happy when I’ve been working in the exactly Industry that I’ve been pursuing.
  • And I earn money for what I contributed.
  • I am happy when I have a change I work with the specialists who have the same vision with me and pursuing it.
  • I would be a lot happy if I can create more jobs for people and help them less suffer earning money.

Back to the today story, I want to talk about how to archive more by doing less, so then I can go faster and further to the goal I pursuit.

You cannot clone yourself

If you’re reading this, you’re also educated well enough and have been interested in making something better. Do you agree with me, sometimes, you want a clone of yourself to help you handle or at least share with you what you are gonna do? Then you can solve everything easily 2x faster.

How could that be? If it couldn’t, then how we can do stuffs faster and archive more with a limited time?

I’ve been spending a lot of time studying how to be less busy and reduce the risk in my daily work, also in life.

Don’t repeat yourself (DRY)

As much ability you have, as much time that you could spend for repeat jobs. So, to keep going for the next goal, you cannot just repeat yourself doing that. I saw some monsters that eating your time here.

  • You know solutions. Of course, you know the solution, then you have to solve it. It’s called Bottlenecks.
  • As many problems that you solved, as many potential problems that you need to take care of, plus the new ones related. It’s called Singleton man.
  • You want to dive to 30 meters deep into the sea, but every time, you must come up to the surface because of someone need some answers from you. It’s called Focusing distractions.
