Re: How To Minimize Your Value to The Company

* t3rmin4t0r wrote a really great post “How To Minimize Your Value to The Company“. Here is my views:
- Answer questions on devel forums - Yes. I used to maintain some forums, which gave me some ‘pet’ name!
- Write a technical blog - Yes (sometime!)
- Live the company values - Yes
- Write cool hacks - Yes.
- Have a serious hobby - Yes.
- Contribute to an open source project - Yes.
It depends. All of us know that ‘How much business you bring to company?’ is the core question. But, I am not feeling that my value has decreased or become minimized yet.
Happy Birthday K

Keeping things in existance
nirav April 7th, 2007
Getting present to the need to keep things in existance! I make promises and commitments throughout the day, honor many of them, and then miss some. What I noticed, was that the things that did not complete today, did not complete even tomorrow, go out of existance for me! I use iCal to keep my schedules, but if something is not accomplished for a week, I forget about it.
Of course, the mind has a very limited retention. And I will miss things that I don’t write down. Writing down something keeps it in existance. This is not a new thing, I have been preaching and practicing it for long, but just reached another level in it!
Have been talking to people at office about keeping promises in existance for the last few days. Many have taken up using calendar systems. I think this is a solid step towards delivering on our promises. Good going!
