How to optimize your behavior to
become a productive techie?
No emails, no trouble – If you don’t listen to my advice you will
end up being buried under a billion emails, most of them unread by the end of this
year. Emails are infectious. The biggest hindrance to a techie’s productivity,
is emails. As long as you can stick to messages confined to the subject area like
the one below, it is fine. But do not go beyond that and don’t you touch the body!
Get independence from your emails, be a loud and shameless conversationalist.
Be a caveman, do not ping, do not email, just go talk to the person next to
you.
Walk like quick-silver – Fly, Fly to the restroom and back, Fly to
the printer and back, Just fly, never walk. Redefine god speed and make time
for C++.
Do not carry a bag – One of the most important rules. Never
carry a bag/ purse/ lunch bag to work. There are hawks in the workplace who
monitor you meaninglessly and with a weird half-smile ask "Leaving early eh? eh? No work eh?". Just do not give scope for
such hawks to thrive, they hinder with your productive thoughts. Why should
people know when you come and when you go as long as the work gets done? Right?
Center social life on an electronic screen – Reprogram your schedule in such a way that
the basic activities such as exercising, eating and socializing revolves around these flashy electronic screens.
Read plenty of random stuff except emails - Research
states that people who read random stuff during work-time are 5 times more productive
than those who don’t.
Be Brute – Again, reiterating the fact that caveman behavior
best suits a techie. Be clear and precise about your decision. Say ‘No’
quickly, say ‘Yes’ even more quickly and make sure your ‘YES” is heard
throughout the organization. Believe in yourself. Just be as brute as you can.
P.S: Adherents, please
comment with a hi-five! If you do not agree with these, your smug criticism is most
welcome.
Interesting. But all of the above is applicable to non techies also.

ReplyDeleteWhat you're saying is completely true. I know that everybody must say the same thing, but I just think that you put it in a way that everyone can understand. I'm sure you'll reach so many people with what you've got to say.
