Getting the Job Done in Less Time
We all wish we could stop time or be the Flash, and complete all our tasks in record time. Yet even mere mortals can do more with less:
- Learn From Your Mistakes. Mistakes are good because they’re learning experiences. But only if you really understand how to avoid them the next time. The fewer mistakes you make, the faster you’ll get things done. But never ever try to get things right the first time.
- Maintain a Great Inventory 2.0. Programmers reuse batches of codes when creating new programs. After all, there’s no sense in reprogramming a clock when you’ve done it before. If you save an easily accessible body of previous work, you can reuse parts of it in future projects.
- Plan Well. A great plan helps you concretize the concept by making everything clear from the start, so that all you have to do is execute. Acting with the long-term in mind provides direction, and makes the short-term a lot easier to perform.
- Just Do It. Nike’s slogan is very popular, because it’s sensible advice. Instead of getting bogged down with perfection (again, never try to get things right the first time) and making up the plan as you go, the actual work should only involve implementation. A good plan is a good roadmap that shows how to get things done, and you can always fix your mistakes after the first draft.
In short, it’s all about making sure the actual work is as free from problems as possible.
