![]() Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. Loved it. Even though I already know a lot about task and time management, "The Cycle" idea is very cool, and the way it interacts with longer term goals is cool as well. I like self-improvement books. I like techinical books. I really like technical self-improvement books. His system is similar to GTD, but I like his tips on email (You only need one mail storage folders: 'Save') and his steps to automation ring true. По тайм-менеджменту изданы сотни книг, но только эта написана сисадмином для сисадминов. Автор учитывает специфику их труда: работая над долгосрочными проектами, сисадмины вынуждены постоянно прерываться, чтобы наладить технику, помочь пользователям. И даже овладев всеми тонкостями профессий, сисадмин задерживается по вечерам и работает по выходным. Основное внимание уделяется приемам, которые помогут сисадминам не только вести повседневные дела, но и справляться с неизбежными критическими ситуациями. Вы научитесь управлять отвлекающими факторами, исключать непроизводительные затраты времени, вести список дел, разрабатывать процедуры для регулярно совершаемых действий, сосредотачиваться на текущей задаче, расставлять приоритеты в соответствии с ожиданиями клиентов, документировать и автоматизировать рабочие процессы для ускорения их выполнения. Издание насыщено примерами, взятыми автором из его долгой карьеры, на протяжении которой он занимался обслуживанием рабочих станций и серверов, а также разработкой ПО и систем безопасности. А это значит, что читатель получит советы бывалого человека. Томас давно занимается проблемой тайм-менеджмента, ведет обучающие семинары. Приемы, которыми он делится с коллегами, проверены на практике. Они работают! Well-written, funny. A geek sysadmin speaks to his fellow geeks in the language they share. How to manage time, prioritize, manange expectations, make long-range plans, implement, and reflect on all of the plans and how they're working. Top notch, ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

His suggestion of a by-the-pound cleaner is a good one. Secondly, the example Cycle routine described somewhat elides administrative overhead such as commuting, filling out the timesheets, waiting, and running through the Cycle; and offers only a brief glimpse at feedback between planned time and actual task time. But it is, after all, the foundation for a system of continual improvement. (
