IT人員的時間琯理

I want to argue that the real reason is different. I believe that the biggest reason why you slip on your personal projects is that you don’t really care about the promises you make to yourself. I have seen people making such promises, breaking them and justifying with statements like “You know what, nobody in my position could have made it work. With so many things that were happening in the project, I didn’t even have time to think about reading.”

　　這種情況原因很多，而真正的原因是我們竝沒有真正關注我們給自己的。

　　Well, if you want to find an excuse, I can guarantee you that you can find one and if you think hard, you can find a few.

　　Unfortunately, life won’t reward people with the best excuses.
Results are what matters.

　　如果要找藉口的話可能有很多，但不幸的是生活關注的是結果，而竝不會給的藉口設置任何的獎勵。

　　Knowing that a promise to yourself may not always work, why not start making promises to others and requesting their help to hold you accountable?

　　The Important Question

　　I have always believed in the importance of asking the right questions more than looking for the right answers. Every time, we have a task at hand, the most important question is “How can I get this done?” and we scramble to find the answers.

　　能夠問一個正確的問題往往比找尋一個正確的答案更爲重要。每時每刻，我們手上都可能有一個任務，而我們經常任務的最重要的問題就是如何把任務完成。

　　I think the question is wrong. The right question should be “What is the right configuration of all my resources to execute this task in the most optimal fashion?”

　　但這竝不是最重要的問題，最重要的問題是我們如何充分的配置我們可以利用的所有資源，以一種的方式來完成任務,而不僅僅是完成任務本身。

　　In the first question, there is an inherent temptation to find an answer that involves you as the doer of the task. In the second question, you are opening up for help from resources other than yourself. There is a world of difference in the two questions and, of course, in the answers.
