有目标,没管理(续一)

距离写这篇文章已经快两个月了,令人欣慰的是有了一点小小的变化——基本上,晚上是自己做着吃了,至少比出去吃的次数多多了。

但是也付出了不小的代价。因为工作地点离家比较远,一般要七点钟才能到家。等到做好、吃好、休息好(不想马上收拾:-()、收拾好,就接近九点了。然后洗个澡,上上网或者和老婆聊聊天就差不多可以睡觉了。这样,看书的时间就完全没有了。不学习不进步,心里总是虚虚的,而且上班时间学东西效果总是不好,会犯困。

另外,英语也很长时间没学了,写blog的次数也少起来了,已经有些时日没有用心写过一篇了。

下面罗列今后一段时间的打算,以免故意忘了:-(。

  • 重新开始学英语。现在上下班的路上会看一点技术文章,以后还是改学英语吧,背两个单词,读两句话。
  • 晚饭后要看书,哪怕只有一两页,贵在坚持啊!
  • 完成工作两年系列最后一篇文章,然后写一个关于Perl编程起步的系列。

后记:既然称作“续一”,肯定是为写“续二”做个铺垫,就算凑一个目标管理系列的blog吧。

只想写写程序

MF Bliki: LeadershipDivide | Martin Fowler:

“A goodly part of the problem is that most delivery folks, in particular technical folks, aren’t really interested in the operational management issues. They’re interested in the project they’re on, and on technological issues generally. That’s quite enough to keep the brain full. Questions such as the balancing act between hiring and demand, doing the resource management dance, finding and keeping clients, watching the balance sheet – these just aren’t interesting.

I must admit I’m guilty as anyone at this. When I joined Roy gave my carte blance to crash any meeting I wanted to. But even when he’s dragged me to operational committee meetings I have to confess I have little interest in the issues they are discussing. I know they are important – it’s just that I’d rather have someone else worrying about them. Who knows I might be good at operational management (though I doubt it), but even so it doesn’t excite me the way my regular work does – and I have precious little time to do that.”
