Efficiency is time

Technical work is a youth meal, but also a paradox.

On the one hand, it requires us to have the energy and health to fight through several nights,

On the one hand, it requires us to have a flexible brain and the ability to learn quickly,

On the one hand, it requires us to step through countless pits without being too outdated.

Above all, there is no escaping time.

An all-nighter is defined as working non-stop into the next day, without sleep.

Fast learning means learning something in less time than most ordinary people.

Technical experience tends to depend on years of work, and the longer you work, the more holes you will step in, but there are also cases where technology changes and past knowledge is no longer available.

The business victory of the Internet is not just a good idea and idea, not just deep funding and background, but also a universal characteristic: fast.

Work not study

Programmers must distinguish between learning and work.

Study is very important, one day does not study may be eliminated, but what to study is more important.

Even if well-educated and knowledgeable, it does not necessarily have a positive effect on work.

If at all, it should be about learning how to be more effective at work.

So don’t always get caught up in learning new techniques, expanding the depth and breadth of things.

What the company pursues is efficiency, the faster the better, followed by quality, which can be optimized later, but only if the product is launched first.

Your personal goal should also be to be efficient, in line with the company, which will save you a lot of detours and free up more time.

Hardware devices

Can use hardware to solve all buy buy, do not try to use methods to replace.

display

If you can use two screens, never use one. One screen for code, one screen for effect

If you can use three screens, never use two. Read documents on a third screen.

Four screens for finance,N screens for security, each additional screen, half the time.

It’s worth noting that the better the screen, the less damage.

Memory/Hard Disk

Many companies have a common problem, is to want the horse to run, but do not give late grass.

The computer at work may be a run-of-the-mill old model with little memory and a mechanical hard drive

Not enough to support daily updates of increasingly performance-demanding systems and software

If an app takes a long time to open and edit, you can imagine how slow it is.

At least 16GB of memory, preferably a solid state drive, which is the most basic requirement.

Office chair

An indirect but deadly effect on efficiency.

Sedentary is one of the characteristics of office workers, every increase in comfort, work efficiency will improve a little.

On the contrary, if the chair is not comfortable, it will affect the mood, and then affect the work attitude, irritability is unable to effectively deal with things.

It is more important to take a lunch break. A good sleep will help you recover mentally and physically in the afternoon.

A human body mechanics office chair can be adjusted up and down, before and after adjustment is necessary.

Generally speaking, as long as ordinary people lie down for 10 minutes, they can be fully revived, but even if lying on the table for an hour, still dizzy, but also to the cervical spine and other injuries.

Software applications

Mainly at the communication and recording level.

Here only describes the core principles of things, not software recommendations.

Mind mapping

Mind mapping lays equal emphasis on text and text, which is manifested as hierarchical structure and divergent thinking

To be able to show a complex thing in a relatively clear context

Whether it’s organizing your own work or describing things to someone else, it’s a great idea

Cut focus, screen

The written language may need to be organized by oneself, which tests one’s communication ability

But pictures and videos tell the truth, and most scenes need to document the process and results

For example, some unrepeatable or occasional bugs, some words are not convenient to describe the problem

I often use some tools to capture JPG and GIF images, including mobile phone recording and computer recording

Easy to communicate with people, that alone, save a lot of time

Meetings and communication are actually the most time consuming part of the workday, sometimes far more than development time.

Cloud notes

You can’t remember everything with your brain, and you can’t count on your memory.

Some document address, some to-do list, some log entry, all need a structured cloud note to organize.

The more you record, the clearer you organize, and the easier it is to use

Things like account numbers, passwords, project addresses, and notes can be recorded and copied and pasted

In short, use tools instead of your own memory for faster use.

Every record is convenient for subsequent sorting, reflection and optimization. Without records, there will be no next step.

Write in the last

You are the only one who knows how productive you are.

Common efficiency problems are easy to solve, and are simply resources and skills.

However, private efficiency needs to be analyzed and solved point to point.

Like some technical post application plug-ins, tools and skills are not described here.

However, as long as the public efficiency is solved, the secondary has been improved by more than half.
