[Book of August] Rework

Most of us are all too familiar with the daily grind of a workplace. All the workplaces are alike although the culture may differ slightly. 

We know the pain of going through excruciating meetings that manage to belabour a simple thing to gigantic proportions of absurdity (similar to this sentence, I must say)!

"Meetings are poisonous"; they kill productivity. Oddly enough (or is it?) Outlook cannot show a 15 minute meeting, it works in a step size of 30 minutes. 

Sorry, 15 minutes = 30 minutes, huh?

This would be my mantra; try to make meetings as short as possible. To make it simple; I liked the book and the SMS-like advices it gave. 

I don't have much to write so I'll let some of the highlights from the book to speak for itself. As you would deduce, these are the things I liked in the book.

Learn to say no - it's a rare trait to learn!

One of my favorites - teaching sincerely goes a long way to earn a loyal customer 

My absolute favorite - a better writer is always better in thinking of a better solution. A better writer is always your best bet.

ASAP kills! Avoid it :)

Need I say more?

Back cover of the book gives a good summary.

Hmmm, it's not worth to be a perfectionist.

Yay!

I am nearing that mark and seen it on countless resumes. I'm wondering what does it mean?
