Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.
Albert Einstein
Create momentum of adding right values to your solution so you will be proud forever”
Why
This subject is a bit hard to measure for IT-archiects because I think it is about adding values not just the amount of work.
Did you ask yourself how produtive you were today? Did you do your best to clarily goal? or did you do your best to make progress to achievment?
I think you can daily ask yourself some of these questions and answer them honestly. then you can find the problem why you are not so productive as you wish? be focus on being productive instead of busy and Efficiency is doing better what is already being done.
The technological revolution that is just beginning to all digitalization areas has the potential to dramatically lift profitability for firm owners. The stakeholders will need to have a better strategic vision of how to harness these technologies to make the design process more efficient.
What is productivity?
“resulting in or providing a large amount or supply of something” or “having positive results” explained in cambrigde distionary.IT have been on a solid run over the past several years. It-architects can be the point there plan get to effict products. The is 80/20 we are busy but not effectiv. The value is your time to be at creative it-architect,I think there are som principles to get aligement with :
- Integrity is a good catchword that is similar to character but provides us with a different way of looking at the ideas of character. The root of integrity means “whole” or “undivided,” . A wall or a building that is strong and has no cracks is said to have integrity. The same could be said for great IT-architects.
- Honesty is the best policy, but I would add that honesty is the only policy for great IT-architects. Think about it. Why do people hedge the truth? Usually for a few basic reasons: They are either afraid of the fakes or they are trying to hide something. “If he will lie to them, will he lie to me?”.
- The ability to make decisions—good decisions—about what we will and will not do with our actions is at the core of what we become in regard to our character.
How
Become more productive with these habits:
- Manage your energy. Find your flow.
- Focus on most important tasks first. Have prioritized list of your tasks!
- Cultivate deep work (even if it means saying no more often). Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a demanding task. It’s a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time.
- Keep a distraction list to stay focused. Write down ideas you think of while you’re working.
- Prioritization is the essential skill that you need to make the very best use of your own efforts and those of your team.
- Use the 80/20 rule to focus your time on the most impactful tasks.
- Break tasks into smaller pieces. Do it with your team.
- Make fewer decisions and document all your architecture decisions.
- Eliminate inefficient communication, agree on the best way for to communication for your team.
- Reflect on your work. Learn from successes as well as mistakes.
- Plan for when things go wrong. Always have plan B.
- Don’t multitask. it is alway inefficient.
