What I should have done different/better
They say the best way to improve yourself is if, at the end of every day, you stand in front of the mirror and think over what you did, and think of what you should have done better. Or, at least that’s what Jack Welch or someone or other wrote.
I figure it’s worth a go, so I’ll try to type something up every evening.
Things I did right:
- Buy the umbrella
- Eat my veggies!
- Start listing up the features of Job Log
- Sent out all the stuff I had to do for Jun and Emi, early
Things I did wrong:
- Eat rice crackers
- Left work early? No, the problem was leaving work before H-san came back
Things I should have done better:
- Asked earlier about the installer for Job Log ie take the initiative faster
- Asked H-san when the Job Log feature list was due
- Do the feature list, even if it wouldn’t have been perfect – not everything has to be right the first time, it’s sometimes as important to have a rough idea up for discussion
- Be less anti-social at my desk ie don’t rely on H-san
- Ask how I should have set myself up for mail, Cyboze, printers etc
- Think about the role I want to play in this company
- Consider sitting down and talking to the guys up there… after all, I’m going to be one of them, right? So I should start acting like one of them
