I can become a manager..IF..

Posted bybhanu 3 Comments on I can become a manager..IF..
So the last post has these lines somewhere in it “I am feeling the drive to immerse myself in the preparation harder than i have ever done, to manage myself better than i have ever done, to again raise myself to the occasion, and suddenly those dreams about Dollars, that race, that challenge from others are not the biggest issues, the biggest issue here is to reinvent myself, issue is not to prove it to some one else in GD/PI that i am good enough, it is to convince myself that i am the one who deserves. “

So what am i gonna do for that?

First of all a manager has to manage himself in a better way, So from now on lets prioritize everything, at the moment preparation for GD/PI is of utmost importance , more important than those idle hours of issue less net surfing in office, more important than watching serials/movies/cricket on television , more important than my laziness..
It is not about whether i can do it or not, rather it is about putting my best foot forward, to do whatever best i can do at the moment. If the sword is not available for the soldier, he has to fight with the knife, but a true soldier has to fight(did i make any sense?)

Here is what i am planning to do..
Read TOI/HINDU and ET/BT for at least 2 hours a day

complement this with at least 1 hour read of magazines like India Today, Outlook, FrontLine, Business Today, CR and at least 15-20 such magazines.
Read specific web sites (like Forex, Management, HR etc) for about an hour during office time.

Complete 5-6 Computer Science subjects from Text books.
complete rest of the subjects from the guide for GATE.

Read about Wipro and Oracle in general from Internet and make reasonable notes about their business ideology.
Read about my project from a bit broader view.
watch English news/business news channels(late night debates) for some 2 hours.
Huff so that’s a BIG BIG task and it will require a good amount of consistency from my side.
So that’s a few resolutions/guidelines(as resolution is a very hard word and i am already doubtful about some of them)

OFFICE-
A deserving manager can’t have a bad reputation at his workplace, that i am currently having .. here are points to improve it in a weeks time –
-reach office early, at least by 9’o clock, and than shoot 1-2 mails to PL/ manager(much better than reaching t usual 11- 12)
-utilize some of office time in reading news papers/magazines in library and doing some purposeful net surfing .
-but simultaneously devoting around 4-5 hours for office work.
-meet my manager at least once in a day , updating him about the efforts(exaggerated ofcource) that i am putting to learn about the product and the problems that i am facing. Once he sees my seriousness for the task, he will surely get impressed.
-stay late on every other day .. work till 5:30(till 80% junta leaves) .. then take printouts of articles.. and maybe shoot a mail to manager/PL at 7o’clock and then leave.

HOME- Here are points to improve productivity of studies at home-
-Don’t waste time, either study or enjoy something.
-2 hours in morning and 4 hours in evening…. that will be enough i guess, VERY SIMPLE 🙂

off! .. things are getting messy ..its already 4:30 am when will i sleep ? when will wake up? how will i go to office on time .. and what about joining the GYM for muscle building? what about travel log? what about the proposed website on Logical problems? what about my engagement plans? it was supposed to be on 20th FEB.. but now i will be having my GD/PIs at that time 🙁 , when will i go home to see my newly born nephew? when to start solving programming problems on online judges? what about writing those stories/poems/shaayris?
Ohh my GOD .. help me! i am getting into too many boats.
