A smart goals template is a means to scientifically layout and track your plan with precision.
There is a plethora of information pertaining to this topic, so I will try and make it specific and practical.
a smart goals template
To begin and well before the smart goals template is created one must be sure that the project or purpose for the goal is solid.
This means an examination or inventory of who you are, what you are, and why you are. Some insight to this here. [Ref Project Mayhem]
So let’s assume that part is behind you. Here’s a short story.
In 1979 I came to the US, by 1982 I had my first opportunity as a line manager.
a smart goals templateI was appointed manager of the Turning Department at Western Gear Corporation a manufacturer of precision transmissions for both commercial and military aircraft.
The era was that of the “One Minute Manager” [Ref One Minute Manager Video With Ken Blanchard] and “Thriving on Chaos”.
a smart goals template
This is the plan, see I have a smart goals template.
If you have an individual or a group of individuals and they are not well managed or supervised their attitude towards a task will be…..
….approached based upon:
• The work ethic of the individual.
• His/her morals, meaning what is it can I get away with today.[Based on the notion that people are basically lazy]
• The extent that he/she believes someone is watching their movements. [The cat is away, the mouse will play]
The One Minute Manager cites the example where the above occurred, but then also cites what occurred when the individual was challenged.
“So Bill, how long does it take to make one of these widgets?” Bill replies “oh about 10 minutes”.
Bill is half way through his shift, he has worked four hours. There are fifteen widgets completed. “So Bill, you have worked four hours and you have fifteen widgets completed, 15 x 10 = 150 minutes = 2-1/2 hours work, what did you do for the other 1-1/2 hours?”

Effective Time Management Techniques To Teach Your Employees | Webinar 01.06....BizLibrary
Do we ever really manage time? It frequently feels like our work week manages us. The reality of effective time management isn’t to try and squeeze more and more productive minutes out of every day, but to find ways to focus energy and effort into those hours we allocate to work.

Priority Management System – More Than Managing Your TimeAlecia Stringer
Today’s entrepreneur finds themselves working longer hours, yet they struggle to make headway on the tasks that will keep their business profitable. A sighing “I need more hours in my day” is often their weary war cry. In all reality what is truly needed is not more hours in the day, but a strategic plan that maximizes productivity and efficiency.
Our approach to meetings & communications needs to adjust if we are to make the most of the new opportunities afforded by remote working. A recent Gartner poll showed that 48% of employees will likely work remotely at least part of the time after COVID-19 versus 30% before the pandemic (Gartner, 08-06-20). Many of these workers will continue to work from home even if, & when measures are put in place, or a vaccine is produced that would reassure people that it is safe to return to the office. The future of work will see many workers spending part, or all of their working week working from home. We need to adjust our daily routines to prevent future problems for our health & well-being.
Find out how you manage this excellent resource 'Time'. Please arrange to candidly answer-if you are slipping-we have remedial measures to look at. On the other hand, if strong on managing time you are almost there...

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

60.
61. The Timothy Ferriss 'not-to-do' list 1. Do not answer calls from unrecognized phone numbers To do so would just results in unwanted interruption. Let it go to voicemail instead. 2. Do not email first thing in the morning or last thing at night. The former scrambles your priorities and plans for the day; the latter gives you insomnia. 3. Do not agree to meetings or calls with no clear agenda or end time. 4. Do not let people ramble Forget "How's it going?" when someone calls. Stick with "I'm in the middle of getting something done, but what's going on?"
62. The Timothy Ferriss 'not-to-do' list 5. Do not check email constantly — check at set times only. Focus on the execution of your top to-do's, instead of responding to others' manufactured emergencies. 6. Do not bother fixing small things. Define one single, most-important task for each day. Often, it's just a matter of letting little bad things happen (return a phone call late, pay a small late fee, lose an unreasonable customer). 7. Take at least one day a week off of your digital leash. Turn it off or leave it at home. So what if you return a phone call an hour later or the next morning? 8. Do not expect work to fill a void. Work is not all of life. Force yourself to work within tight hours. Focus, get the critical few priorities done, and get out.
Does not meet expectationsMeets expectationsExceeds expectationsManaging expectations is about perception.Expectations should be set up front.Expectations should be realistic.Communicate early and often.Throw in a freebie.
Overworked and underpaid Silicon Valley entrepreneur was tired of the 80 work weeks and $40, 000 salaries. With an abundance of energy and vivacity for life Tim was tired of the “deferred life plan” (slave – save – retire) before he hit the age of 30. Determined to live instead of living to work Tim challenged himself to overcome time and mobility in order to live a balanced, and luxurious lifestyle. In an age of information overload Tim was chained to his desk and was constantly communicating through email via a Blackberry or laptop. With aspirations of being part of the New Rich culture Tim created a simple to follow lifestyle acronym in order to become part of this New Rich group of living in the now while balancing work. He calls his time management methodology DEAL – Define, Eliminate, Automate and Liberate. Living his methodology Tim says he works 4 hours a week while making on average $40,000 a month. Always perfecting and pushing the envelope with his methodology here are is a quick overview of how to become liberated and work a supposed 4 hour workweek. Critics are quick to point out that because Tim enjoys what he does not everything he does is considered work by his definition but he does state that although everyone may not be able to work a 4 hour workweek his tips will help anyone double their income, cut your hours in half and double your vacation time.
