I need to eliminate my down time at work. There are times where I don’t have too much to do work wise and a question arisis? What should I do? What should I read? I need to have some clear goals on what I want to do.
In the morning, I usually read my development blogs. I have cut the number of them to only a small number. Only a few get updated every day. Thus, I only spend 10-20 minutes reading them. After that, when I don’t want to get back to work, what should I do?
There are other times when during the day, I don’t feel like working, or I don’t have anything work wise to do. What should I work on?
I should read books! I have access to some of the amazing book online through Safari. I should be reading them and bettering myself! That’s what I should do. I think I will.
In many places I worked for, I used to do a lot of reading. I read a lot of books. The environment here is not so easy or flexible in this regard. If I start reading, it would be very noticeable and I get interrupted. That’s why I should start reading online books here at Markit. I should be able to finish a few here. I think it would benefit me and also kill my down time. I don’t need any down time.
I am here working to get better as a developer and also to do all of the tasks I’m asked to do. That’s who I am.
