Being Productive

The aim of this post is to organize my ideas and also share 3 aspect of my day that I believe helps me to became more productive. Pomodoro Technique Since I first listen about the pomodoro technique I got   really interested in it. I always had the feeling that I could produce more if I work less. Since I started using it I came studying the  physiological side of the technique and the more I use more I feel that I'm productive working less. Organize the goals But there's another point that I keep in mind, is that I have to produce a certain amount of work per day, and not necessary I have to work 8 hours per day to produce it. This is another rule that I try to follow, normally in the very begging of my day I ask myself: What do I have to do today? Normally I write the goals down in a piece of paper, then that becomes my goals for the day. I try to be fair to myself in the definition, I don't have to show it to any boss or manager, so if I put more work in the list

Most usefull git site so far

Two teams in my current company decide to give git a try. So in the last weeks I have expend sometime talking about DVCS. One item that I have seen that is difficult to understand about git is that it has many "areas". To explain the movement of changes between the areas normally I draw a picture in a paper with many arrows, showing the movement of changes for each git command... Gladly I found the site that taught me this: http://www.ndpsoftware.com/git-cheatsheet.html If you have to explain any git command to someone, definitely I recommend you to use this site. cheers...
