Tips for Work
Most of us spend the most time at work, so let’s start there. If you have a to-do list that’s a mile long — or worse yet, no to-do list at all — here’s what you can do:
1. Do less. This is my favorite productivity tip, as long-time readers know — simplify your schedule by doing fewer things but focusing on the important things. This will greatly increase the impact of the time you do work, decreasing the time you need to work. What about the tasks you don’t do? See the tips below for more on dealing with them.
2. Delegate. If a task needs to be done but is not one of your most important tasks, and it can be done by someone else, delegate it. Sometimes you can get rid of half your to-do list by finding others who can do the task as well or even better than you can.
3. Limit your workday (or adjust your hours). If you work more than 8 hours a day, by setting a limit of 8 hours you’ll force yourself to focus on getting the must-do tasks done within that limit. If you work 8 hours a day, try limiting yourself to 6 hours. You’ll find that you’ll prioritize, work more efficiently, and waste less time, so that you can get the work done within that time frame. I try to give myself a 4- or 5-hour window on most days. What if you can’t reduce your hours (maybe you’re required to work a certain number of hours)? See if you can shift your work hours either earlier or later than the rest of the crowd. That’ll reduce commute time if you don’t commute during the busy traffic hours, and if you work when almost no one else is in the office you can get tons more done.
4. Get the important stuff done early. Pick the top 2-3 things you need or want to accomplish today, and get those done first. While on other days you might push these important things back (and possibly not get them done at all), if you do them first the rest of your day will be gravy. In fact, if you have the freedom, you can sometimes even call it a day after you get the important stuff done — the rest can wait until tomorrow.
5. Ask your boss to re-prioritize for you. If you don’t have control over your schedule or to-do list, talk to your boss. Tell him you are trying to be more effective with your time, and you only have time for X number of things today (say, 3-4 things) … so ask him to pick those things for you. Tell him if you try to do everything today you’ll be less effective and may not get as many things done or do as good a job. This prioritizing is essentially what you’d do yourself (see the first tip) if you had the freedom.
6. Batch tasks. Instead of interspersing your work day with small tasks all mixed together, try to group similar tasks and do them at once. For example, instead of responding to emails throughout the day, batch them and do all your emails once (or twice) a day. Do all your paperwork at once. Make all phone calls in one batch. Do all errands at once. This grouping of tasks saves a lot of time and allows you to focus better on the important tasks.
7. Focus on one project and get it done. Instead of juggling a large number of projects, set aside a block of time to do one project until completion. For me, this often means setting aside half a day or a day (I try to break my projects down into manageable chunks) to work on a project, and I try to complete it if at all possible. Often this means getting all the resources and information you need beforehand, so you don’t have to look for it or wait on it when you’re ready to actually work on the project. This also means clearing my schedule, so I’ll get other tasks done beforehand and I won’t schedule anything else for that block of time. Then work on that project exclusively and try very hard to get it done. This, I’ve found, is often the most effective way to work on projects.
8. Avoid meetings. Not all meetings are a waste of time, but many are. If you spend a lot of time in meetings, but would rather be doing your actual work instead of listening to other people talk about things they could have sent you in an email, see if you can get out of some of those meetings. You’ll get a lot more done. Read more.
9. Avoid long conversations at work. We’ve all had long conversations with co-workers that were very unproductive — often not related to work or anything important. Sometimes they’re long phone conversations. And while I like conversing with other human beings as much as the next guy — it’s important to maintain good relationships and friendships — at the same time you could be spending that time doing other things. I personally would rather get all my work done and go home and spend time with my family. So I try to stay focused on work rather than having lots of long conversations, although I’ll make an exception now and then.
10. Learn to say no. This is crucial if you want to have a simplified schedule. We all receive numerous requests each day, and all of them are demands on our time. If we say “yes” to those requests, we are giving up our time and committing to doing something for someone else. But if those requests aren’t in line with our priorities, then we are usually biting off more than we want to chew. So learn to say “no” instead. Often this is uncomfortable, because we fear it means disappointing others. But learn to tell people that you just don’t have the time to commit to this right now, and often they’ll understand.
Time-saving Computer Tips
1. Disconnect when possible. This is my favorite computer tip. When I really want to focus on a task, and really get it done, I will disconnect from the Internet. Sometimes this means just closing my browser, other times it will mean disconnecting from my wireless network, and still other times I unplug the cord. However you do it, disconnecting from the Internet is a great way to get things done. Of course, you’ll eventually want to re-connect, but having blocks of time when you’re disconnected can be extremely productive.
2. Quicksilver or AutoHotkey. Quicksilver for Mac users, Autohotkey for PCs. I’ve used both an find them to be indispensable tools for getting things done efficiently. For example, we all have documents, programs, folders and websites we go to frequently — set up a hotkey to open them with a keystroke. It takes a little learning to figure out how to set these up (but you can Google tutorials), and to set up each hotkey might take a couple minutes. But once they’re set up, you’re lightning fast. You can go beyond these hotkeys for more powerful combinations, such as a hotkey to email something or resize a photo or do a thousand other things — I have probably a dozen or so I use regularly that save me hours when you add them all up over the course of a month.
3. Keyboard shortcuts for email. Similarly, your email program almost certainly has keyboard shortcuts, and if you’re not using them you should learn them. By using shortcuts for opening, sending, filing, searching and navigating through emails, you can work through a batch of emails in no time. And if you add shortcuts (via Quicksilver or AutoHotkey) for commonly used text or signatures, you can zip through your replies faster than I can go through a batch of Oreos.
4. Email filters. Let your email program do your work for you. I use Gmail filters, but programs such as Outlook or Mail.app, or what have you, all have similar filtering features. Learn to use them and set up filters for your most common emails. This will usually happen over time as you notice that you’re getting a lot of a certain type of email. For example, I get certain stats and financial reports relating to my work that I have labeled and filed by a filter, so that they never see the light of my inbox. Then I can always go and look in that label (or folder) to read those reports if I need to, but don’t need to read them when I go through my inbox. I also use filters to automatically delete emails from people who send me chain and joke emails (harsh, I know, but I get tired of those), and to file notifications from services like Facebook, Twitter, Paypal and other services.
5. Limit IM, Twitter, forums, other social stuff. You can spend all day chatting with others, or Twittering or going on online forums or social media. And while all of these tools have good uses, they can take up too much of your time if you let them. Set limits for yourself — say one hour a day to do all of these things, at a certain block of time in your schedule. You’ll have lots more time for the important tasks.
6. Stop worrying about filing. I’ve written about this before, of course, but I don’t really believe in filing anymore. Everything I do is digital these days, both online and on my computer’s hard drive. And I learned from Gmail that you can just archive something and search for it later without any problems (I’ve been doing this for two years with no problems finding things at all). So I do this with everything: files on my hard drive, documents in Google Docs and Spreadsheets, other types of online files. And my filing time has been reduced to almost zero — while I used to spend lots of time filing each day.
Tips for Home
1. Keep things clutter-free. I’m a big fan of clutter-free homes and workspaces, not only for their nicer aesthetics but because 1) it helps you to focus on what you’re doing instead of being distracted by visual clutter; 2) it’s more serene and relaxing; and 3) it saves time. How does it save time? It makes things easier to find, easier to clean, easier to navigate, and reduces wasted time reshuffling, sorting, looking through, and clearing away piles of clutter. Read more.
2. Keep things in their place. Similarly, having a “home” for everything saves time. You can have an uncluttered home but not know where anything belongs … instead, have a place for everything, and put things back in that place when you’re not using them. Make this a key habit in your life — when you’re done with something, put it back where it belongs. It takes a few seconds to do that, and saves time cleaning up later, looking for things (how many times have you lost something and searched long and hard for it?), and generally keeps things neater and uncluttered.
3. Teach kids to clean up after themselves. If you’re a parent, you know that keeping an uncluttered household isn’t easy when you have little rugrats running around making a mess every minute of the live-long day. Start your kids, from an early age, with the habit of cleaning up after themselves when they’re done playing. So let’s say they take out a bucket of building blocks and make a huge mess — that’s OK, but when they’re done, help them to pick everything up, put them in the bucket, and put the bucket back in its “home”. My younger kids like to sing a “Clean up, clean up, everybody everywhere” song as they clean. Make it a game! With six kids, this has saved us countless hours of cleaning up after our kids.
4. Prep the night before. Whether you’re single or have a household full of kids, mornings might be a rush for you. Instead, create an evening routine where you get everything ready the night before, so you can start your day off right. This might not technically save time, but it gives you more time in the morning to focus on getting important things done rather than rushing through your routine.
5. Don’t watch too much TV. I personally have wasted entire days watching TV, so I know what a big time-hole television can be. Instead, limit your TV viewing time — maybe an hour a day? — and use the time you otherwise would have been watching TV on more important things — spending time with your loved ones, exercising, writing that novel you’ve been dreaming about.
6. Plan your weekly menu. If you plan out what you’re going to have for dinner (and even lunch) each day of the week, you can save a lot of time. First, you can go grocery shopping and get everything you need all at once — in fact, if you repeat the weekly menu the next week, you can do two weeks of shopping in one trip. Second, you can prepare food ahead of time (see next item), and pack your lunch easily for work. Third, you don’t have to worry about what’s for dinner each evening — it’s right there on the menu you posted on the fridge.
7. Cook big batches. I like to make large batches of food, which is especially helpful when you have a big family. I’ll cook up a big batch of chili, veggie soup, spaghetti, or other dish, and eat the leftovers for lunch or dinner (sometimes it can be several lunches and dinners).
8. Do all your errands at once. This is the same as the “batching” tip from the work section above (as is the previous tip, and the next tip). Write your errands on an errands list throughout the week, and do them all on one day. Plan your route so you do the least amount of driving possible, and get it all done quickly. Compared to running multiple errand trips, this method saves a lot of time.
9. Do your banking online, all at once. I like to do this once every week or even two weeks … I have all my bills ready to pay (actually, most of them are set up to be paid automatically by my bank’s bill-pay system), I reconcile my online bank statement, pay the bills, check my automatic savings transfers and so on.
10. Clean in one big rush. While I like to keep things clean by cleaning as I go, there’s also the sweeping and mopping and cleaning the bathrooms and things like that … and it’s a big time-saver to do it all in one big rush. My whole family will take different parts of the house, and we’ll do the cleaning all at once as fast as we can. We’re done in 30-45 minutes, and we can relax the rest of the day. Ahhh!
11. Get your workouts done in no time. If you don’t have a lot of time but want to stay (or get) in shape, try bodyweight exercises in circuits, but make the workout more intense by trying to do as many circuits as you can in a short amount of time. For example, do circuits of pullups, pushups, and bodyweight squats (5, 10, and 15 respectively) … and do as many as possible in 10 minutes (or 20 if you’re fit). Create your own circuits with different exercises, or look for similar challenges online to mix things up. Don’t do these intense exercises if you’re just starting out — just try to do a few circuits but not quickly if you’re still a beginner.
12. Keep a great big calendar. My family stays organized with a big calendar on our fridge (which I also manually sync with Gcal because I like Gcal). Everything goes on our calendar: parties, meetings, school events, soccer games, music lessons, birthdays, volunteering dates, and so on. This ensures that we don’t overschedule, that we’re all in sync with each other, and that we don’t miss appointments or events. And one big calendar saves time because we don’t have to keep checking with each other or looking at various schedules.
13. Get a babysitter or swap babysitting. If you are a parent and don’t have time to do things, hire a babysitter so you can find the time, or swap babysitting with another parent. My sister and I do this, for example — we’ll watch her kids some days and she’ll watch ours on others. It’s great because we have more time to do things, and our kids get to play together.
14. Consider hiring someone. Sometimes it makes more sense to hire someone to do something, especially if your time is worth more money than you’re paying that person. For example, if I have a large yard that would take me five hours to maintain (it’s pretty big), it makes more sense for me to pay someone as I can earn more during those 5 hours by working. Other things you might pay someone for: other home maintenance projects, washing your car, doing errands or laundry, doing your taxes … just about anything where doing it yourself isn’t cost-effective.
Bir Hikaye
ADALET
Yaşlı kadın yatağından kalktı. Sabah ezanının insan ruhuna huzur veren sesi oda içinde yankılanıyordu. 88 yaşından beklenmeyecek bir çeviklikle pencereye doğru yöneldi. Pencereyi açması ile birlikte odaya ezan sesi ile birlikte baharın güzel kokusu ve kuş cıvıltıları doluştu. Penceresinden gözüken Kurtuluş Parkına bakarak yaşlı ciğerlerine sabahın ılık esintisi ile doldurdu. Abdestini aldı, sabah namazını kıldı. Mutfağa yöneldi. Çayla birlikte bir iki lokma bir şeyler atıştırdı. Oturma odasına yöneldi. Eski bir fiskos masasının yanındaki koltuğuna ilişti. Masanın üstü çerçeveler ile doluydu. Bir tanesine uzandı, camının üzerinde titreyen parmaklarını dolaştırdı. Çerçevenin içindeki fotoğrafta İstiklal madalyalı kara yağız bir adamla, makyajsız olmasına rağmen güzelliği göz alan bir kadın birbirlerine bakarak gülümsüyorlardı. Yaşlı kadın 'Günaydın Anne, Günaydın Baba' dedi. Usulca yerine koyduğu çerçeveye bir bakış daha attıktan sonra başka bir çerçeveyi eline aldı. Bu siyah beyaz fotoğrafta da subay üniformalı bir adamla bir gelin yan yana duruyorlardı. Yaşlı kadın çerçeveyi titreyen dudaklarla öptü. 'Günaydın Kocacığım' dedi. Kadın bu çerçeveyi de bıraktıktan sonra üçüncü ve son çerçeveye uzandı. Artık gözlerinden yaş damlıyordu. Fotoğraftaki biri erkek diğeri kız çocuklara bakıp 'Günaydın Evlatlarım' dedi. Tüm çerçevelere kısaca göz atıp 'Sizleri, hepinizi çok özledim' dedi.
Gözlerinde biriken yaşları sildi. Artık ağlamak için bile yaşlı hissediyordu kendini. Ağır ağır doğrulduğu koltuğundan eski telefonuna doğru yöneldi. Ağır ağır numaraları çevirdi. Karşısına çıkan adama 'Bir taksi istiyorum' dedi ve adresi verdi. Kapısını kilitleyip, apartman merdivenlerine yöneldi. Yıllarca çekmediği zorluk kalmamıştı ama şimdi bu merdivenler hayatının en büyük engeli olmuştu. Ağır ve dikkatli bir biçimde iniyordu. Sabırsızlanan taksi şoförünün çaldığı korna sokağı inletiyordu. 'Patlama be adam' dedi. Nihayet taksiye binebildi. 'Teyze hoş geldin' dedi 25-30 yaşlarındaki şoför. 'Nereye gidiyoruz?' Kadın kısa bir sessizliğin sonunda 'Tüm bir gün beni taşırmısın?' diye sordu. 'Sana 500 lira veririm.' Adam küçümser bir gülümseme ile, 'Mal sahibi benden her gün 500 lira istiyor teyze' dedi.
Kadın gülümsedi
'O zaman sana 650 lira vereceğim ne dersin?'
'Kurtarmaz ama senin güzel hatırını kırmayayım. İlk önce nereye gideceğiz?'
'Anıtkabir'e'
'Anıtkabir'e mi?
'Evet'
'Tamam teyzeciğim'
'Yaş kaç teyzeciğim?'
'Seksen sekiz'
'Maşallah Allah uzun ömür versin teyzeciğim'
'Allah sağlıklı mutlu ömür versin oğlum'
'Haklısın teyzecim'
Taksi Anıtkabir'in kapısına gelmişti. Şoför 'Teyzeciğim geldik' dedi. Dalgın görünen kadın 'Evladım burada yardımına ihtiyacım var' dedi. 'Benimle gel' Adam şaşırmıştı. 'Tabii teyze' dedi. Kuşkulu gözlerle 'Bizi buraya alırlar mı?' diye sordu.
O ana kadar dalgın ve yorgun görünen kadın, bir anda irkildi. Gözlerinden ateş fışkırarak 'Ne demek almamak? Sen daha önce hiç gelmedin mi buraya?' dedi
'Hayır'
'Kaç yıldır Ankara'da yaşıyorsun?'
'Ben Ankaralıyım teyze. Doğma büyüme'
'Ee o zaman'
'Ne bileyim bir kez okulla gelmiştik bayramda. Bayram olmayınca burası kapalı sanıyordum ben'
Kadın sinirli bir şekilde kafa salladı.
Şoför utanmıştı. Mozoleye çıkan mermer merdivenlere kadar konuşmadılar. Merdivenlere geldiklerinde Şoför kuşkulu bir şekilde
'Nasıl çıkacaksın Teyze?' diye sordu.
'Her ay nasıl çıkıyorsam öyle'
'Her ay geliyormusun?'
'Evet'
Uzun bir uğraşla merdivenleri çıktılar. Mozoleye doğru ağır ağır ilerlediler. İçerisi çok serindi. Şoför büyük bir azimle yürümeye çalışan kadının koluna girmişti. Kadının nefes alışları sıklaşmıştı. Nihayet mozolenin önüne geldiler. Kadın şoförün kolundan ani bir hareketle kurtuldu. Çantasını açtı. Tek bir karanfil çıkardı. Mozoleye doğru ilerledi. Çiçeği mozoleye koydu. Şoför şaşkınlıkla olayı seyrederken kadının ağzından şu sözlerin döküldüğünü fark etti. 'Hayatım boyunca sana verdiğim sözü tutmak için çalıştım' Ağır ağır geriye çekilen kadın ellerini açıp Fatiha okumaya başladı. Şoför kısa bir şaşkınlığın ardından ona katıldı. Kadın bir anlık suskunluktan sonra 'Hadi gidelim' dedi.
Geldiklerinden çok daha ağır bir şekilde arabaya döndüler. Şoför kadının durumundan endişelenmeye başlamıştı. 'Yoruldun mu Teyze' dedi.
Kadın sustu. Bir süre suskunluktan sonra 'Evet hem de çok yoruldum' diye cevapladı.
'Nereye gidiyoruz?'
'Bankaya'
Şoför arabasındaki kadının herhangi biri olmadığını anlamıştı. Bu yaşlı kadının Atatürk'e verdiği söz ne olabilirdi? En sonunda dayanamadı.
'Teyzeciğim bir şey sorabilirmiyim?'
'Sor bakalım evladım'
'Anıtkabir'de Atatürk'e bir söz verdiğinizi söylemiştiniz. O söz nedir?'
'Uzun hikaye evladım'
'Olsun be teyze anlat ne olur'
'Ben lisedeyken bizim okulumuza gelmişti Atatürk. Beni de ona çiçek vermek için seçmişlerdi. Çiçeği verdiğimde bana ismimi sordu. Bende 'Adalet' dedim. Bunun üzerine 'Ne güzel ismin varmış' dedi. 'Okulu bitirince ne olacaksın' dedi bana. Hemşire dedim. Oda 'Güzel meslek ama bence sen Hakim ol ismine çok yakışır' dedi. Ben kadından hakim olmaz ki dedim. Kaşlarını çattı, 'Sen istedikten sonra olur. Senden söz istiyorum hakim olacaksın' dedi .'
'Sen ne dedin peki?'
'Mustafa Kemal emretmiş ne denir? Söz verdim.'
'Peki olabildin mi Adalet Teyze?'
'Evet ben Cumhuriyetin ilk kadın hakimlerindenim.'
'Vay be. Sende ne hikaye varmış Adalet Teyze'
'Herkesin bir hikayesi vardır evladım. Herkesin hikayesi de kendine göre değerlidir. Eğer insanların hikayelerini bilip anlayabilirsen insanlara daha anlayışlı davranabilirsin'
'Haklısın Adalet Teyze. Bu bankamı gelmek istediğin'
'Evet'
'Yardım edeyim mi? Bende geleyim mi?'
'Hayır. Sen burada bekle lütfen.Bu arada adın neydi evladım'
'Osman teyzeciğim'
'Tamam Osman. Beni 45 dakika kadar sonra buradan al olur mu?'
'Tamam teyzeciğim'
Adalet hanım bankadan içeri girdi. Osman öğlen saatinin geldiğini fark edip yemeğe gitti. Yemek boyunca Adalet hanımı düşündü. 'Kim bilir neler yaşamış, neler görmüştür' diye düşündü. Tam vaktinde bankanın önündeydi. Adalet hanım 15 dakikalık gecikme ile geldi.
'Hoş geldin Hakim Teyze'
'Çok uzun zamandır bana Hakim denmemişti.'
'Hoşuna gitmediyse söylemeyeyim?'
'Yok aksine hoşuma gitti. Sağol'
'Nereye gidiyoruz?'
'Seyranbağlarına'
'Tabii'
'Hakim Teyze çok yer gezmişsindir sen'
'Tüm Anadolu'yu karış karış gezdik rahmetli kocamla'
'Ne iş yapardı amca?'
'Subaydı.'
'Ne zaman vefat etti?'
'1952′de'
'Çok olmuş.Gençmiş'
'Kore savaşında şehit oldu.'
'Allah rahmet eylesin Hakim teyze'
' Sağol'
'Seyranbağları'na geldik nereye gideceğiz?'
'Sağa sap. İkinci binanın önünde dur.'
'Tamam.Buyur Hakim Teyze.Geleyim mi ben'
'Yok bekle burada'
Osman beklemeye başladı. Bir ara merak etti. Binanın uzaktan görünen levhasına baktı. 'Seyranbağları Kız Yetiştirme Yurdu' yazısını okudu. Anlam veremedi. 'Bu kadın burada ne yapar ki?' diye düşündü.
Yarım saat sonra Adalet hanım göründü. Yanında orta yaşlı kibar bir hanım vardı. Adalet hanımı arabaya ağır ağır bindirdi. Kadın 'Adalet Hanım size ne kadar teşekkür etsek azdır. Her zaman yanımızdasınız. Kızlarda sizi çok seviyor. Ne olur arayı çok uzatmayın. Yine gelin' dedi.
Adalet hanım, buğulu gözlerle 'İnşallah. Kızlara selamımı söyleyin. Bende onları çok seviyorum. Onlara iyi bakın' dedi.
Araba hareket etti.
'Nereye Hakim Teyze?'
'Hemen iki sokak öteye'
Osman iki sokak ötede bu sefer başka bir binanın önüne park etti. Bu binada da 'Ankara Seyranbağları Huzurevi' yazıyordu.
'Bekle beni'
'Tabii Hakim Teyze'
Yine 1 saate yakın bir bekleyişin sonunda bu sefer etrafında bir çok yaşlı kadın ve adamla çıkageldi Adalet Hanım. Sarılıp öpüştükten sonra oradan ayrıldılar. Osman dikiz aynasından Adalet Hanım'ın gözlerinden akan yaşları fark etti.
'İyi misin Hakim Teyze'
'İyiyim Osman. Eski dostları görünce insan bir hoş oluyor'
'Nereye gidiyoruz?'
'Cebeci Asri Mezarlığına'
'Tamam'
'Teyze nerelisin sen?'
'Aydın Sökeliyim. Babam orada pamuk ekerdi. Annem ev hanımıydı. Sonra Kurtuluş Savaşı oldu. Babam savaşa gitti. Söke işgal oldu. Biz dağlara kaçtık annemle. Saklandık dağ köylerinde. Savaş bitince Söke'ye döndük. Allah'a Şükür Babam'da sağ salim döndü savaştan.'
'Sonra ne oldu?'
'Liseye Aydın'a gönderdi babam. Orada Atatürk'le karşılaştım. Sözümü tutmak için İstanbul'a gittim. Hukuk fakültesine girdim. Orada rahmetli eşimle karşılaştım. O Harbiye'de okuyordu o zaman. Mezun olunca evlendik..'
'Çocuğunuz var mı?'
'Bir kızım bir oğlum vardı.'
'Neredeler şimdi?'
'Oğlum dışişlerinde çalışıyordu.'
'Ne güzel'
'1978′de Fransa'da Ermeniler öldürdüler.'
'Üzüldüm Hakim Teyze. Başın sağ olsun. O da babası gibi şehit oldu yani'
'Evet. Şehit babanın şehit oğlu. Allah kimseye evlat acısı vermesin.'
'Amin. Ya kızın?'
'O eşi ve çocukları ile İzmit'te yaşıyordu. Öğretmendi. 1999′da depremde hepsi vefat ettiler.'
'Allah rahmet eylesin.Boş boğazlığımla üzdüm seni Hakim Teyze kusura bakma'
'Sanki sormasan aklımdan çıkıyorlar mı evladım.Sen üzülme sağol'
'Geldik Teyze'
'Tamam evladım. Al işte paran artık gidebilirsin.'
'Hakim teyze buradan nasıl döneceksin? Ben seni bekleyeyim eve bırakayım.'
'Yok beni alacaklar buradan'
'Hakim Teyze bu para fazla. Kusura bakma ben sana yalan söyledim. Taksinin sahibi benden 350 lira bekliyor. Affet beni. 350 'yi ona veririm. Gerisi kalsın. Bende para istemem. Bugün senden aldığım hayat dersinin parasal karşılığı yok zaten.'
'Çocukların var mı?'
'İki tane ellerinden öperler.' Taksinin güneşliğinden çocuklarının resimlerini çıkarıp gösterdi.
'Adları nedir?'
'Kemal ve Ayşe'
'Oğlumun adı da Kemaldi.'
Sessizliğin ardından Osman'ın elindeki parayı ittirdi Adalet Hanım..
'Onlara bir şeyler al benim için. Onları okut. Ama yalansız, dolansız, çok çalışarak helal lokma ile büyüt ve okut. Atatürk'ün bana yaptığı gibi içlerindeki gücü fark etmelerini sağla. Bir de vatanını, milletini sevmelerini öğütle onlara.'
Osman Adalet Hanımın ellerine sarılıp öptü. Ona iyi evlatlar yetiştireceğine söz verdi. Adalet hanım mezarlığın kapısından ağır ağır içeri girerken; Osman yaşlı gözlerle onu izliyordu. Hayatının en büyük dersini kendisi küçücük, yüreği yaşadığı acılara rağmen kocaman ve güçlü bu yaşlı kadından almıştı. Osman arabasını mal sahibine götürmeye karar verdi. Bu gün daha fazla çalışamazdı.
Ertesi gün Ankara'da garip bir yağmur yağıyordu. Sanki gök delinmişti. Osman taksiyi mal sahibinden almış, durağa gelmişti. Çay ocağının yanında duran gazeteyi aldı. İlk sayfadaki haberlere göz gezdirdi. Siyaset doluydu gazete. Hiç anlamazdı. Sıkılıp adli olayların yer aldığı üçüncü sayfayı açtı. Taksiciler arkadaşları ile ilgili kötü haberleri genellikle oradan alırlardı. Göz gezdirirken bir haber dikkatini çekti.
'Dün gece geç saatlerde Cebeci Asri mezarlığında bulunan cesedin Cumhuriyet tarihinin ilk Kadın Hakimlerinden Adalet YILMAZ'a ait olduğu belirlendi. Adalet YILMAZ'ın bulunduğu yerdeki mezarların eşine ve oğluna ait olduğu belirlendi. YILMAZ vefat ettiği gün bankadaki tüm parasını çektiği, bu parayı ikiye bölerek Seyranbağları'ndaki bir kız yetiştirme yurdu ile bir huzurevine bağışladığı belirlendi. Polis, Adalet YILMAZ'ın mezarlığa ölmek için gittiğini düşünüyor.'
Osman bir anda sarsıldı. Gözyaşlarına engel olamıyordu. Taksici arkadaşları hiçbir şey anlamadılar. Bir daha da hiç anlatmadı Osman bu yaşadıklarını. Herkesin tek bildiği Osman'ın bardaktan boşanırcasına yağan yağmur altında 'Gökler bile sana ağlıyor' diyerek ağladığı…

How to Tell a Joke
Many people shy away from telling jokes because they once told one that fell flat or they are afraid of appearing silly or of offending someone. Jokes are canned humorous stories which are subtly different from personal anecdotes. With personal anecdotes you have the authority to tell them because they happened to you. Jokes are independent and in a sense artificial so you take a little risk when you launch into one. However, when told well, a joke can cause great amusement and lift the mood of the gathering. A speaker who puts some relevant and well-told jokes into his or her speech will be appreciated by the audience who are often bored with bland presentations and are crying out for a little entertainment.
Here are some tips on how to tell a good joke:
1. Select. Choose three or four jokes that really tickled you from the internet or a joke book. If you are giving a talk or presentation look for ones that have some relevance (however slight) so that you can work them into the pitch. Have one or two generic or topical ones that you can use on any occasion.
2. Practise. Practise them aloud - in front of a mirror if possible. Deliver them with style, confidence and panache. Focus on the punch line and ensure that you can deliver it word perfect.
3. Choose your moment. If there is a convenient hook in the conversation for one of your jokes you can introduce it then. Otherwise wait for a pause. Sometimes the most amusing jokes occur when people least expect the teller to tell a joke. So, if appropriate, be serious as you introduce the story and then catch your audience out with the punch line.
4. Deliver slowly and with confidence. Many people ruin jokes by rushing them, mumbling incoherently or just getting the words wrong. Your practice should have overcome this but there is still a temptation to hurry. Slow down a little. Try to pause for effect before you deliver the punch line. That can add enormously to the impact.
5. Match the joke to the audience. A joke which is hilarious with the guys on the 7th tee might well be a disaster at the Church Bazaar. Jokes often challenge taboos so it is OK to risk a tiny amount of offence to one or two people. But if your joke seriously offends people then you were guilty of misjudgment. In mixed company during the day you should stay with safe material. In the evening you can be a little more risqué and with the men in the bar you can be outrageous. Choose wisely.
6. Reciprocate. Never finish anyone else’s joke. Always laugh or smile even if you have heard it before. Be a good joke teller and receiver.
7. Develop. As you build experience and confidence try more and different jokes. But don’t overdo it. Don’t hog the conversation with one joke after another. A few really good jokes that you can tell with perfect confidence is the aim.
Finally have some one-liners to throw in from time to time. Here are a couple to get you going:
Velcro - what a rip-off!
‘Shut up!’ my father explained.
Funny jokes make the world a more interesting place. Enjoy your joke telling!

Bilgi - Ilk mikroislemci
Dünyanın ilk mikroişlemcisi : Intel 4004 yıl 1971, 4 bitlik
In November, 1971, a company called Intel publicly introduced the world's first single chip microprocessor, the Intel 4004 (U.S. Patent #3,821,715), invented by Intel engineers Federico Faggin, Ted Hoff, and Stan Mazor. After the invention of integrated circuits revolutionized computer design, the only place to go was down -- in size that is. The Intel 4004 chip took the integrated circuit down one step further by placing all the parts that made a computer think (i.e. central processing unit, memory, input and output controls) on one small chip. Programming intelligence into inanimate objects had now become possible.

Why Constant Worry is Useless
We live in a culture where everyone seems to worry. Turn on the news – someone got shot, there’s mercury in the fish we eat, the cows have got BSE, a new super-flu is coming, terrorists are regrouping... on and on it goes.
If you take all of this stuff seriously, it’s likely that you’ll never go out, never eat, never travel, or never take any kind of risk at all. But in fact, worry makes no sense at all.
Here are some reasons why worry really is a pointless and damaging activity, though I suspect we all know this deep down.
Things never happen the way you imagine. When you worry, you are predicting the future. You are saying ‘I know that things will turn out badly.’ But this just isn’t the case. You have no idea how the future is going to turn out, except to say that it will not be what you think it will be. So why worry?
Worry means you give away your power.
Some people are so entrenched in worry that they cannot see any other way to live. But worry robs you of your power to be proactive. The truth is that you are in control and you can choose how to react to situations, so why choose to give that power away so easily and so unconsciously?
Worrying is completely unproductive.
Why waste your energy doing something that gets you nowhere. On a treadmill, at least you get some exercise, but worry is a truly pointless activity. Spend your time and energy on something more useful.
Worry distorts reality.
We live in an age where people live longer, have better access to health care, have more opportunity for personal and professional growth, more chance to travel, greater access to information and lifelong education, and many other wonderful things. Yes, there are risks and potential dangers, but worry magnifies these disproportionately and blinds us to the wonders of our age.
Worrying is bad for your health.
Worry is not a normal state of mind and it adversely affects your health, even your physical health. When you worry, physical changes are happening in your body which are very damaging. It increases stress which can increase blood pressure, cause higher levels of stomach acid, cause muscle tension and headaches, among many other things.
Worry is not natural.
Do little children worry? Do animals worry? Do all adults worry? There is nothing inherent in being human that means you have to worry. Worry is a pathology, a distortion of our natural, healthy state.
Do you know the most frequent instruction given in the Bible? Surprisingly, it is not ‘love one another’ or ‘love God’ or anything like that. It is simple ‘do not be afraid.’ I don’t know how many times it appears, but I’ve seen estimates between 100 and 366 times. You don’t have to be religious to realize that this is good advice.
So how can we break out of this worry habit? Like all habits, it might not be easy to do, but there are some clear, simple and effective steps you can take to eliminate worry from your life.
Realize that you are in control.
In The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Steven Covey tells us that the first step to a better life is the realization that we are free to choose how to react to circumstances. Worry is a choice – it’s inside our own head and, as such, it is within the sphere of our own influence.
Recognize that worry is a habit.
Like all habits, there is a momentum to worry, and it might not be easy to break away from this, especially if you’ve been a worrier all your life. But it’s possible to change any habit.
Keep things in perspective.
E. Joseph Crossman said, ‘If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago today.’ Are you still worrying about those things? Will all this stuff matter in 100 years from now?
Face your fears.
Nelson DeMille said that ‘Somehow our devils are never quite what we expect when we meet them face to face.’ After you do something that scares you, you’ll probably find it wasn’t as bad as you thought. With time, all your worry will dissipate.
Stop trying to be in control of everything.
You cannot control the whole world. Things happen that are truly outside our circle of influence, and so we need to relax and accept that sometimes things just happen as they will. This is part of life, and worry will not change it one little bit.
Stop taking yourself so seriously.
If you fail, so what? If you screw up, is it the end of the world? Are you really so important that the world will stop turning if you get things wrong? Life is not that serious.
Worry is a dangerous and poisonous thing. You must not let it eat away at you.

5 Easy Ways to Shake Off a Bad Mood
By Steve Errey
Everyone gets into a big ol’ bad mood sometimes. I’m talking about the kind of mood that throws a spanner in the works, has you fuming at every little thing and threatens to ruin a perfectly good day.
Sometimes these moods happen just when you don’t want them to and they can get in the way of doing what you want to do in the way that you want to do it. Here’s how to shake them off quickly so that you can get back your life.
1. Leave the room
Get a change of scene. Right now. Bad moods can be triggered by all kinds of things and often it’s something around you that ticked you off, and if you stay in the same environment it’ll continue to nag at you and play on your mind. Go to a new environment, surround yourself with different things, different people and different sensations and it’s easier for you to leave your bad mood behind you.
2. Give yourself a treat
When you’re in a bad mood it’s easy to look for things to fuel that bad mood or reinforce it. Why? Because you want to feel like your bad mood is valid, so you look for things to validate it and make it right.
Break that habit by doing the opposite, no matter how strange it might feel. Watch a funny movie, play your favourite song, go for a walk in your local park, grab a coffee and a slice of pie in that great coffee shop. Do something that feels good and puts a smile on your face, and your bad mood will be history.
3. Have a BMW
When I’m in a coaching session with someone it’s pretty obvious if they’re in a bad mood. When that happens I say to them, “Right. You have 4 minutes to Bitch, Moan and Whine all you want. When the 4 minutes is up there’s no more moaning, deal?”. Then they let rip for 4 minutes.
Taking just a couple of minutes for a BMW (as I like to call it) can get everything right out there, everything that’s bubbling away. The key is not to pause or think - a BMW session is just getting it all out there. Often you’ll find that you run out of steam before the 4 minutes is up and sometimes you’ll just end up laughing. Either way, when you’re done you’ll feel lighter.
4. Hit the gym
PPhysical exercise has a direct influence on our mood, and countless studies have shown that exercise releases endorphins and serotonin (the body’s pleasure chemicals) that positively affect your mood. Hitting the gym not only releases those feel-good chemicals, but it’s a great distraction, diverting your attention away from your bad mood and giving you something to do that occupies your body and mind.
5. Let yourself off the hook
Fact of Life # 37 - Bad moods happen. Sometimes, it’s just fine to let the bad mood ride. If things are niggling you and bad moods are a familiar deal to you, then it’s a good bet that something’s not quite right somewhere in your life. Letting the bad mood ride allows you to go to those dark places where you wouldn’t normally go and see what’s there.
You don’t have to wallow in it, but letting it happen can be surprisingly liberating. Your bad moods are just as valid as your good moods and when you come out the other side you might just have learned something about what’s really going on.

- Don’t rely on old ways of searching. Become aware that approximately 99% of content on the Internet doesn’t show up on typical search engines, so think about other ways of searching.
- Search for databases. Using any search engine, enter your keyword alongside "database" to find any searchable databases (for example, "running database" or "woodworking database").
- Get a library card. Many public libraries offer access to research databases for users with an active library card.
- Stay informed. Reading blogs or other updated guides about Internet searches on a regular basis will ensure you are staying updated with the latest information on Internet searches.
- Search government databases. There are many government databases available that have plenty of information you may be seeking.
- Bookmark your databases. Once you find helpful databases, don’t forget to bookmark them so you can always come back to them again.
- Practice. Just like with other types of research, the more you practice searching the deep web, the better you will become at it.
- Don’t give up. Researchers agree that most of the information hidden in the deep web is some of the best quality information available.
