Respect your email inbox

Email is an efficient communication tool. But managing the email inbox be challenging at times. Followings are the lists of four email management tips to help you reduce inbox congestion and frustration:
A. Take immediate action when you receive an email. Whenever you open an email, resolve to take one of the following four actions:
1. Delete/Archive: If the email requires no action, then either delete it or archive it
2. Reply: If you can quickly respond to the email, do it so you can delete or archive the
email.
3. Forward: If there's a more appropriate person to respond to the email, forward it on to
them.
b) If you're returning to your inbox after a few days away, try sorting your inbox by sender to identify chains of emails from the same people and to respond to the most current email in each chain.
C) . Respect other people's inboxes.
●Don't CC people unnecessarily.
●Don’t reply to all if the reply is only relevant to one or two of the people on the email.
●Make it easy for recipients to act on your emails by using subject lines that are descriptive and specific like "FYI:," "Reminder:", "Urgent:" and "Action Needed:" to help recipients quickly understand if action is needed and if so, how quickly.
●If you know that a coworker is out of town, don't send them email. Instead, save those emails as drafts and set a reminder to send them once the person returns.

What is Six sigma and SWOT Analysis


Intentionally or unintentionally we heard about sigma. When we read in any journals or newspaper about six sigma , we always think about sigma. If you were not a science student, then this word is always unknown to you. Let me explain – Sigma is actually used to denote the standard deviation in statistics or mathematical calculation. Sigma is actually a greek word. More sigmas means more precision. In short, Sigma is a statistical measure of the quality consistency for a particular process / product.Six sigma was initially implemented by motorola company in their television picture tube manufacturing company and Motorola really set a benchmark for other and now many companies following the path shown by Motorola.For an ordinary man, a company have more sigmas level means more quality product. So, six sigma approach is to get more and more specified and précised product by applying latest technology and taking the best results from the available resources.In six sigma level company only 3.4 PPM ( Parts Per Million) defects is allowed.
SWOT is the abbreviation for Strength – Weakness – Opportunities – Threats. SWOT analysis gives you the ground level reality to any company that what are the strengths of the company , what are the weakness in which they can improve and The possible opportunities in which they can entered and threats are the possible dangerous which can be avoided before to face a serious situation. SWOT analysis is not only applicable to firms/enterprises but it can also be used in an individual level. Every individual can have some Strengths- weaknesses-Threats-opportunities and by making a SWOT chart, anyone can check the exact position of his/her own.So, before plunge into a new venture or before starting a career , do your SWOT analysis and then decide you fate. For those who are already planned their career, they can also do the SWOT and then decide that they are in the right boat or not.Success comes only after when you know about your born qualities. Match with them in your current career and don’t do hesitation to step out if you feel you are in a wrong boat.

Know your IA's- Inborn Assets- Dare to do day dreaming.....

IA’s are the inborn assets of an individual. Everybody is blessed with some qualities by the grace of the god. Every individual have some IA’s.. IA’s is the acronym of Inborn assets. We often see in any child , there are some qualities which we praise in his childhood. But the question is- How many people utilize their IA’s in their career. I know one person who is very good in literature but his parents forced him to join engineering and today he is an engineer but not satisfied with this current assignment whenever he got the chance of playing with the words, he never missed the opportunities. He is today a very famous columnist in a leading newspaper along with his job in a company. My means to illustrate the example is – don’t suppress your IA’s , explore them. I also believe that an individual has some circumstances where he was not able to utilize their assets but atleast, he has to try to not killed them entirely. Whatever you are doing , doesn’t matter, and if it is as per your interest and accord, you are really blessed but if you are not doing as per your accord but you have to do it for many reason, don’t worry, try to put you legs into your favorite area. Whenever you have got a chance and possibility to show case your talent , do it and explore your wings. Nobody knows when your luck can take a sheer veer. These inborn assets are very helpful to anybody to cherish their life. Know your assets and make your life more easier and enjoy life in every way. Take the best from the life and be assure, life is ready to give you the best. This is an old saying that if you decide to achieve something and you are determined to do it, whole the nature make a conspiracy against you to fulfill your requirements. This is how, most of the great people succeeded in their life. The only thing they have done in their life is – they did take the risk in every step and nature and God always helped them in every small step. So, go ahead and there are many milestones are waiting for you here and there.

Thanks for reading , I will be back………………………….Till then , enjoy this beautiful itinerary of life...........

What is "Brainstorming" All About?

Brainstorming is an excellent technique of developing many creative solutions to a complex problem. It works by focusing on a problem, and then coming up with very many radical solutions to it. Ideas should deliberately be pragmatic or non-pragmatic , and should be developed as fast as possible. Brainstorming is a lateral thinking process - it is designed to help you break out of your thinking patterns into new ways of looking at things.

It can be defined as “ A brain storming activity that is well executed should result in some very unusual ideas that is the underlying purpose for resolving the given problem.”Some points must remember during the brainstorming session - • During brainstorming sessions there should be no criticism of ideas - you are trying to open possibilities and break down wrong assumptions about the limits of the problem. Judgment and analysis at this stage will stunt idea generation.

• Ideas should only be evaluated once the brainstorming session has finished - you can then explore solutions further using conventional approaches.

• Define the problem you want solved clearly, and lay out any criteria to be met. • Keep the session focused on the problem and try to avoid the biased ness.

• Ensure that no-one criticizes or evaluates ideas during the session. Criticism introduces an element of risk for group members when putting forward an idea. This stifles creativity and cripples the free running nature of a good brainstorming session.

• Encourage an enthusiastic, uncritical attitude among members of the group. Try to get everyone to contribute and develop ideas, including the quietest members of the group and don’t ignore the suggestion of any member whether he is technical or non-technical.

• Let people have fun brainstorming. Encourage them to come up with as many ideas as possible, from solidly practical ones to wildly impractical ones. Welcome creativity.

• Ensure that no train of thought is followed for too long • Encourage people to develop other people's ideas, or to use other ideas to create new ones

• Appoint one person to note down ideas that come out of the session. A good way of doing this is to use a flip chart. This should be studied and evaluated after the session. Brainstorming can give you some radical solution to any complex problem and it is very effective technique , management is using to take the best use of it to extract the best from the possible or available resources.

Golden Rules for career planning .......

1. Learning must be continous
Life-long learning is your keyword.
2. ALL (Ask, Listen And Learn)
A good listener can learn a lot. Listen to your co-workers, your boss, and your superiors. You can learn a lot from their experience. Most people will love to be your free tutor.
3. Do your best with your Current Job
Your current job might be best place to start your career. It is often very little that separates successful people from the average. But nothing comes free. If you do your job well and fulfill your responsibilities, this is often the best way to start a new career.
4. Start developing your Network
Your next career step might arise from your contact network. Spend some time building new contacts, and don't forget to maintain the ones you already have.
5. Identififaction of Current Job
Your current job should be identified, not assumed. When you start in a new job, talk to your superior about your priorities. If you're not sure about what is most important, then ask him. And ask him again. Often you will be surprised about the differences between what you assume, and what is really important.
6. Keep targetting for Next Job
Your dream job must be identified.Before you start planning your future career, be sure you have identified your dream job. Before building your future career your goal must be identified.
7. Armed Yourself
Your dream might show up tomorrow. Be prepared. Don't wait a second. Update your CV now, and continue to update it regularly.
8. Pick The Right Tools & add new skills
Pick the tools you can handle. You can build your future career using a lot of different tools. Studying at W3Schools is easy. Taking a full master degree is more complicated.
9. Realize Your Dreams
Put your dreams into action. If you have plans about taking more education, getting a better job, starting your own company or something else, you should not use your daily job as a "waiting station". Your daily job will get more and more busy, you will be caught up in the rat race, and you will burn up your energy.
If you have this energy, you should use it now, to realize your dreams.
Practice these rules and see the changes in your life.........
