If you don't have time to do something right what makes you think you have time to do it twice?
Respect other people's time. When dealing with a busy person in a professional context;
That's a good one! I would also add: When asked a question, determine whether this question can be properly answered in one word. If possible do it!
This is particularly directed at my wife π
Excellent, I'm going to add to this, even if the the answer justifies/requires an explanation put the answer first ie "Yes, long explanation" is vastly superior to "Long explanation, so yes"
Not a fan of this. Feels like a result of over-optimization in a capitalistic, profti-driven society.
We are humans. Not machines. So treat each other like that. If you like to write a couple of more words to express yourself or some issue in a way that feels representing, go for it. Doesn't mean to escalate this into a novel, but it's fine to take a pause and talk more.
I think we mostly agree.
For context I'm a doctor who is constantly pushing back against profit driven motives.
Being time constrained is an effect of capitalism but that doesn't mean that there isn't real work to be done.
People can and should take time out to express their personalities, hopes and frustrations and bond and be together in the workplace. That said, personal communication in the workplace and professional communication are different beasts.
Not thinking about what you're trying to say or what information you need leads to rambling tirades in person and paragraphs that could've been sentences in emails, this is not being a machine, it is wasting my time and the time of my patients(whose rambling tirades it is my pleasure to listen toπ)
