Merry Christmas, Today is a day to spend with family. Get some eggnog or cider and watch a nice Christmas movie or play a game. Having ‘down time’ over the holidays is important for resting your brain. If you have any ideas today don’t act on them just write them down. You can review them next week. As we approach new years start thinking about what you accomplished this year and what you would like to accomplish next year.

To be most successful you must learn how to be a ’servant’; being both helpful and beneficial to reaching their goals. You are not a doormat to those in management but an excellent developer will be passionate about the project and it’s success. To this end always try to help management ’see the light’ without ever making a nuisance of yourself.

When you take time to think there will be fewer mistakes and the project will be done much quicker. Check out this article on thinking vs reacting from Rands: Take Time to Think
