11 Oct 09 Daily Time Management Tips – 10

If you are in the position of leadership then a working knowledge of time management becomes very important for you. Do not expect your employees to step ahead and shoulder the responsibility. They simple will not. It is on you to make them work, and for that you will need a proper plan. In this part of Daily Time Management Tips series, I will address that issue.

Make a weekly work chart

Devote an hour or two on every Saturday to prepare the work chart for the coming week. This will save many work hours of your team that comes to office on Monday and could not find any to do. A weekly work chart will also tell the employee what is expected of them on each day of week. If you have your work chart in place then your employees cannot say that they did not know about the project. An hour or two on Saturday will save you tens to hundreds of work hour for your company (depending upon the size of your team).

Reward and appreciation

A simple pat on the back goes a long way. Praise the employee who finishes its work on time. You can also run a weekly “employees with the best time management skills” contest. This will motivate employees to finish their works on time. Give some tangible reward as well. A pat and a prize works wonder in keeping the team on target and on time.

Upgrade your office

Do you know how much money does working with old equipments and software is costing you and your company? If you think you do not pay the price then let me break the bad news: you pay through your noses, if your employees have systems from their grandfather’s time. An investment of some thousand dollars can save at least ten of thousands of dollars in employee productivity every month.

17 May 09 How to Install a Refrigerator

Refrigerator and installation? Don’t we just plug it into the socket and it gets going? If this is how you think refrigerators are made operational then this title might have sounded intriguing. Let’s break the bad news, contrary to the popular belief this is not the right way to start using your refrigerator. It requires proper installation before you can use it to its maximum capacity without damaging the machine. In order to install your refrigerator, you need to pass through the following three steps: location setup, transportation, and Installation. Let’s discuss each one of them individually.

Location setup: As we all know a household refrigerator is conceived and designed to be used indoor, so keep it away from direct sun light. Another thing that you need to care about while installing is the proximity of the heat source to the refrigerator. Do not install it near an oven, a dishwasher, a stove, a radiator or any other kind of heat source. The ideal temperature range in which the refrigerator will work effectively and efficiently lies between 55° F (13° C) and 110° F (43° C). Installing a refrigerator in the room that has temperature higher than 110° F (43° C) will damage the machine. Also, give enough breathing space (at least ½”) at the back and at the top of the refrigerator for the air to circulate freely.

Transportation: Moving a refrigerator is slightly tricky. Always move the refrigerator upright, and if it is a problem then consider laying it on its back while transporting. Never move a refrigerator on its side. Once the refrigerator is brought to the desired location, allow at least 30 minutes for the refrigerator to sit upright before switching it on to avoid any internal damage to the machine.

Installation: A proper leveling is an important part of the installation process. If the refrigerator is properly leveled then the refrigerator door would shut by itself, if opened to a 45-degree angle. Set the level at the top and move the refrigerator in its place. If the refrigerator is not properly leveled, remove the front grill from refrigerator’s feet, and use the adjustment screw to either push the front legs of the refrigerator up or down, depending upon the requirement. Leveling screws could be found in the front corners of the leveling feet. If you got a refrigerator with water and ice dispenser facility then connect the supply line to the back of the fridge. Now, run the refrigerator empty for at least 4 hours, before stuffing it with food items and leftovers.
