Why would I object to everyone writing a daily job?

Busy for a while, today only a little time to write something, today looked at the project team's log suddenly thought of the daily changes to the weekly.

Now whether it's a bat or a small startup Internet company, and a variety of positions (except the CEO and other leaders) every day to write a work log to report up today's completed tasks, no such a daily as it does not seem to know whether you are playing or playing ...

Does it feel like a stakeout? Sometimes I have to find some words to go to the inside of the heap?

Why write a work log?

There are three functions:

1, help self-management to improve : it can help oneself reflect on the work of a day, develop good work habits, through the text way to rational view of their work style and skills, to find their weak point, and make up for strengthening. So it can be said that only a good job log to have a purpose and continuously improve their ability;

2, to help the team to communicate and collaborate : The work of the day log to carry each person's daily job information, the team is the most efficient and convenient communication tools. Through the exchange of text, the superior can make clear the progress of the affairs they are dealing with, understand their difficulties, so as to facilitate the superiors to guide and coordinate their work.

3, to help managers manage : Team members daily work report, keep the status of work and progress records, can be in need of inquiry and investigation, convenient for managers to identify problems, analyze problems and solve problems.

Quite a lot of companies will ask staff to write the work diary, and some even catch very strict, and rewards and punishments hang on the hook. Although the work log as a means of management, the original intention is very good, think is also very ideal, but quite a lot of time, write a log for employees, especially too troublesome, or a few sentences, perfunctory, or copy paste, the same, or simply write the writing will not write.

Why is the workday so "annoying"? All the reasons are no more than three points:

Do

not know why write , think every day do those things, there is nothing worth writing about;

do not know for whom to write , think this is written to the leadership to see, the leadership to facilitate the monitoring of staff work progress;

do not know how to write , disorderly remember a pass without a discipline, to work really does not have a big effect.

Take a look at some people's logs:

Running water-type work, no real content, work tired day not to say the next work also have to around the head to think about all the details of today, although the original intention is good, but particularly wasted energy, the above people also waste energy to check every day.

The larger the size of the company may need this form to embody management, but for small companies, this daily situation may be more chicken, one is what those few people do on a daily basis of the people know, two is written also have no time to see, every day the project to have more time to write.

How to kill a chicken with sledgehammer, arguing for this situation, personal advice to use weekly newspaper instead of daily:

1. 1. This week's tasks start weekly, and team members write weekly reports based on their tasks, in fact, as a schedule.
   2. If you have new tasks and add new additions, you can update them every day without submitting them.
   3. To the last day of the week and then summarize the commit again.

The advantage of this is that the team members know and schedule their own plans, and do not have to write daily accounts, the content of the week is also full, do not waste too much energy, the above people can easily not check every day, just to see the progress.

In the end do not write to write a work diary, not only as a task and forget why and write, so do not forget beginner's mind.
