Away from your Desk Binder, Create a Desk Philosophy. An example is below:
The Mandate – Why Does Your Job Exist – Your Job Description
Our mission is not merely to maintain uptime, but to ensure the continuity of the institution. We view our technical stack as a modern monument—built with the precision of an architect and the foresight of a historian.
The Core Pillars of Your Job
1. Integrity of My Desk
Example: “We do not build for the next quarter; we build for the next decade. Every project must reflect my personal Standards: clean, documented, and resilient. My desk represents functional Systems not Quick Fixes.
2. Digital Stewardship
My desk is the guardians of certain data and digital legacy. My desk treats security not as a feature, but as a matter of protection of corporate intellectual property and processes. If the data proprietary, my desk is a vault.
3. The Protocol of Innovation
Innovation must be purposeful. My desk does not chase trends for the sake of novelty or a Kudos or a raise. My desk adopts new technology when it strengthens my projects, my desk, my department or enhances the efficiency of maintaining proprietary information and corporate culture.
Code of Conduct Around my Desk
- Precision over Speed: A mistake is a crack in the foundation of my Vault. My desk measures twice before implementing.
- Invisible Excellence: The highest form of work from my desk is that which the department notices because it functions flawlessly and is missed when I’m away.
- Ownership: My desk resolves problems. Every person interacting with my desk is treated as a client and their work is respected as theirs and my work is mine. Our work together is ours.
Archiving and Auditing of Data
- The Archive: Every major project once completed is entered into the Permanent Digital Record of the corporation to avoid brain drain.
- Auditing : My desk does not blame others for my mistakes. My desk treats failures as historical lessons to be documented and avoided. Major mistakes are shared with the Public Relations and legal departments for auditing and documentation.
-End of Desk Philosophy –
Edit this for your desk, print it and put it in your I’m away from my desk binder.
Are you Detoxing your body for Vacation? Here is a menu to follow.
Breakfast: One cup of rice or a regular sized bowl of rice with an egg and margarine with olive oil. A cup of coffee with milk. The combination of milk and rice gives you the amino acids you need to rebuild and repair your body. The margarine helps remove toxins from your bloodstream and fat layer. The coffee helps burn fat. You will get used to not having a sweet breakfast but your brain needs glucose/sugar and that can be added to your coffee.
Lunch: Repeat or have something else. During Detoxing, your body hates getting rid of chemicals, it is safer for the body to keep them stored in your fat. If you feel sick, it may be those chemicals being released from medicines and other digested toxins. If you were a heavy drug user, please contact your doctor. Side effects from those drugs may appear when detoxing and you may want to have your doctor monitor your blood as you detox.
Dinner: Cup of Rice and vegetables
For medical advice, please contact a doctor. The health coaching information provided in this post is educational only. I am not your personal health coach but work with your doctor to keep you healthy. Health Storey Coaches request all clients to have a baseline exam with their doctor to make sure they are healthy enough to detox. If you are sick with any serious illness, detoxing must be with a physician monitoring. If you are healthy, make sure your doctor agrees.
