OKRs for Personal Goals

I continue to read two or more chapters per day from “Measure What Matters” by John Doerr. I wish I could have enough time per day.

The book is oriented to achieving business goals using something called OKRs. They are something like KPIs but the difference is in how they are generated, published, maintained, and evaluated. Continue reading “OKRs for Personal Goals”

FFT – Business After COVID-19

This is the first post of a set which I am calling “Food for Thought”. The main idea of this blog is to describe and possibly discuss things of interest to computer scientist and software developers.

When I click SIGN IN the email address that is displayed is one of the accounts that I no longer used. Today I tried to delete that email account. That is when hell broke loose. I am not able to log into my Gmail account at all. I am aware that I have received email messages due to people that have called my cell phone asking if I have received their message.
