Not the parent, but what bothers me is how the author tries to spin the idea of taking notes when you're new as something profound. He even gives it a catchy name "WTF Notebook". And the connection between creating a reputation of a fixer at the company, and taking notes with a WTF journal, is weak. I usually don't like to hate on articles like this and instead ignore them, but since you asked, it mostly sounds like bullshit to me.
- colonwqbang 3y agoWriting things down and thinking them over before acting on them, isn't bullshit. There's other decent advice in the article. I think your review of the article is overly negative. Perhaps these techniques come naturally to some people, and others need to learn it by instruction? I'm in the latter camp. I often need to think about how I sound and make sure I don't come across as too negative.
