Spinning Plates theory




    Have you ever seen those awesome shows where a juggler would spin few plates in the air?

    This can be the base of a major new theory in time management. Not only that but it can have an immense effect on business in a way that could revolutionize the way we look at prioritization of efficiency as we "get work done".

    Sure, we can take the most important task first, or the easiest one first. But what happens if all 15 things you have to do are ALL top priority? The ability to properly prioritize might not be useful at all in such conditions. The "Field hospital Triage" concept no longer holds, if no patients turn out to be "expendable" or acceptable risk.

    So what do you do in such a situation?
    ... You spin plates!

    To my dear friends at Maktoob


    Congratulations ... I'm so proud of you and of all your hard work. You've been burning the midnight oil and deserve to be congratulated on the amazing work.

    I haven't had the time to say, "Good Job" on so many things, but it's better late than never. Well done my friends. Not only because someone like Yahoo recognized you. But because you have actually made it. It was your hard work and dedication that made it. Having someone recognize it is just icing on a very yummy cake. So well done

    On the same congratulatory note, I should extend this also to Jeeran, who raised the interests of Intel. Zain and One world who few years ago paved the way for everyone else when they wooed Microsoft

    YES, this is a fantastic step on the right way ... We can do it.

    A sad day in Jordanian entrepreneurship history

    PhotoJoNet, the Amazing service that prints and delivers your photos your house in Jordan is closing it's doors. How sad is that?

    This wonderful service has great potential. I'm so surprised that no venture capitalists in Jordan decided to pick them up and support them until they're big enough to make it on their own.

    While trivial sites that bring absolutely nothing to the landscape, continue to get support and flourish... How sad!

    Why #entrepreneurs -might- succeed!

    If you have a steady job, great! You're better than many. You can rely on the comfort and security that comes along when you do what you're told. At the end of the day that's what the very definition of "Job" is.

    But how many people actually love their jobs, or even like it? I wouldn't be very far of if I say, very few. In fact, most people like certain aspects about their jobs. Love the perks and the benefits, but for the vast majority... A job is something to put bread on the table, people tolerate it because of that.

    This is not the case with Entrepreneurships. Who would start something if they didn't truly, madly and deeply love what they're doing? In fact, it's one of the downsides of entrepreneurs that they actually love their "babies" a bit too much to see that they're not doing so well, until it's too late!

    The results for start-ups are really grim. Less than 10% make it through the first year. Of those, less than 10% ever reach a good operational size, and of those, less than 10% reach an IPO. Of those, perhaps less than 1% reach the status of Google or Microsoft.. So thinking about it, it's rather bleak for anyone...

    Enough with the facebook clones already!

    This morning, I received an invitation to join yet another new social network. This time, it's a Jordanian made Facebook clone called PetraBook.

    I relaly love to support start ups and great new ideas, please stress on "NEW" ideas.

    Not only that, just recap my older article on why I don't trust Arab online services.

    Few weeks back it was MuslimFacebook, and a few Arab-book clones. Quite frankly, I'm getting a tad annoyed with all of these. Here's why

    But first, If there was one thing I would add to "why I don't trust Arab online services" it would be this, when "implementing" someone else's code, even open source, I have no guarantee or security audit of any form that the source owner didn't add back doors to gain unlawful access to my personal data.

    To the idiot who said, Teams are the best...

    To the idiot who proclaimed that teams are the best organizational unit in any high performance organization. With all due respect, you're an IDIOT!

    Teams are crap! They don't work right half the time, and the politics behind keeping them together and functioning are a full time job on it's own!

    Yes, SOME people might feel better in teams but for everyone else, it's hell!
