My Work Mindsets

Good work mindsets develop professional behavior.


  1. Principle-minded
    Focus on the “why” behind things, not just “how”.
    This helps enhance problem-solving skills and makes decisions more forward-looking and adaptable.

  2. Reliability-minded
    Back up all data, and ensure every change has a rollback plan.
    This minimizes the risk of unexpected failures and prevents irreversible damage.

  3. Ticket-minded
    Track all tasks through tickets, rather than relying on emails or chats.
    This keeps work organized and transparent, making follow-up easier.

  4. Automation-minded
    Use tools and scripts to automate repetitive tasks, avoiding manual operations.
    This saves time, increases efficiency, and reduces errors.

  5. Test-minded
    Every change must be tested first.
    Experience, trust, and confidence are all unreliable.

  6. Concise-minded
    Prioritize data metrics, screenshots, flowcharts, architecture diagrams, mind maps, and spreadsheets when documenting and presenting.
    Clear visual communication is more efficient and easier to understand than lengthy text.

  7. Knowledge-minded
    Document experiences, acquired knowledge, and lessons learned.
    This will prevent repeated mistakes, improve efficiency and transparency, and boost the team’s overall capability.

  8. Team-minded
    Properly dividing tasks and collaborating helps avoid over-reliance on any individual and efficiently accomplish seemingly impossible tasks.
    One person may go faster alone, but a team can go further together.
