I just read this and realized I've been misusing snippets for the eighteen months I've been at Google. There's a lesson there..


What have you been using them for then...


I've been saying what I did rather than reflecting on what is important and what to do next.

Doesn't matter because I don't think anybody's been reading them either. Most of my team doesn't use them at all.


Kinda undermines the article then.


Not necessarily... snippets can be usefull for the simple fact of organizing one's mind and week. Whether or not a manager keeps track of them, they allow the employee to personally be accountable.


That's exactly what happens to me with my personal idonethis, at least I'm using Team idonethis: http://idonethis.com/habits/ the right way.


Are the snippets collected into a public area?
