Have you all ever encountered the confusion of a chemical industry worker?
Thread Content
I have been working in petrochemical production management for over a decade now. Confronted with numerous standards, regulations, theories, and related knowledge, sometimes I feel that I know a lot, but at other times I think I don’t know anything at all. Many details need to be confirmed by consulting relevant materials. Especially since having a child, I struggle to get enough sleep at night, and suddenly I find that many of the professional concepts are ambiguous; it’s really scary when I think about it. How do others manage to get through this phase? I hope everyone can offer some suggestions.
There’s no good solution to this – either one has to spend less time with the child, or work less; it’s difficult to take care of the child and handle tasks at the same time
The original poster said they work in management and may have limited exposure to technical aspects. See which direction you want to move in. If one is solely focused on management, as long as things can be kept under control that’s sufficient; handling everything personally is not necessarily a good thing. If you want to pursue a technical path, a solid foundation is essential. The above are purely personal suggestions
It’s sufficient to be able to quickly find where the commonly used standards are; it’s basically impossible to memorize them all
Sometimes, the more you know, the easier it is to get confused; only by persistent repetition can one…*
There is no need to remember everything completely; it’s enough to know where to find it. Even as a tech guy, I can’t remember all the details.
Do more written work; if you forget, look it up – it will pass quickly.
Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I think that’s indeed the case; we need to find a breakthrough point and master it thoroughly
I’m sorry; I used an app to reply, and there was no confirmation that the reply was sent. Thinking it hadn’t been submitted, I clicked a few more times
