Building Career Capital

Productivity for Knowledge Workers

A book-shaped table of contents for productivity as practiced by a knowledge worker: foundations, self-management, goal setting, time and deep work, personal knowledge management, learning, task systems, decision making, habits, digital productivity, engineering and career practice, health, review, and an advanced operating-system layer, plus reference appendices — cross-linking existing notes instead of duplicating them.

Networking Systems

Treating professional relationships as a maintained system — a standing cadence, not a burst of activity right before a job search.

3 — Interview Preparation Systems

The tracking and cadence layer around interview prep — see System Design and Data Structures & Algorithms for the curriculum itself, which this book points to rather than duplicates.

4 — Continuous Skill Development

Budgeting deliberate time for skills that won't pay off for a year against the constant pull of work that pays off this week.

Portfolio Building

Compounding visible proof of skill — writing, OSS, a portfolio site — into leverage for the next role, instead of leaving it undocumented.
