“Only the one who does nothing is not mistaken” - this expression has long been known to everyone and does not cause refutation. However, it does not mean at all that a large number of mistakes is good. On the contrary, overall productivity decreases, self-esteem and confidence in one's own professionalism can often fall. Therefore, although it is unlikely that anyone will succeed in completely avoiding mistakes, it is worth trying to minimize their number.
Necessary
- - a textbook on the basics of time management;
- - diary.
Instructions
Step 1
Read carefully all instructions regarding your activity. Often this point is not given special importance, considering it a mere formality. And completely in vain. All the basics of work are written here, knowledge of which will help to avoid rather ridiculous mistakes.
Step 2
Learn the basics of time management. By learning how to properly manage your time and organize your own activities, you will be able to work more efficiently. A little tip: do not plan more than 50-70% of your work time. As practice shows, unforeseen circumstances always arise. If you do not leave time for them in advance, you will get an overloaded schedule, you will start to rush, get nervous because you may not be in time and, as a result, make a large number of mistakes in your work. Be sure to have a day planner to keep track of what you are planning to do.
Step 3
Capture key information in meetings. Get yourself a separate notebook where you can mark the most significant moments. You can record the most important meetings with a voice recorder. So you can always check the newly received instructions and do your job in strict accordance with them. Once again, we want to emphasize that it is better to use dictaphone recordings only for really important meetings, otherwise you will later have to spend too much time listening. This is quite tedious, can distract from the main point and lead to errors.
Step 4
For good work with a minimum of mistakes, it is important to monitor your health. Eat well, get enough sleep, and pay attention to physical activity. Also, during your work day, be sure to take short rest breaks every 2 hours, and try to switch from one activity to another occasionally. This will help you focus on work, not missing important points, and not overwork. As you know, overwork is one of the most common causes of mistakes in work. By eliminating it, you can work much more efficiently.
