Six Tips to Help Improve Your Job performance

  1.  Assess Your Attributes
    Make a list of your strengths and weaknesses. Then ask people who know you well -- and who will be honest -- to modify it. Finally, think about how you can use each attribute for your benefit. For example, if you are always restless, consider finding a job that includes travel.
     
  2. Overcome your fears
    To reach your potential, it's critical that you conquer any fears you might have. Start by forcing yourself to tackle something unrelated to work, something that you've never dared to do. For example, I used to fear going to the movies by myself, but one day I just did it. After accomplishing this challenge, your old phobia will seem silly, like mine did, and you'll have more self-confidence. Use this to face your fears at the office, such as public speaking, one by one.
     
  3. Declutter your life.
    Getting organized will let you free up your mind and gain clarity. In addition to clearing out your desk and files, clean your computer desktop by trashing old emails and documents. To eliminate paper pileup, use an electric organizer. Also organize personal things, like your wallet, makeup bag and clothing closet.
     
  4. Protect Your Sanity
    Being stress-free is key for warding off burnout. Try doing at least one physical activity a day. Also, create a quiet space in your home where you can relax; go there for at least five minutes each day.
     
  5. Don’t trust blindly.
    Not everyone you work with is necessarily on your side. Be careful whom you rely upon and whom you confide in.
     
  6. Be true to your values.
    Ask yourself: How do I want to live my life? Then think about whether your company allows you to do this. If it doesn't, consider a job change.
