Six Tips to Help Improve Your Job
performance
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
