Blind SpotsBlind spots are characteristics that you overestimate. You are likely to see yourself as stronger in these skills thanothers see you. Here are your potential blind spots and some ideas for next steps:

Keeping on PointWhile technology has accelerated work productivity, it has also created a perfect storm ofdistractions that invade every aspect of our lives, inundating us with information. The newchallenge? Staying focused.

Prioritize – Without a clear set of priorities, your good intentions will be no match for theonslaught of stimuli competing for your attention. Make some hard decisions about what’sreally important to you. Set clear, long-term goals, and let them guide you away fromirrelevant distractions and toward the tasks that matter.

•

Streamline – Pay attention to how people respond to your verbal and written messages. Ifyour message isn’t succinct and clear, you’re likely burying your ideas and losing others’attention. Concentrate on the details that matter and keep tangential information to aminimum.

•

Mono-task – It can take up to 30 minutes to fully reestablish your concentration after evena momentary distraction. Closing your door, shutting off e-mail, or silencing your phone willincrease the overall quantity and quality of your work.

•

Balancing Work/LifeDoes your boss care if you have a life outside the office? Probably not. But most bosses knowthat a happy employee is an employee who spends time with friends, writes an occasionallimerick, and reads stories to his or her kids.

In the long run, forgoing these things will likely decrease, not increase, your overallproductivity.Reset your standards – If you’re striving for perfection at work and at home, you’re in fora tough ride. Take a cue from the world’s most productive, successful people and giveyourself room to be pretty darn good most of the time. This means you’ll get almosteverything done by the end of the day and still have time for a quick round of Ping-Pong®.

•

Team up – Try teaming up with coworkers to create a backup system. Everyone needs totake a day off, sometimes unexpectedly. Serving as backup for one another can take thepressure off when you really need a break.
