Generally speaking, we do things the way we do because we think that is the best way of doing them. I was listening to a podcast where the person said “I always wonder if there is a better way of doing something.”
This got me thinking is how I am doing the best? Is there a better way of doing something I am doing now? So I took a look at the main things I am doing on a daily basis. I took inventory to see if I could do things better.
The Best Way
This was not easy. Breaking free of patterns that I have been in for years. But taking a close look has helped me but before I get into that here are the areas I took a look at. My relationships, work, side projects, and free time.
These are the four areas that I found took up most of my time. So these would be the ones with the biggest gains if I could improve them or should I say when I do.
Results
Now that I have been doing this for a few weeks now I have seen some major improvement. Taking a closer look has opened my eyes to new ways of doing things. This has been in all areas mentioned above.
I also took this a step further and asked people that I was close to how I could improve. This was a game-changer because they were nice but also told me what I needed to know. If you ask you have to be willing to hear the answer even if it hurts a bit. Overall, I am glad I have started to do this and will continue to do so.
Here is an article that I found about not asking how can we improve. I found it interesting and thought you might like it as well. Click Here.
