Daily Accomplishments and Compliments Are Like Nuts
To See All Three Panels Just Move Your Mouse Across The Cartoon And Enjoy
Are you keeping track of your daily accomplishments and compliments from customers? If you are you are headed in the right direction. If you are not what are you waiting for? You will be surprised at the number of great things that you do every day that you just take for granted.
You might say I do this all the time or this is just who I am, but the reality is your boss might not be aware. If you start to track these accomplishments and customer compliments then you will have the opportunity to gather them together like the squirrels gather nuts together for the winter. You will have these accomplishments at your finger tips to use when ever you need them. This means when it is time to do your self review or prepare your monthly report you will have information that you documented ready to use.
Some people have said, Harry that is too much work. I suggest that it is really a time saver. You can spend just a few minutes every day reviewing what you have accomplished and writing it down in one centralized place or hours trying to remember with the risk of forgetting something that was really important. Tracking your accomplishments and collecting them in one centralized place for use as you need it later is a simple, time saving, easy way for you take control of the development your career. It is also an opportunity to analyze what is working well and what you need to improve on. Over the course of several months you will start to see patterns and trends revealed to you. Keeping track of these events will show you what is and is not working in your office. Considering all of the benefits of hording your accomplishments in a centralized place like the squirrels gather nuts for the winter is an easy way to be successful at work. Like Rita says, “You’d be nuts not to.”
