3 Flaws About Me

Lovely breakfast from mum bought last night when I was back in hometown. It is almost mid of September where I have little time left with the current position I am in and now working on the transition. It is a time where I would give a big thought about the thing I would want to achieve and the time and effort spent on it. Looking back, I do think that what I did do convert into something, so whether I make the time worth in a good way or in a wasteful way does matter a lot. Knowing well that I want to put myself at the business and investor quadrants, that would require me to have different types of knowledge to be in that quadrant. Therefore, one of the most important activity in my life now is to learn whatever things I could that relates and brings me nearer to getting business set up and building my investment portfolio.

Well, from the previous job I had in the building consultancy firm, I see my shortcomings are mainly on my management skills. Putting things out and facing them will help me to get the habit tweak bit by bit:

1. Careless in things that I am doing. Frankly speaking, I do find this trait of mine very bothersome. I do have moments that I missed out details and information which render in bad consequences. Understanding careless is one important thing to me, why I can be so careless some times? I could think of I can't cope with so many details and it would be impossible for me to get all the details checked all the time. That would bring me to the solution which is to write things down. This is one bad part of me too of not writing down enough details and thinking I am able to remember things that other people informing me about. So, the main habit is to get things jot down. I have to think that my mind is like a lousy receptor whereby all information coming in will be loss eventually, so it is crucial to capture all the points on the spot before the information "evaporate". So in every meetings, I will either put things into writing or type it in my phone notes for reference later.

2. Setting deadline. This is one of the bad part of me, as I usually committed a very idealistic deadline and ending up not able to deliver it. I should take it this way that the more deadline I set, the better I know myself on where my productivity goes and able to set a right deadline in later on delivery. Without try and error, I would not know how soon I could deliver to be honest and it should be part of the entrepreneurial way to be committed and get things done as soon as possible. The lesser the time we spend on, the lesser the time cost we utilized and hence more probability to get better profit margin, especially in servicing line. Thus, I should not be afraid to set idealistic deadline. Just set the deadline that I think is reasonable, record it at how much difference is it, maybe 200%, 100%, 50% difference. As long as the difference gap gets smaller, the more accurate I am in getting the deadline right. So, I need to keep track on the tasks I have on hand and put a deadline at every tasks. Then, record on the progress every night is also part of the habit I should have in order to get the data accumulated for analysis.

3. Lack of focus. Another deadly shortcoming when it comes to focus as I have a lot of stuff going on in my head, wanting to do this and that. Ending up I have nothing done right and it really makes me feel down and helpless some time. So rather than wanting to do everything at the same time, I need to get myself focus and do one thing at a moment with my own pace. Of course, not putting myself in a chillax pace in doing things, but to focus. Like now, I have a dilemma of whether to take on my professional certificate or focus on my new venture (still under negotiation). This would end up I need to be focus and see what I really want to accomplish first and go for it. Knowing that I will come back for another one and that will left me with more assurance that I can achieve both but just a little more time needed. Getting my mind clear is important and to achieve this, I think I need to write things down, print it out and make an affirmation to myself daily about the goals. I also need to talk with my beloved @enjiliew on the planning so that she could also help me out on reaffirm my direction and get me focus on track.

These three flaws will become my main focus to get rid with new micro habits and system. I think getting rid these three flaws, I will bring myself to another level whereby I could have more freedom. Let's see on how I could record this down like a report on Steemit whether I am performing or not. This would push me to write review daily too on how I perform and keep it a record for future data analysis.
