Do you allow yourself to get bogged down in petty things? If you find yourself wasting time on office politics or personal gossip; or if you are always dashing from one task or person to another, you won’t have the energy to play at the top level.
To refine your performance and create sound results – both in your personal and professional life work on the following:
1. Be transparent.
Organize your life around transparency. It will allow you to stop playing the guessing game with yourself and others around you, which can take up a lot of unnecessary energy. If you are not being transparent, you encourage others to not be transparent, resulting in “corridor” talk and even back-biting. This is not an environment you want to be part of because it is counterproductive. Transparency takes your discussions to the next level.
2. Simplify.
Life can be complex as you try to juggle family, work, profession, personalities, priorities and schedules.
By keeping things simple and getting the basics right you give yourself a head start to balancing the multifaceted demands in your life.
3. Be non-judgmental.
A lot of energy gets unnecessarily expended in envy, jealousy and judgment of others. When you take an approach of “malice toward none,” you free yourself from negative energy. These liberating feelings can be invested in creative and innovative work. You want to look at performance of others and self in a non judgmental approach to get the objective viewpoint.
