It helps to know the things you’re not so good at. The things you should work on. The things you know you should deal with.

They have a tendency to get ‘lost in the fog.’ Piles of paper cover those lists of once important and urgent tasks you wanted to get done but never got around to.

It may not feel comfortable to write these things down. Seeing your weaknesses, your blind-spots, on the page can be challenging.

It’s in this type of awareness that opportunities for growth live.

They could be learning opportunities. Skills you could brush-up on, or new ways to pass the time.

But they be complete attitude shifts, or changes to ways of working. The recognition that you talk too much at certain times could, for example, open up a new line of thinking and action.

The benefits on a daily basis may not be immediately visible or measurable. Be consistent and they soon will be.
