Take every opportunity to carry out or get actively involve in every single construction phase; from inception until close out.

Read more books about the mind’s internal workings. Realize that focusing on stressful situations will result in more stressful situations. Learn your limits when you have mentors that can help you out of situations you’re trying to complete. A good mentor will already know what to do, know when things should have been done and to allow you to make mistakes. One day you’ll be the mentor.

There’s no way to learn about yourself other than doing stuff you never thought you could do. Set a 250 year goal. Plan your families line. Lay the foundation.

This is my favourite part of building large concrete superstructure. The whole process is at full speed even though there are reasons why something can’t go as planned, but while still happening as planned. But randomly during the chaos of what is called work, there are moments when the drip edges are working correctly, the basements stops flooding, trucks have easier access into the site particularly because your at final grade. During these instances I enjoy watching the construction marvel working as designed. This should invoke some sort of peace insides the chaos of what work is.

5 Learn from others

Learning from others is another way to increase your self-awareness, as it exposes you to different ideas, opinions, and experiences. Learning from others can help you expand your knowledge, develop new skills, and gain new insights. You can learn from others by reading books, articles, or blogs, listening to podcasts, watching videos, or attending webinars, workshops, or courses. You can also learn from others by networking, joining online communities, or participating in mentoring or coaching programs.

6 Review your progress

The final step to increase your self-awareness is to review your progress regularly and celebrate your achievements. By reviewing your progress, you will be able to evaluate your performance, identify your challenges, and adjust your strategies. You will also be able to recognize your accomplishments, appreciate your efforts, and reward yourself. You can review your progress by using tools such as checklists, charts, or logs, or by asking for feedback from others.

I have known many people with the perspective of "that looks good from my house" and it has always driven me nuts! There's a certain level of pride one must take to be able to actually progress in any field. The perspective I always tried to instill in all of my trainees was "would you do this to your grandma's house?" Taking the time to slow down and do the job correctly and then on top of that, taking the time to review what it is that you've done and really thinking on how you can actually improve your skills then executing those observations, will pay off hand over fist in the long run, making you a better person and craftsman all at once without even realizing that it's happening.
