Top 3 things that works at the Workplace

Oh! I have come back to writing after a long time and see what I am writing about. Top 3 things to do at the workplace, what's new in it...? isn't it. If this is your reaction then you are one of those 90% people who just read the title and decided whether you should read it or not. However, if you are still reading it then voila you are not one of them. If you read newspaper, blog title, youtube video title or watch Television show or a movie trailer you will see that headline is catchy and then after reading/watching it for a while you still won't be able to relate the news and finally end up reading/watching it completely and find 'What a waste of time'. Now the question comes what is the benefit of this to people who post such stuff, simple answer is they benefit from the number of views, likes, comments (sshhh...doesn't matter if the comments are evil) they are still getting traffic (Lol). This used to happen to me a number of times, but not anymore. Has this happened with you? Share it in the comments section below

Now coming back to my blog, yes you can continue reading and I promise it is worth the time. Below are top 3 things to do at the workplace

Number 3:Never lose focus

Smoking is one of the biggest reason why people lose their focus, every smoker can stay away from cigarette for some time and that sometime defines his smoking frequency. More than 3 times a day, 3 times a day, twice a day, once a day etc. So, when you are working on something that requires your attention for a long period of time you simply can't focus because you gotta go out for a smoke/chillam/fag. Yeah there are many cute names for this dangerous habit, as if it is your lovely pet/friend. In order not to lose focus, you should try to lose this habit. If you cannot lose this habit then manage your focus by working in Pomodoro's sessions. A Pomodoro session means you work for 25 mins without getting distracted and take a break of 5 mins after every 25 mins session.

Number 2: Always be presentable and be present

For women, it means stop being under/over dressed in heavy/bright colors and wear minimum makeup. For men, it means a right size of formal work wear, avoid Jeans and Sports shoes. Most importantly ladies and gentleman don't forget to wear that beautiful smile :)

Number 1: Be ready with your homework

I know there will be everyday challenges and to top it there will be surprises ready for you at work. For example, you got this new project where you don't have domain knowledge. Don't say no to it simply stating that you lack domain knowledge, ask for time and do your own research (of course limit this research hours as per the situation). If you still don't get it communicate the same to your manager and get help. Whenever you have a question try to solve it by yourself and timebox this research time gauging the value it will bring. Before submitting your work for peer review do a self-review, the best way to do a self-review of your work is to take a 10 to 15 mins break after you are done with your work and then come back and start reviewing as if you are the reviewer assigned for this work. This will help you refresh your brain and you will be able to find any mistakes and thus avoid a bunch of mistakes that could be identified as a result of peer review
