myBehaviours – Personal Development Area for focus
What will I do to remain focussed and create an improvement? What actions can I take? What activity can I take on? Tell others Talk about your focus. This can help your colleagues understand why you are behaving differently and might also encourage them to comment on any improvement – or slipping back into old ways! Do the things I don’t like first or prioritise if after anything that is truly urgent. Reward myself for doing the boring stuff! Measure my stress levels every day! (1-10) Have a look on myLearning for a simple time management tool. Tell my colleagues what I am working on changing this. When I feel overwhelmed, think about how I am interacting. Reflect on what happens to me and others. Practice pausing and breathing before I respond.
Why am I focussing on this and how will I know I am improving? What difference will it make (to me, to my colleagues, customers, Anchor) Tell others Talk about your focus. This can help your colleagues understand why you are behaving differently and might also encourage them to comment on any improvement – or slipping back into old ways!
When will I review my progress and who will I involve?
Be selective Behaviours are about developing new habits, if you chose too many areas to work on at the same time, you will lose focus. We recommend 2 or 3 at the very most.
Set a time frame Committing to a date to review progress is invaluable and involving someone in that commitment increased your chances of success.
I know I get side tracked and can procrastinate when I am faced with a job I don’t like – this means that sometimes I have to rush things at the last minute.
I wont feel so overwhelmed and stressed. I will have a sense of calm that’s missing these days.
Every shift to start with and then reflect each week on how good I was. Give myself a score (1- 10) and share with my manager.
I get snippy with I’m overwhelmed and this can come across when I’m busy. I don’t mean to be rude but I know I can come across as defensive.
My colleagues will have the version of me they like and we will get back to working better together. I won’t feel so mean! My stress levels will go down and when I go home at night stop going over thinks as much in my head.
At my next review I want to have moved up to ‘consistently achieving’ for self awareness.
