Do you know what you do? See what gets done.
Develop a clearer picture of your own personal productivity and professional development. Keep some record of your performance. Best done (at a minimum) weekly, this "review process" gives you significant information you need as you continue making your best better. It's as easy as writing something down or taking a picture. It does NOT take a lot of time and the cumulative value of this kind of weekly assessment is clear after just 8 weeks of practice. What have I learned by doing this? Two things:
1. I do more than I think I do.
At the end of a 5-10 day cycle (yes, I try to do this weekly but sometimes it just works better to stop "from time to time" and think) of work, I look back and reflect on what I've worked on lately. This gives me semi-objective information and allows me the time to assess the balance between what I intended to do and what I actually put my attention on.
2. I do not always work on the Most Important Things (MITs).
