Think about what could happen if your mind is NOT on the task at hand. Yes, it is that time of the year and we all need to RE-FOCUS on the job at hand. How does your mind wander?
The more routine the task, the more the mind wanders on other things like ‘to do lists, finances, the holidays, etc.’ On average, 4 hours of every day at work our mind is on something other than the task at hand. When you lose focus in our construction world, you are basically cruising for trouble! Our job is of safety sensitive and we cannot afford to let our mind wondered away from our job.
What can you do to stay FOCUSED?
- Review your scope of work – bring your mind back to the task at hand.
- Approach tasks as if you are teaching someone how to do it.
- Take a Break and a step back to Re-focus.
