7 IDEAS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

1. Be Proactive

I know no one on the planet that has improved their work or personal life “seeing them pass”, sitting quietly with a contemplative-passive spirit. The person who wants to improve, which is determined to make a difference, gets up, takes a step, then another. Walk.

Sometimes it implies having to learn, having to ask something, go to a site looking for something bothering … whatever. Proactive do not stop to see the trouble, displays the result of his action, his success. Do I have to learn to manage a new application? It’s a nuisance, yes, but my work will have more quality, finish before, with fewer hassles and will be even more creative and effective.

It is imperative to take the initiative, really want to do it and, most importantly, do it. And if it costs you take that vital step, stop and think half a minute what you get if you do, the benefit to do so.

2. Get caught by what you do

There is nothing more terrible than monotony or, even worse, not being able to see nothing but monotony in what we do. To improve every day you have to embrace everything as your first time, be passionate for every step you take. Discard the “buff again to do this …”

Sometimes it is difficult to fight routine, but if we do not put passion — that’s what makes a proactive person — we will eventually drown. Of course in our day there are more exciting than others, some have to be done for its own sake and others are not so nice things. But do not let those are the ones that mark your day and your work. Searches and detects what you really are passionate, and most still be passionate about it. Enthusiasm is the best medicine for routine and to make a difference, but we have to do our part.

3. Focus on small

I think much of the success — to make a difference — muybien lies in making small everyday things. “What presentation so well done!”. Surely that person stopped to improve and implement quality in the details, eye, NO minutiae and irrelevant, but small and essential.

Often mistakenly we believe that small is not essential, just so you have a certain magnitude is. It is not always the case. Prints all your enthusiasm and creativity into something small, and the sum of those things will make your work have better quality, will make a difference.

4. Get to know your tools

“What presentation so well done!”. Surely the responsibility of making it an ax in Keynote or Powerpoint. Want to really make a difference? Become an expert in applications or tools to handle daily. I do not know them well say, I speak to dominate completely. Why?

You will end before your work, because you will learn the secrets of this tool, you will be more efficient and effective.
Your work will secure more quality, because you will learn how to apply more surprising or will use advanced techniques you’ve learned effects.
Can best tell your message — for example to sell — because this tool will serve your creativity, and in no way will the will condition.
You create and imagine your job, the tool allows you to capture it.

5. Look for real objectives

I think if I want to make a difference, to improve every day, I have to get goals. But on top of that, it is essential to be real, feasible. Many people shipwrecked because unattainable goals that involve a lot of work, lots of creativity or gets very drastic changes.

These are like pieces of a puzzle. “My challenge today is to put these five pieces, nothing more. But I’m going to do very well, without stress and with all the enthusiasm and energy that I can. “ In point three spoke of focusing on the small. With daily goals I believe to do the same. Set a big goal but go to her with small realistic goals that you can meet, for example, every day.

6. Do not be afraid to experiment

It is also a good recipe to combat the monotony I mentioned before. Do some unvarying form, every day of the year, is a direct passport to the country of boredom. Just the opposite of what we pursue! Try new ways of doing, applications, research a bit, change the order in which you do your homework, method. Try to be too creative with the way you work. Besides curbing apathy may well get further improve your workflow and the result will be better.

7. Savor your work, visualize your success

This has much to do with the passion that you put into what you do — point two -. There is nothing more unfair to yourself to do something, do it well or very well, and even stop and savor it. Are we assembly lines? The sample your work is the most immediate reward will, will encourage further improvement, to continue research, to learn and innovate.

And if you’re in the middle of a complex project … it seems that never ends, you appreciate the little advances, mini successes. Saboréalos, you insuflen morale and self-esteem, and mainly shows the overall success of the project, whether it will take months to arrive. You’re doing-and-getting. That will help ilusionarte every day with it and especially encourage you to do better.
