Civility Comes First: A Guide to Improving Your Civil Score and Relationships
Welcome to the world of “civil scores”! No, it’s not your high school GPA, but it’s just as important. A civil score is a measure of how well you navigate the world without being a total jerkface. And let’s be real, no one wants to be a jerkface. So, let’s get started on improving that score of yours. In this blog post, we’ll talk about identifying areas for improvement, developing a plan of action, implementing and monitoring progress, maintaining and continuing to improve, and most importantly, not being a jerkface.
Identify areas for improvement:
Before we can improve our civil score, we need to know where we stand. Take a good hard look at yourself and assess where you might be falling short in the civility department. Are you constantly interrupting others? Do you struggle with online communication? Are you the office gossip? These are all common areas where people struggle with civility. But don’t be discouraged, everyone has room for improvement. And don’t worry, we’ll work on it together. The first step to improving your civil score is acknowledging that there’s room for improvement. Try to be honest with yourself, and don’t be afraid to ask friends, family or colleagues for their input. They can give you a different perspective and point out areas you may have overlooked.
Develop a plan of action:
Now that you’ve identified your areas for improvement, it’s time to develop a plan of action. But before you go off half-cocked, remember to set specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals. For example, instead of just saying “I’ll be more civil,” try setting a goal to “not interrupt others during meetings for the next month.” And remember, the key to success is a good strategy. Maybe try a training program or communication guidelines. Come up with a plan that works for you and stick to it. Consider seeking professional help if you find certain areas hard to improve, like anger management or communication skills.
Implement and monitor progress:
You’ve got your plan, now it’s time to put it into action. But don’t just set it and forget it. Keep track of your progress and measure your success. Did you reach your goal of not interrupting others during meetings? Did people start calling you “Saint [Your Name]” because of your newfound civility? These are the important questions to ask yourself. And don’t be afraid to make adjustments to your plan if you’re not seeing the results you want. Reflect on your progress regularly and adjust your goals as needed.
Maintain and continue to improve:
Just because you’ve improved your civil score, doesn’t mean you’re done. Maintaining and continuing to improve is crucial. Keep setting those SMART goals and keep working on being less of a jerkface. And remember, just because you’re not a jerkface now, doesn’t mean you can’t become one again. Stay vigilant. Don’t let your guard down and continue to strive for a higher civil score. In addition, make sure to surround yourself with people who also have a high civil score and learn from them, it will make it easier for you to maintain your progress.
conclusion
In conclusion, improving your civil score is a journey that requires effort, commitment and patience. By identifying areas for improvement, developing a plan of action, implementing and monitoring progress, and maintaining and continuing to improve, you can make progress towards a higher civil score and a better reputation. Remember, being civil is not just about not being rude, it’s also about being considerate, respectful and empathetic towards others. And don’t forget, no one wants to be a jerkface.
