Week 10

Week 10
This is the final post for my personal development blog, overall over the 10 weeks that I have conducted this blog I have noticed some major changes in the way I work and my work ethic. The two smart targets that I devised have made a huge difference to my work ethic, in particular proof reading my work. As I previously mentioned this is something that I have struggled to do, this is due to the fact that I have struggled to the see the point in performing. After completing an assignment I lacked the motivation to spend extra time proof reading through my work. Nevertheless this issue is something in the past, due to making this one of my smart targets and creating a strategy to help me achieve my smart target. The strategy was to proof read every section after I have completed it, in order to avoid accumilating a huge amount of work to proof read after I have completed the assignment. This method proved to be successful, allowing me to be flexible about when I proof read my work. Therefore proof reading my work began to become less of a burden a more of a neccessary step to completing the assignment. I am currently still using this process to help me complete all of the assignments that I complete, proving just how successful this method has become. Furthermore the second smart target that I set for myself to complete was paying attention to the brief, this was also something that I struggled to perform. I would simply read through the brief once and then begin to work on the assignment, this increased the possibility of making mistakes because I wasn't always aware of the brief. Fortunately I no longer have this issue because I created a strategy to help achieve this smart target-writing down all of the important pieces of information on a separate piece of paper, meaning that I could refer back to it. Therefore stopping the previous issue from occuring. 

Overall I have noticed a major change in the assignments that I complete and my work ethics, based on the fact that I have achieved the smart targets that I set out to complete. Subsequently improving my work ethic and the areas that I set out to complete.
