Weekly reflection can be a powerful tool for improvement. You use the weekend to contemplate the larger forces of your industry, your organization, and/or your job. Without the distractions that come with the Monday through Friday busywork, you should be able to see things in a whole new light. Use this insight to alter your approach to the upcoming week, improving the efficiency and efficacy of your work. So give this a try. Schedule 15 to 30 minutes on the weekend where you can have some quiet time to reflect on your week ahead. Are there any insights that can help improve your performance and/or reduce potential stress? If so, Note them down and review them right before you come into work Monday morning. This process gives you a sense of control and thus decreases your stress level.
