8 Ways To Measure Your Performance

Happy Hump Day! Today has been packed with breaking news, presidential address and analysis, and zoom meetings. Pandemic measures are slowly being repealed as more people are fully vaccinated. (Yes, I got my second Moderna shot today) As I adjust my efforts to reflect the season, several things came to mind. What are you working on? How is it going for you? Who is holding you accountable? While what you're working towards should be your passion, is it really? Are you feeling a sense of accomplishment? Or are you looking for applause? Do you care what goals and benchmarks you're hit? Or are you looking for the pat on the back or the wink and the nod? Truth be told, many people halt or end their side hustle passion projects because some ominous individuals disapprove. Surprisingly, people downplay their expertise for false modesty and verbal kudos. In our Faithful Mornings with Pastor Ericka group, we often talk about how the preached Word may be tight but it's right. Once people get over the bitterness of this pill, you'll do better. My research found eight ways that people can measure their performance:

1. Check Your Attitude. "Attitude is very important," says employment consultant Rick Waters. ...
2. Be Reflective. ...
3. Assess Your Performance Against the Job Specifications. ...
4. Keep a File. ...
5. Find out the Supervisor's Expectations. .
6. Get Feedback From Others. ...
7. Be a Team Player. ...
8. Plan Ahead.

These methods are meant to quantify your metrics. You want to monitor your progress as you move towards your target. I must admit, I have been saying that I'm working on things. Speaking on it and obsessing about it.  In actuality,  my progress has been lacking. No one is holding me accountable because they're stuck in their own lives with their own difficulties.  And the well wishes are as dried up as the Sahara desert.  But I finally came to the realization that silent moves are the best. No one needs to know what you're doing unless they can help get you to the next level. I don't need the noise. . It's a better testament when you've accomplished something rather than the struggle to get through it.  Everyone wants to win at something and tell that story. Hustle in silence and let your success scream out. Allow your tests to be your testimony. I know it will be worth it in the end because of all the stories proceeding mine. I'm certainly sharing my journey and I'm inviting you to come along.  Share your comments below.  Thank you for reading this article and supporting  this blog space.
