The Challenge of Thinking and Performing Efficiently

Every day, I order my coffee at the same company's drive thru, but at different locations. I always ask for the same thing; medium coffee with 5 creams, 2 sugars and 2 equals inside, hoping that the teenager who prepares it will be able to follow those simple instructions, right. Guess what? Most of the time, they don't!
I wonder if it is the age that has to do with the ability to understand and follow instructions or is it that each individual has a different capacity to understand. The problem is that the majority of teens, don't get it!
In real estate we have to make difficult decisions that require critical thinking. I am sure that in any other business it is the same thing. We have to be efficient, make decisions, solve problems and perform promptly.
In my opinion a person can be trained to do better by following the tips below:
- Concentrate on what you are doing
- Control your frustrations
- Be prepared in advance
- Avoid distractions
- Listen Actively
- Judge ideas responsibly
- Share your thoughts and ideas
- Repeat what you are doing and understand
- Take notes
- Make a habit of good and positive thinking.
As with everything else, with some practice and willingness we can improve our efficiency, understanding and have better comprehension of what we are trying to accomplish and how to do it.
We can improve our decision making and performance by using good critical thinking.
