Ask These 3 Things Every Day

Hi everyone! Today I would like to share an interesting industry practice that was shared by dear Sis H last week from her own internship stint.

I truly believe this practice can be applied beyond the walls of our office to our own lives.

–

So every morning, their team will gather at the start of the day to ask 3 things within themselves and each person has to share with the rest of the team. The 3 things are:

What did I do yesterday?
What shall I achieve today?
Do I need help?

What did I do yesterday?

This question makes us scratch our heads to reflect on the activities we have completed the day before. It refreshes our memory on where we left off yesterday so that we can start on the right page and thus are mentally prepared to start the day!

What shall I achieve today?

Such question flows naturally when we wrap up completed tasks. We may even left the office yesterday with many things unchecked. Thus, this question will help us to calibrate our direction for the day. What else must I do? What else can I do?

Do I need help?

There might be a time when we need help. This part may or may not be surfaced depending on our situation. Some may find it hard to seek help while others may not know if others around him need it. Hence, such opportunities not only gives relief to those in need. It also establishes a community, a platform for people to help each other, transfer skills and acknowledge the people who have the ability to lend a hand.

That’s it! 🙂 I was pleasantly surprised when Sis H shared this to me the other day. It sounds so simple but promising.

The best part about this activity is that, it leaves us with a sense of closure and acknowledgement for every task done, an air of commitment to achieve something everyday when you actually verbalize to fellow colleagues and ultimately, a support system for one to openly seek help from one another.

Although this is a practice from the tech industry (but I believe other industries practice this too!), I think we can also apply this within our own spheres.

So here goes my own sharing for today:

I have completed the tasks assigned, namely 2 EDMs and an email for a prospective partnership.
Today, I will complete 2 books and then write a book review about each one.
If you have any books to recommend under the following genres, do help a sis out 🙂
