Don’t interfere in your colleague’s work or roam around at the workplace.

  • Review your own performance regularly. Evaluate whether you have finished your work on time or not?

  • Prepare an action plan as to how a particular task can be accomplished. Adopt a step by step approach. It is important to first finish one task before starting the next.
