TIPS FOR AVOIDING MISTAKES.

1. MAKE A LIST - A leading medical journal recently reported that when surgeons used a pre-surgical checklist,death rate from surgical error plunged by 47 per cent.

2.SECOND GUESS – Most people think it’s smarter,when taking a test,to go with the first instinct.Don’t. Most people who change their answers usually improve their test scores.

3.WRITE IT DOWN- Our memory automatically distorts our recall of past actions,making them seem more favourable.For instance,college students consistently remember their school grades as being much better than they actually were.

4.GET SOME SLEEP – A study found even moderate sleep deprivation can have the same hazardous effects as being drunk.People who drive a car after being awake for 17 to 19 hours performed worse than those with a blood alcohol level of 0.5 per cent.

5.DO LESS – Multitasking is a great way to make mistakes.What will your boss be more concerned about,taking your time or getting everything wrong.
