SHC32-5.2 Demonstrate how reflective practice has led to improved ways of working.
VladimirAG [237]
Reflective practice : studying your own experience to improve the way you work.

for example :
- When i work as an accountant for a beverage company for about 3 years now. Believe it or not, i do more works in this past 6 months than i ever did during the previous 2.5 years.

When i first started this job, i basically do everything at once. I always activate 3 or 4 laptops in my desk because i think it will make me more productive. But i was wrong.I made a lot of mistakes and my jobs become unorganized since doing multitasking robbed me from my focus.

After i tried focussing myself to do 1 particular task of the time, my work results became a lot better and i'm able to do more tasks a lot faster
