I have been making lots of mistakes in my work. Silly mistakes like forgetting to lock column when copying formula on excel files, missing out on factual info while preparing reports. I am overwhemed with a lot of work lately but feels like I just can not give a report eithout any flaw. I am feeling very lost and demotivated. Today I made mistakes in a report that I have done twice before. Has anyone experienced this? How do I improve from here

I’ve found that slowing down helps me. It’s better to take the extra time to do it right the first time than speed through and make mistakes that require correction later down the line.

Sometimes you have to go slow to go fast ✨

ADHD here so I make a shitton of little mistakes and forget stuff on the regular. If you have any wiggle room in your schedule, the best thing for me is to put something down and come back to it with fresh eyes.

Especially something I've worked on at the end of the day when my brain is super fried, coming back the next morning after a sleep is very helpful.

Build in checks as you go. If you expect an output to come out around X is what you ended with close to that? Don’t wait to check the entire analysis at the end. After each step, do your standard checks. It’s much easier to see the tree when you’re not buried in the forest yet.

From a holistic perspective, consider doing some breathing techniques, mindfulness exercises, or light stretching too. You are a human being and our minds need just as much care as our bodies. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, it could be a signal to check in with yourself. That’ll help you set the tone for how you manage yourself.
