Tiny Things

Why do we often fail at the same things? Why is it that even though we complete every task, our boss is still not satisfied? Have you heard that "details determine success or failure"? Why are details so important or even the key to success?

Let's talk about examples from everyday life. If you work for an international trading company, you must be familiar with tariff rules. The principle of tariff codes is to classify your goods into different categories. The tariff code consists of a series of numbers, the first 6 digits are universal. The main nuance is the last variants. The final variant depends on the country. You need to check your local tariff rules before selecting the appropriate tariff code for your customers. Otherwise, minor differences may result in taxes being imposed.

There’s another common mistake when taking the bus. Several similar lines exist in our public transportation system. They are similar but may stop at different sites. Some of them may be far away from your destination. Some don't. When traveling alone, especially abroad, you can easily get lost. Time and money can make up for your mistakes. You still need to do your homework in advance.

How to pay more attention to details and avoid small mistakes? First, read more books every day. Second, spend some time observing anything that interests you. Third, write down any thoughts or ideas that come to your mind. Pomodoro management then allows you to become more time-aware while practicing focus and deeper thinking skills. It's like a building process. Only with patience and persistence can you benefit from reinforcement. If the foundation is unstable, the building can easily collapse. Do this day after day and you will notice changes in you in the long run.
