It can be easy to get so caught up in the day-to-day grind of your work that you forget to step back and take stock of what’s actually happening around you.

From time to time it’s important to take a breath and evaluate where you are now compared to where you aim to be.

Taking the time to look around your work environment can provide valuable insight into how things are running and give you an idea of which areas need improvement.

Being aware of what’s going on outside your own tasks will help you understand how even small changes can have big impacts on productivity.
