How can you maintain accuracy and attention to detail when working on repetitive tasks?

Follow Stephen Covey or Dale Carnegie quadrants - important and urgent comes first. Urgent but unimportant second. Not urgent but important third and Not urgent and not important last. When checking email - look for those that are replies for any requests first, or anything that comes up marked Urgent first. Skim through the emails and look at the important and urgent ones first. Leave the others until later in the day. An excel sheet or checklist marking what is urgent and important in order of importance is great, keeps you on track on what needs to be looked at first.

1. Maintain balance by aligning energy levels with task demands. Prioritize and break down labor-intensive deliverables for peak energy levels, leaving the quick/easy tasks during low energy. 2. Be mindful of the pitfalls of task switching, as it can consume time and resources. 3. Avoid overwhelming overload by resisting the urge to say yes to every request. Leverage technology to automate responses for consistent asks, allowing you to channel or redirect the ask to a resource to build a more sustainable workflow. 4. Eliminate ineffective practices, embrace innovation to modernize your approach, and focus on what truly matters to make an impact. Start with, I understand you asked this but did you give thought to this method?

At my last job I worked in programming code. It was extremely tedious and took a lot of mental focus. I had to constantly take a break from it. Working on a menial task such as answering an email, or doing an administrative function such as organizing the supply cabinet which was not urgent and not important but needed to be done, was helpful in doing the mentally challenging programming.

Spellcheck is great, but fallible. Words can still be spelled correctly but is the wrong word in the sentence. Re-reading manually can help- especially reading it out loud, so you can hear that you have used the wrong word. Also if not confidential, have a co-worker review it as well, sometimes another set of eyes can see a mistake you missed.

1. Sometimes the best reward is when you put a spring in someone's step when they are in a bind or had a fire to put out but didn't know how to sort through a resolution. It is extremely gratifying to know that your expertise is leaned on when chaos calls. 2. Keep a 'me' journal to track your wins, look back at it often to remind yourself of the impact you made. 3. While there is no "I" in Teams, there is an "m" and an "e" and sometimes taking care of "me" helps to fuel the collective teamwork energy to make the dream work.
