Learn how to notice details as well as James Carrey does.<\/p>\n<p>Details are what turn a good day into a great day. Details make the difference b\/w a so-so job and an excellent one. Details save us from embarrassment or can make us look silly. Details are what separate the amateur from the professional. If you want to be able to notice details, learn to be detail oriented.<\/p>\n<p>Being detail oriented is about the little things. It&#8217;s about taking the time to find out what it takes to do a job right. It&#8217;s about not accepting the easy answer. It&#8217;s about giving each task your full attention and making sure you&#8217;ve done everything in your power to make it happen.<\/p>\n<p>TIP: List all the steps you take or might take in order to achieve a goal. Do this for several tasks that are relevant to your job, life or chosen profession and then review them. Are there any steps missing? If so, what else could you do to ensure success? What other approaches could you try? How can you better prepare yourself for future projects? Does this help you work smarter or harder?<\/p>\n<p>Asking these types of questions will help you think through your role in completing a project and as a result, better challenge yourself when working on tasks and projects. By doing this, you will ensure that you have done everything possible to ensure success. This is an important part of being detail oriented because it shows that you are willing to commit yourself fully towards a goal and that you are doing everything possible in order for it to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>To be detail oriented is essential for success because it helps with the ability to be thorough and accurate, which any employer<\/p>\n<p>Being detail oriented can be a challenging skill to master. When you concentrate on the importance of details, you tend to miss the bigger picture. When this happens, it&#8217;s helpful to step back and gain a better perspective.<\/p>\n<p>Trying to accomplish too much at one time is a sure fire way to get overwhelmed. It&#8217;s important to set goals that are reasonable for your skill level and give yourself frequent breaks.<\/p>\n<p>Examine your work from an outsider&#8217;s point of view and make adjustments as needed. When you&#8217;re feeling overwhelmed, make a list of things you&#8217;ve already accomplished so you can appreciate what you have done. Remind yourself that details are important, but don&#8217;t allow them to sidetrack your journey.<\/p>\n<p>You should celebrate every success and balance out the failure with a new goal to strive towards**<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re young, you have a lot of energy. You feel like you can accomplish anything. But if you don&#8217;t focus that energy, it&#8217;ll go to waste. That&#8217;s why the ability to be detail-oriented is so important.<\/p>\n<p>Detail-oriented people think about how they do things and constantly search for ways to improve on their process. They&#8217;re always thinking about what could be better, and they take steps to make sure their work lives up to the standards they set for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Think of it this way: being detail-oriented is being obsessive over the details of everything you do, whether it&#8217;s your job or an art project or a piece of furniture you&#8217;re building in your spare time. When someone sees your work, they think, &#8220;Wow! Look at all the effort that went into this!&#8221; Detail-oriented people obsess over the details until anyone would notice them. And then they obsess over them some more.<\/p>\n<p>The details are what create the impression of real life in a drawing. The details are what give it life and make it seem like you actually care about the scene and not just putting lines down on a piece of paper.<\/p>\n<p>The time you take to add the little bits of detail is well worth it and will make your drawings look better.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions about anything I&#8217;ve written on this blog or would just like to share some of your art or thoughts please feel free to email me at jimcarreyart@gmail.com<\/p>\n<p>We can all think of a time when we were in the middle of doing something and someone interrupted us or called for our attention. We were about to finish a task, but then we were forced to stop and do something else. This is frustrating and annoying, especially if it happens often or for trivial things.<\/p>\n<p>What many people don&#8217;t realize is that this feeling of being interrupted is not just a response to a particular incident, but a deep-seated reaction that has its roots in how the brain works. The part of the brain that is responsible for processing outside stimuli is separate from the part of the brain responsible for completing tasks. The next time you feel like someone has interrupted you while you are trying to focus on one thing, instead of getting annoyed you should recognize that this feeling comes naturally and it&#8217;s not personal.<\/p>\n<p>This might be hard to accept if you have a lot of outside distractions or really enjoy multitasking, but there are ways you can learn to control your reactions even if your work environment is chaotic. You can train yourself to ignore external distractions and stay focused by implementing some of these strategies:<\/p>\n<p>1. Create an environment that will help keep your mind on track.
