ARE YOU GETTING BETTER?

One of the characteristics of any professional is that they never stop learning.

The fact that you are reading this space which is devoted to learning is a good sign.

However, if your idea of higher learning is to check LO Insights and the CNN bond market report every day, you are on the right track but there is so much more to learn.

Every day you may feel that answering the phone, checking emails and dealing with the day to day issues leaves you no time for leaning except what you learn in your daily dealings. This is known as "seat of the pants" learning and it is not especially professional. 

So try time blocking for just 10 or 15 minutes a day dedicated to furthering your knowledge. Make it a certain time every day such as right after lunch when we are all a little lethargic anyway. The benefits are enormous!
