# 4 - SYSTEM improvement - Be Systematic

No System = CHAOS

Yesterday I told myself to improve an aspect of my work. So today I worked very hard to find one aspect of my work which can be improved. I did find an area of improvement and I did it, i.e learn from defeat = learn from competitor who wins.

That was a good improvement, I don't deny it. It deserves a separate posting by itself, so I will post it another time.

However, for the 15th of July, my most important achievement was for me to accept that I NEED A SYSTEM to record these improvements of mine. I should have a system of recognising problems, not just making improvement for the sake of making an improvement.

First of all, I separate my areas of improvement into 2 MAIN AREAS :
i) WORK area
ii) PERSONAL area

By doing this categorisation, my improvement initiatives will be more structured, hence can be presented in a more meaningful way.

Then each category will be further divided into sub-groups so that each area of improvement will be covered comprehensively (i.e. Total Improvement)
