Work smarter not harder.

If there is a particular category of task that your errors fall into, try to change the way you do that task. Here are some thoughts:

- can you make a checklist for the stage you keep messing up?
- can you do part of your work in a different environment?
- can you do anything to change your focus (I find listening to my iPod helps me cut out office chatter when I need to get on).

Be open and honest with your colleagues about your fears, and ask line management for help - if people see that you geniunely WANT to improve you will find it much easier to solicit ideas from within the organisation.

Just remember, it is imposible to make things better by checking them - all you can do is send back the bad ones. Taking an extra 5% of time to do the job better is more time effective than sending back 1/20 to be re-done.
