I am terrible at noticing details, missing them while writing a report, making spreadsheets, and writing an email. Basically, I will miss some part of the information I am aware of but I just completely forget to add it and after sending it I notice that I have forgotten something.
I have had to very high price for this in the past from losing clients to getting fired from my last job. My present job requires me to pay close attention to detail and I am worried I might lose this job as well.
Solutions I have tried : Use online writing helpers such as Grammarly ( where I wrote this post) Reviewing a few times before sending anything (I can catch about 30-40% of my errors but there is still 60-70% errors) Biggest Pain point:
Formatting excels, messing up variable names while writing code/query.
I am looking for advice that can make my life a little easier.
P.S. Please forgive me if I have inadvertently eaten up some words. I happy to give clarifications.
I have a line in my email signature that says I'm dyslexic, so excusing my mistakes would be appreciated, and I always tell people I work with that I'm dyslexic so they can have my back and double check stuff for me. My ideas are usually fantastic, better than most people around me, and my execution is usually very strong, but don't expect correct emails from me (pick up the phone), this can lead people to believe I'm not detail oriented, I am, I get the details right, just the communication part can be difficult.
