Been doing some detail oriented work recently, and am finding lots of unusual mistakes. Stuff that I’m not seeing when in the moment I compare what I’ve done to the brief. Is it a case of myopic tunnel vision where I see what I think it should be, because of my intent to do it correctly, or is the ole brain misfiring as I miss these details even after a lengthy review? Am I rushing, absent minded, or is this a new post Covid symptom I need to keep an eye on? Challenging to say the least.
Perhaps I need to lay off the work, and come back to it for soft proofing to catch these errors. Seems like I need to add some new steps into my process to catch this stuff, and not further embarrass my self. Some food for thought. Atleast I’m not driving distracted, as of yet. A good sign of covid induced brain damage. Or I need to slow down, and go through my work letter by letter as opposed to word by word. Time to reset the proofing stage I guess. Happy Monday everybody!
