365 Exciting Ways to Live: Excitement # 23: Develop an Eye for Details!

Develop an Eye for Details

It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make big things to happen.

– John Wooden

Developing an eye for details is an important quality. Great people have this. This is a mindset and attitude, which will enhance the quality of our work.

Going into the details is a left brain function. Getting an overall perspective is a right brain function. We need both to succeed in life. There are ways to enhance our ability to improve our eye for details. 
Here is an exercise which you can do to develop an eye for details.
Take any object and look at it for two to three minutes and set it aside. Recall what all you noticed in that object. Now, take the same object again and carefully look at the same object this time going into even more details. Improve the quality of your focus; imagine that there is nothing else existing in the world other than the object. Write down more information about the object. You will be surprised to notice what all you missed! Repeat this exercise as many times as possible.

Notice what happens to your ability to go into details!
