| In bullet points because I have almost the same problem.
Here is what helped me: 1. talking with my manager more We have perf reviews every 3 months, and the review has 1-2 month delay. I recieved in spring a report that my perf in winter was mediocre. And then I recieved in summer that my perf in spring is worse. And I didn't think it detiorated, so I came to him and asked "Hey, how did it get worse past quarter, because I thought I am getting better at this." And he told me about concrete project that he thought shold have taken a week or two and took month. And that after I finally finished it, the rest of my work-pace this quarter looks better. 2. identify the problem with your manager For me it was, that I am able to get stuck on a task for a several just reading all the error logs without asking others for help. I know that some other team-mates had similar problem, so we introduced daily standups and more over I do my best to track whether I am trying to get unstuck more than one hour and if so, ask around for help. 3. I kinda embraced it Everybody on the team knows that I am the one with wife and a kind that gets stuck on his work often :-) So, on meetings I allways ask after I have new task "Who should I bug if I get stuck?" and they know, that I am at work at 8 am sharp, but hell or high water at 5 pm I am already playing at home with my 1y old :-) So, just talk about this with your manager. And try to fix your biggest pain points (like I try to to with me getting stuck :) |
