One activity to do during self isolation: a skills audit

We are in strange times these days with self isolation being the norm (although when I have gone out on occasion, I see a lot of people out and about which makes me wonder).

Being at home means that you can do a lot of things that you may not have had time or energy for. Working out / exercising. Reading. Cooking. Cleaning out the pantry. Fixing up the garage. Playing board games. Chatting with loved ones.

I have done almost all of the things above. But the one activity that I have been thinking a lot about, and inspired by Jeffrey Gitomer’s live stream in the mornings, is what am I doing during this time so that I will be positioned for success coming out of the self isolation. We all hope that the self isolation period will be over soon, and when it does, will people go back to their same jobs with the same skills and experiences? Or will they come out of it new and improved with a look towards making themselves recession-proof?

The one activity that I am doing during this time that I think will most benefit me is: a skills audit.

Regardless if you are with or without a job, it is critical to conduct a skills audit on a regular basis to make sure that you have the right skills for your goals and dreams moving forward.
