"I am a stickler when it comes to productivity and thwarting task paralysis. So I immediately survey the work that needs to get done and think three moves ahead. I'm not a fan of putting out fires, so I identify any potential fire hazards and preemptively address them before they have a chance to spark. I am strategic in my approach, identify the fastest methods of performing my work while maintaining a high degree of attention to detail, to ensure it is quality output."
