From Readers Digest:
1. Think small. Each year in the United States, some 7,000 people die from medication errors - and many of them are made because of doctors' sloppy handwriting. Little things do mean a lot.
2. Slow down. Multitasking can cause our error rate to go up, as our attention becomes divided. It makes sense to slow down and do things one at a time. The slower approach may actually be more efficient in the long run.
3. Get more sleep. Sleepy people make more mistakes, and there are staggering numbers of sleep-deprived people out there.
4. Put off decisions until you're in a better mood. Good feelings increase the tendency to combine material in new ways and see relatedness between things. Happy people tend to be more creative and less prone to errors.
