Basically it’s the billing that is problematic, sometimes I cock up the quantities or the ref of the article or the shipping.
I will start to edit the delivery slip and checking it before the bill itself.
But sometimes even re-reading it a couple of times I just miss the same mistake.
For example billing some alloy nipples rather than red ones.
Sorry if I should know this. So you are a bike shop mechanic who struggles with the invoices? Well whatever you do you do the main bit of the job well but the invoicing badly?
I’ll throw out a few thoughts.
Are you dyslexic? Some of the things you’ve said are consistent with dyslexia.
I have a similar problem. Luckily for me its only an annual job. The final totalling of marks for course work to send the exam board.
In the end we have concluded some one else has to do it. So a lab technician enters all the marks to the board for me.
Some not very helpful comments here
Have a word with yourself, stop doing a shit job, take some responsibility, be a grown up, etc
See I don’ think its a lack of care on your part. Accuracy is something people find very hard. My proof reading is totally dire as I just see what I hope I wrote. I can’t fit all the reasons why that is now here but its real not just a lack of care
Is this information going onto a PC?
If so get software to read it back to you. Its slow but can make a huge difference. That’s a tip from a dyslexic fireman
Can you make what you are doing more real to you in some way. Maybe a pile of high lighters of different colours so that each type of information is high lighted in a different colour
Or try and visualise each piece of information. See in your 32 red nipples and actually see the pile in your head. I realised I remembered values well but numbers badly. So for example I can’t remember a pin number like 3 5 2 8. But the value 3,528 is way more memorable. Its just over half way between 3,000 and 4,000 to start with. Or I remember the shape it makes on the keypad
But if its at all possible try negotiating some one to check these jobs or do them for you
