Let’s Do Some Spring Cleaning

The sun is shining. The birds are chirping. Our days are longer now that we have lost an hour. Let’s talk about spring cleaning! Here are a few spring-cleaning tips to help your office and life flow better.

Spruce up your work area:

Add a small vision board to remind you of any short-term goals you are looking to achieve. Why wait for the New Year to make plans? Spring into those new visions starting with the new season.

Productivity is a must:

Take a 15 minute break throughout the work day.  This rejuvenation will enable you to complete your tasks more accurately, which will lead to fewer errors and increased productivity – win-win! 

Rearrange your desk:

Try something new. Add a new desk set and/or pictures. Perhaps a small arrangement of fresh flowers. Give yourself something fresh and new to look forward to as you work.

Inspirational thoughts and quotes:

Start this new season or even each week with a new inspirational quote. These are great items to spring into your workload. You could even invest in a motivational calendar to stay on track with your goals.

Navigate and pace yourself:

Take a moment to reschedule and reorganize your workload to ensure that you are getting the most out of your workday.

Growth:

Attempt to learn something new every day.

 

 

 

Challenge yourself to try something new:

Develop a special skill or talent. Now is a good time to look into a hobby of some sort.

Lose unproductive work habits:

Focus on the great things you do.

Encouraging words make a difference:

If someone feels inadequate, encourage him or her.

Acknowledge others’ abilities and efforts.

Never allow yourself to become bored with a project:

Sometimes it is better to walk away than BURN OUT.

Invest in yourself.

New day every day:

Remember it will start over and there will be a chance to do it again.

Gradually organize:

Nothing happens overnight. Start off small and work your way to the larger projects.
