Fierce Tip of the Week: Change Your Routine

July is National Anti-Boredom Month. With summer activities, festivals, and vacations, it is hard to imagine July as a boring time.However, with many distractions outside of work, it can make your responsibilities feel quite dull.So I ask: Are you bored in your role this summer? Do you find yourself in auto-pilot? Do you want your one week vacation to be all month?If you answered yes to any of those questions, look in the mirror. You are the person accountable for that. No one else. So, what are you going to do about it?It won’t be fixed overnight. But you can start now, and gradually it will shift.This week’s tip is to change your routine, so you can feel more energized about your responsibilities. Take a different bus. Work from a coffee shop for a morning if you can. Go to lunch with a new client or employee. Attend a networking event. Talk with someone new from a different department. There are so many options – just pick one.Last week, I worked a couple days from a lake in Idaho. It is a happy place for me. I was able to focus, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and get a lot of work done. The change of environment made me so excited to tackle the big projects I had in front of me. And now, I am back in the office refreshed.How are you going to switch your routine? What has worked for you?
