Hi guys. It is @ClDvor again. Today's article is basically on how to change the way you work. There are different ways to approach situations whenever they occur to you but the important question is: what is the outcome??
How are you managing your work? What do you focus on? Are you overly anxious? Way too stressed out? Or just in need of a little more mindfulness?
I’m here to tell you that a bracing dose of self-awareness could be just the trick. To that end, I’ve culled together powerful ideas that will help you tame your stress levels, persevere through uncertainty, boost your creativity, and get more of the right things done with a smile on your face.
Track and appreciate every small step of progress you make.
Yes. @Read.Cash thought me this.It’s in our DNA to want our hard work to matter… to know that our efforts made a difference.
It’s why, believe it or not, janitors at hospitals have fairly high job satisfaction ratings.When they walk into a dirty room they know what they need to do, how it should look when they leave, and the positive impact their work will have on others who use the room. Then as they leave, they look around and feel a strong sense of accomplishment.
Your progress might not be as easy to see, but the more you appreciate your hard work, the more productive you will become.
Try looking at what you’ve been able to accomplish at the end of each day, and be aware that acknowledging even the smallest wins is very important. Keep notes and write down at least one thing you made progress on each day and why it mattered. Do this consistently for 30 days and watch how it affects your happiness and productive output.
Also, consider adding mini celebrations to your routines. Too often you probably finish a task and then just move on to the next thing. I catch myself doing this all the time. I might have just written a very intricate email that required a lot of thinking and planning, but the moment I send it off, I’m already moving on to the next thing.
Next time you catch yourself doing this, take a quick moment and celebrate your hard work. I try to make my celebrations fun, energizing and healthy. Here are five simple ways you can celebrate after some hard work on a project.
Listen to your favorite song.
Take a short walk and appreciate the fresh air.
Call a good friend or colleague and tell them about a particular accomplishment.
Eat a small piece of dark chocolate.
Write a couple lines in your gratitude journal.
Simple celebrations like these keep you feeling positive and you would grow motivations for the next task ahead. @ClDvor.
Find meaning in your tasks and projects.
Here in this case, in your articles. Each task you set out to do can either add to or subtract from your happiness. It can be something that helps you build a better career or something that annoys you. Each task has a purpose – even the smallest ones. If you feel like they really don’t have a purpose that’s meaningful to you, it’s time to find a way to stop doing it or get someone else to do it for you.
Not all tasks were created equal, so look for ways that your tasks and projects are helping you accomplish your bigger goals. If you are asked to stuff thousands of marketing bags with corporate flyers, like I was asked to do at one point in my career, then understand the “why” behind it.
Why are you choosing to accept this task? It could be as simple as your boss asked you to do it and you want to keep earning your paycheck to feed your family, or something more subjective like you are doing it because you hope, believe, or know that it will make future customers happy. When you can visualize the reaction that your hard work will have on others, it’s easier to stay motivated.
Bottom line: By finding meaning in your tasks, you’ll do a better job and usually enjoy each task a lot more.
Finally, seek out ways to deliver a smile and ask for help the minute you need it.
