New Year - Don't forget your work resolutions
Each year, everyone makes the same New Year's resolutions: lose weight, exercise, clean the house more often. The list can go on and on.
If you are tired of making the same old tried and true resolutions, take a new approach this year and try to make your resolutions apply to work. Here are my top New Year's resolutions for the workplace:
- Be more organized. Start small and then grow into a well-organized machine. Maybe now is the time to create folders for old emails, or develop a filing system.
- Conduct better meetings. Find one pet peeve that makes meetings inefficient, and work on correcting it.
- Be a better colleague. This is an easy one that everyone could use some room for improvement.
- Take your vacation. It's becoming harder and harder, but this year plan ahead and make time for yourself away from the office.
- Turn off the cell phone, blackberry and lap top. This one goes hand and hand with vacation. Technology is great, but you have to shut down so you don't burn out.
Happy New Year!
