- Look for professional development opportunities.
2018 is the year to go out and try new things, especially when it comes to learning about what’s happening in your industry.
Look for conferences or gatherings of professionals like you so that you can build your network and get to know the people in your industry. You can also work on joining communities of people in your line of work and engaging in messaging boards or LinkedIn groups. Making connections doesn’t have to be terrifying. - Bring your best self to work.
We bring a lot with us to our jobs, mentally and physically. Think in terms of our technology—like our smartphones, iPads, laptops, and other devices—but also in terms of our homelife stresses.
Try to resolve to bring your best self to work, the self that’s well rested, exercised, and mentally alert. - Be less distracted.
Our phones and inboxes can bring a lot of distractions to our headspace. Protect yourself by putting your phone on silent or vibrate or DND (do not disturb) mode so that you can stay focused.
Our phones are also really smart nowadays and can determine whether to send an alert if there’s an emergency. Look into these settings to program your phone for what would constitute an emergency (two calls in a row, for example, or a series of texts).
