Prepare your Environment then Focus on High Priority Tasks

Once you become conscious that you aren’t productive in the field you consider your priority, what you have to do is to ask yourself: can I do something to change or improve this situation? You must be aware that there are obstacles that aren’t in your power but mostly your productivity depends on you. After you realized that, the next is to ask yourself: what can I do to improve my effectiveness? If you do a search on Google.com you’ll find a lot of ideas about how to improve your productivity.

Here you have two essential steps you must consider if you want to be effective and efficient:

Prepare your Environment/Workspace

All the tasks we have to work on must be done in a certain place. Usually these places are arranged as workspaces with almost all you need to finish your tasks. But even so you have to tailor your workspace for work. The most important thing to do for a proper environment is to remove all potential distractions. Another important thing is to clean up and keep a clean environment (a clean desk and desktop). Make sure the temperature is proper.

Focus on High Priority Tasks

Usually when we start our daily work we tend to begin with the simple and low priority tasks. We do this because we think in this way we’ll clean and simplify our work. But this is a trap. If we begin with these low priority tasks our peak time and energy is spent on something insignificant. Then they tend to multiply because they are many and send us from one to another in a vicious chain. In this way we often find ourselves too tired and too distracted to work efficiently on our high priority tasks.

So the best way to begin your daily work is to make an ABC list of priorities (A – very important and urgent, B – important but not urgent, C – less important) and start with A priorities. Stick with A priorities until you finish them all and don’t let C tasks lure you.

10 Scientific findings ways to make others Happiness

Have we become self obsessed? Has it become all about our happiness? I don't think so. The most rewarding thing, even today, is to see someone you care about happy. Here are ten ways how one can contribute to increase the happiness of the world around.

10. Appreciate people. Make each day special for them. All it takes is for you to compliment their new hairstyle, that day’s attire or just their pretty smile. Yes, everyone has a pretty smile.

9. Crack a joke in the middle of a tense situation. Easing an uptight situation can be the biggest support one can show to others.

8. Be a good listener. Let people complete their conversation. Speech maybe silver, but silence is golden.

7. Do not keep others waiting. Acknowledge the person's value. Just being on time for a meeting, get together, party or dinner can make someone’s day. On the contrary, the failure to do so can break someone’s enthusiasm towards the following event.

6. Use the 3 magic words - Please, Sorry and Thank you - these are capable of metamorphosing any difficult situation.

5. Be the ice-breaker. Be it between common friends or your own friend and yourself. The problem understood is the equivalent to the problem solved.

4. Give a big teddy hug to people who deserve it and the people who need it. You will be surprised by the kind of wound a hug can heal.

3. Go out of your way to help others. Reach out a little from your comfort zone, and you might just be helping someone find his/her meaning in life.

2. Be generous with your praise. If they've done well, be quick to give them a pat on the back, so that they will know what they have done right! Besides, it will definitely lift their spirits, even at work!

1. Keep yourself happy. Enjoy life and smile often. If you look closely, there’s a lot to smile about in life. So smile, and then you can spread the joy. Hooked

10 Steps to get a Great Reference for your Next Job

February 16, 2008

Dear Members,

Today I would like share about the Great Reference for your Next Job; See below the steps;

10 Steps to get a Great Reference for your Next Job

Employers check references because they need a second opinion on their potential hire. Everyone should have references. But how do you get a great reference that will outshine the others? Here is a simple 10 Step tutorial to get consistent and presentable references from your previous colleagues.

1. Find a suitable referee. They are generally people whom have work with you in a professional capacity. Examples can include direct manager, peers or clients.
2. Arrange for a meeting or phone conversation with your referee. Review questions that may be asked
3. Tell your referee about the kind of job you are seeking. Ask if he is comfortable recommending you for such a position. Give hi a copy of your resume, clarify your accomplishments and answer questions he may have
4. Suggest to our referee that you would appreciate strong recommendations in the key areas and traits mentioned above
5. Ask the referee what he thinks about your weaknesses or developmental areas, for example:” May I ask you what you think my developmental needs are, so that you and I are consistent?”
6. With former bosses, clarify reasons for leaving. Tell them what you are saying and ask if they are comfortable saying that as wel. You are not asking your referee to lie. You merely need a congruent story as reasons for leaving may be vague at times
7. Write a summary so your referee can refer to it. The summary should consist of key points raised during your conversation and the traits and strengths, developmental needs and reasons for leaving
8. Tell your referee who will be getting in touch with him so he is not surpired when the call comes. Even better, schedule the call yourself if possible
9. Gain your referee’s commitment to call you if anyone contacts him.
10. Keep your referee posted on your job search.
