Choose A Positive Attitude

From Joan Burge’s new book, Joan’s Greatest Administrative Secrets Revealed (2018)

I HAVE BEEN SPEAKING on attitude since 1990. What I said in 1990 still holds true today. You have a choice when it comes to your attitude. You are not a victim of your circumstances.

Cleanup and Organize Your Workspace

Summer is a great time to do a little cleanup and organize your workspace. Business is usually a little quieter, employees take a vacation, and there seems to be a more relaxed work atmosphere. It is the perfect time for you to get organized before the craziness of business sets in this fall.

Clean desks look smart, professional and, well, just organized. Messy desks are an eyesore and can lead to lower productivity. [Read more…]

Staying Energized Throughout The Week

As you know, I usually share tips on combating the Monday-morning “blahs,” especially after a nice, relaxing weekend. I recently met someone who says she has a different problem: “Monday, I am refreshed from the weekend and ready to tackle just about anything,” she explains. “But by Friday, I am usually struggling to finish what I started.
