Cleanup and Organize Your Workspace

how_to_get_organized

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. I’m pooped!”

That’s an interesting twist on the same theme and a challenge that some of you probably face as well. So this week, let’s look at a few effective ways to replenish your energy during the week:

Life Reframed

Monday_Motivators_Home

As we come upon Memorial Weekend, I thought I would share something very personal and deep with you but with a happy ending.

 

For 10 years, I have not enjoyed Memorial Weekend. Why is that when throughout my life I always enjoyed every holiday? It was because ten years ago, on Memorial Weekend I was in the emergency room with my husband David who was very sick. We did not find out until 4 months later that David had pancreatic cancer. He fought a good fight for 3 years but it was on another Memorial weekend when Dave was taken to an emergency room because the cancer came back with a vengeance. That was to be Dave’s last Memorial Weekend on this earth. Even though I have been with family and friends on Memorial Day, I never really enjoyed myself. [Read more…]

Dreams Do Come True

Dreams do come true and I am so excited this week that I can hardly contain myself. This week I am living a dream that I had about 20 years ago!

Make a Connection with Vacation

Connection with vacation

A few years ago I was out of the office for 12 days! The first 3 days, I had business in Cincinnati.  I then went from Cincinnati to Ft. Myers, Florida to join my 86-year old (active) father and my stepmom for a 9-day vacation.  This was a long-awaited and much-needed vacation and thank goodness for my Dad and Liz who are fun!  We did everything from just chilling out on the beach to sightseeing, shopping, eating and more eating, laughing and reminiscing.

I tried my best to not be tethered to my phone, emails, texting and more.  It really is important to take a vacation when you are on vacation. Many of you may have already taken your spring break or might just be getting ready to go on vacation so I’d like to provide some tips either way. [Read more…]
