Spin Around and Smile

Monday, July 18th, 2011

* Transcription

Thank God it’s Monday!™ Children up to preschool age are said to laugh 150-300 times daily, while adults laugh only 15 times a day!

Sure, as we grow older we may discover that we are not as innately happy as a toddler, but we can decide to smile. In fact, just doing so has been proven to instill happiness. In the late 80’s for instance, a study was conducted wherein students were asked to make a “u” or an “e” sound and record how they felt. Unsurprisingly, subjects that made the “e” sound reported feeling much happier than their counterparts, because they were smiling as a result.

So smile. Smile right now. Smile at lunch. Spin around in a circle and smile. Feeling better? I thought so. Create a great Monday!

Embrace Change

Monday, July 11th, 2011

* Transcription

Thank God it’s Monday!™ Change is rapid. Change is accelerating exponentially. In fact, it is not too outrageous to assume that today’s jobs will not even exist 10 years from now… and you can’t do a darn thing about it.

No person is guaranteed a job, but you can guarantee your employability. The military strategist Sun Tsu said, “In times of peace, prepare for war, and in times of war, prepare for peace.” You may not love the change. You may not have had anything to do with the change, but at the end of the day, it is your job to make the transition to change, and make you a better you.

Have a great Monday!

The Best of You

Monday, July 4th, 2011

* Transcription

Thank God it’s Monday!™ What is possible for you? Do you have latent talents that you haven’t tapped into yet?

President Kennedy confidently declared, “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills. Because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.”

Declare an impossible vision for yourself, and then watch who you have to become to make it possible. What is possible for you?

Have a great Monday!

Learn to Say No

Monday, June 27th, 2011

* Transcription

Thank God it’s Monday!™ It’s every single day. Someone finds you out of nowhere, and asks you to help them in some way or another. How do you say no?

First, realize that it is completely fine to say no when appropriate. Say a client suggests that you come by their office for a conversation that would ordinarily take 10 minutes. But now with the commute, you’re looking at an hour—maybe an hour and a half. An hour you can’t afford to give up today.

Allow the client to make that decision for you. Perhaps you could conduct this conversation over the webcam. Tell your client that this would eliminate the required charge for out of office consulting.

Or perhaps Chris, from the cubicle next to yours, pokes his head around the corner in hopes that you can help him with a project he’s been assigned to. Make it clear that you appreciate his thinking of you, but that you will not be able to assist him until Tuesday, or whatever it may be.

Commit yourself to the tasks that are the highest and best use of your time. Learn to say no to the rest when appropriate.

Have a great Monday!

Plan Your Work and Work Your Plan

Monday, June 20th, 2011

* Transcription

Thank God it’s Monday!™ Your schedule quickly gets out of hand. And with the inevitable change of plans and complexity of the day, a minute-by-minute schedule is hardly useful.

Here’s a useful idea; plan your next day before leaving the office. Now you have a definitive plan, and you eliminate the need to lie in bed at night running over your various to-dos causing for restless sleep.

You can make plans to accommodate work that you find unmanageable. You can structure your time such that you can work diligently. And through this preparation, your productivity will skyrocket.

Have a great Monday!
