Would it surprise you to know I have many? I even have a little notebook on my home desk to write down my words of wisdom 😉
Here are some of my work mantras:
💛 You can do anything for 15 mins (works for any task you’ve been procrastinating!) – @the_flylady
💛 Delete emails with abandon – the “filler”, stuff you’re copied on that you don’t need and things you’ve responded to. I wonder if Microsoft Viva can tell me how many emails I delete in a day or week 🤷🏻♀️
💛 What is the most important thing to do right now? (Hint – it’s almost never the same thing other people want you to do)
💛 Do the right thing always. Your integrity will speak for itself.
💛 Stay present and in the moment (turn off WiFi on your phone for your deep work sessions; if you’re in a meeting, close Outlook, focus and pay attention). You will work faster and be way more productive (the joy of monotasking) and… people like to feel like they’re listened to.
💛 Outer order, inner calm. If you’re like 60% of the population and you’re feeling frazzled and overwhelmed, tidy your desk.
💛 Work is all about relationships. I ran a Four Tendencies session for work colleagues last night and I started by saying… “this session can help that work relationship you battle with”. Everyone laughed because it’s true.
