Hello ..
This is the first week of 2016...
and you are probably feeling a little depressed in going to work - whether on the farm, in the office, on the road, or at home... yes, the holidays are over and it is time to get back to work.
I don't know if it has ever hit you:
Work is sacred...
Work is God's provision...
Work is a way of making the world better...
for yourself and others to prosper, and
for you to understand that God wants to involve you.
So, do recognise that there is a higher purpose to work - it benefits not just us but others as well.
I hope you will have been refreshed during the holidays and with an enthusiasm to go back work. Like many of you, I went back to work this week.
Make a List of Key Projects for 2016
One of the main tasks I did this week was to list out all the key projects I need to do for the year. I'll then make appointments to talk to the relevant people on the implementation plans and follow up actions for this task.
Then it is important to put in timelines to track progress and completion. This may sound rather routine and mundane but this is essential and will help set the work programme for the year.
I am excited about the new projects I am working on this year. It may start slow but I will make sure I see it through. No doubt there will be obstacles, challenges and mistakes. But such is the reality of life and we learn along the way.
3 Tips on Overcoming the Back to Work Blues
1) Start with a clean uncluttered table.
Nothing is quite as depressing as coming back to work on Monday only to find yourself sitting behind a messy desk, with piles of untouched work stacked miles high. To help beat those back-to-work blues, be sure to get organized.
2) Start a project.
Get started on a project. Involve people who are enthusiastic and you will get the encouragement and motivation to continue and see it to the end.
3) Plan your next vacation
Many of us experience a high on vacation. Whether it’s from all the adventure or the relaxation, vacations often bring sensations that our daily jobs do not. The best way to overcome those feelings of loss when you're trying to beat the back to work blues is to get right back to planning another vacation. Even if you’re just considering a short weekend getaway, you need something to look forward to.
In fact, I've started planning for a vacation to Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe in March 2016. See it in my travel blog.
Happy working ....
