Using Goals to Increase Production

Sapphire and the Atlantians
Having Goals Makes Us More Productive
Most who have followed me for years, know how much I love to present workshops.  However, those who know me very well, know that I love writing even more.  So, when I was wasting time doing puzzles during the pandemic sheltering-in-place, I decided this next year I will return to what I love.  Here it is, my New Year's goal.  
My New Year’s goal is to devote at least three hours each day to writing. Within the first few days of the new year, I've rewritten 40 articles and two chapters of a new children’s mystery book.  
By the end of the year, my goal is to spend at least five hours each day writing. To stay on track, I'll critique my schedule on the first day of each month. 
What is your short and long-term goal this year?

Is a bottle of liquor a good holiday gift for a boss?

  Dear Rebecca , Is a bottle of liquor a good holiday gift for a boss? Sincerely, Liquor in the workplace. Dear Liquor in the Workplace, Most places of business frown on alcohol.  Your gift may be viewed in negatively.

Internships Can Lead You to Your Dream Job

What are the advantages and benefits of an internship? As your coworkers and supervisors evaluate you and your work habits, you are best able to evaluate how it would be to work in that business and for that particular company full time.   The internship also provides an opportunity to develop a work ethic and polish your people skills.
