You've done a good job lately. Yes, you have. Haven't you? Be honest: You have, so stop pushing. You've gathered a whole heck of a lot of momentum, and you can let yourself coast for a bit now. Not only can you, but you should. It will save gas for later on when you might need an...
One surefire way to make sure that you have money later when you need it is to save more of it today. This seems simple and logical, but logic can fly out the window when you see a new gadget you desperately want. Start a new habit today and resist the allure of temptation. Whether it's a toy,...
You spend the morning holding your tongue and making happen what you want to happen. In the afternoon, you'll already see that the proverbial ball is rolling. That's exactly what you were aiming for. Don't be surprised if you land a strike or two. You've been training,...
If you've been worrying an emotional issue for a while now, this could be the day when things clear up. Sometimes it's a sudden insight ("it isn't that they don't like me; it's my insecurity") that makes everything so much easier to see. Sometimes it's harder to pin...
If there's somebody you've been meaning to check in with, this is a good time to do it. Say hello, touch base, let them know you care, find out how they are. In the afternoon, you can devote yourself to the task of putting your ideas out there. It takes a lot of hard work and...
You've got something up your sleeve this morning. Is it a plan to ask the boss to give you a raise or transfer you to a different department? Is it a new approach to an old system? Is it a plan for a surprise party for a coworker? Whatever it is, you've prepared and done all the legwork...
You may not think details are the most exciting things, but they're very important to maintaining one of your closest relationships. Perhaps you forgot someone's anniversary or neglected to congratulate someone on winning an award or finishing a big project. Noticing such things and...
Someone might be overly critical of you, but don't get upset or defensive about it. Listen carefully to what they have to say. There is some value in their comments. Your reputation important, and if they have valid ideas about how to help you, take heed. Put any hurt feelings aside and pay...
Early in the day, you concentrate on the little things. Is the report spellchecked? Are the numbers right? Does the copy machine have enough toner? Later, in the afternoon, you take the report public. It's checked and checked again, it's printed out, it's copied, it's bound, and...
Spend your morning dealing with a few of the problems other people ask you to help them solve. Yes, you can really help, but don't stress yourself out too much (after all, these aren't your problems; you didn't create them, and ultimately you can't fix them). Then spend the...
You're a natural leader, so it isn't surprising that people turn to you when they don't know what direction to take. But before you spring into action, take a step back. You might not have all the information yet, and this might not be a battle worth championing. If it isn't,...
You aren't afraid to step out into the spotlight if you think it will help you get your message across. You may not be a natural performer; certainly, you have a shyness that folks born for the stage usually don't. But your willingness to be vulnerable gives you a public presence that...
