Are you having trouble focusing on what matters to you, try making it your password to affirm it every time you log into your you computer. (Of course, you would have to turn off "save password" and actually type it.) Here are some examples: - Spirit, essence, north star --> FamilyMatters2me! - When you have a words of the year --> Balance2023 - Goal, launch WorkDay (software) on date --> WDGoLive010824 - Goal, run Disney Marathon --> RunDisney010724! - Affirmations, like "I am a badass" --> IAABA23! (It can be a word or type the first letter of a sentence like the one above.)

It will likely come across as controversial, but the way that you argue for or against doing something, especially in the IT helpdesk, is explaining how doing something, or not doing something will benefit your skills as an individual, or benefit your company in terms of productivity. You can say yes to two things, 1 is saying yes to something that’s time out of your workday and 2 is saying yes to something that’s time out of your workday and money from the company. To simplify it, let’s say 1 is Time and 2 is Time and Money. Saying yes for 1, Time, requires that whatever activity you are trying to do during the workday, aside from your normal duties, either increases your skills in your current position, or will benefit the company. Two examples would be an IT project that adjacent to your current duties, or a cultural group/employee activity group. Both of those would either benefit the company, by helping you learn new skills or being a more engaged/happier employee, respectfully. Saying yes for 2, Time and Money, requires that whatever activity you are doing, that involves money is a worthwhile investment for the company, such as an IT conference, or, more focused, an IT conference for your specific industry. To be fair each company, and each industry can have wildly different ideas of what they will allow and won’t allow for both Time and Time and Money requests. This could be a very gray area, so it’s best to check with your supervisor on the specifics for your company and your department.

A topic that’s close to every developer's heart (and calendar) - planning a workday for maximum efficiency. Let’s face it, we’ve all had those days where we feel like keyboard ninjas, conquering lines of code and squashing bugs left and right. And then there are those days where it feels like we're stuck in a loop of unproductivity. #efficiency #pomodorotechnique #productivity #timeblocking #todolist https://lnkd.in/gSNgqAQA

Struggling to disconnect after a busy workday? Steal my 10-min shutdown routine: (#5 delivers immense satisfaction) 1. Review tomorrow's calendar and make any necessary adjustments. [2 mins]     2. Determine the one most important task for tomorrow. [1 min]     3. Do a brain dump of any lingering thoughts. [3 mins]     4. Reflect on key decisions or crucial conversations you had. [3 mins]     5. Jot down one thing you are grateful for. [1 min] What would you add? 🔁 REPOSTING this means a lot to me (and others)

To be more prepared, it's critical to evaluate your plans for tomorrow and think back on your accomplishments from today.
