How to boost your career in 30 minutes

A new year brings 365 days of new prospects and opportunities, and what better time is there to boost your career. Boosting your career can be done in as little as 30 minutes, simply by focusing your mind on the day ahead, taking a little time for yourself or getting the easy tasks out of the way first.

Start the day with success

You always feel better knowing that you’ve achieved something. Why not start the day off doing something you know you’re good at as that feel good feeling will last all day. You can boost your career by doing the tasks you’ll know you’ll get done quickly, this way you can spend more time on the stuff that takes longer.

Get into the calm zone

Whilst the morning commute may have you feeling far from calm, try and allocate a bit of time before work to reach that calm zen like feeling. You could read a book that calms you or even practice zen techniques like breathing deeply whilst counting to ten. Alternatively if you have the room why not try yoga or Pilates. By being more calm at work you will boost your career as more people will want to work with you.

Don’t hide behind email

The best way to converse with your team is face to face. Why not arrange a morning huddle every day to catch up on tasks, allocate out everyone’s work and break down any issues that may have arisen. If you can’t together face to face, Zoom is a great alternative.

Broaden your horizons

Your mind can easily wander if you let it. To broaden your horizons and learn things you probably wouldn’t otherwise why not listen to audio books about positive thinking or how to increase your confidence. This will help you boost your career as it will give you the confidence to tackle new things.

Tick off that to-do list

Nothing is more satisfying than ticking off tasks on your to-do list. Why not download an app that will list all of your tasks; it will show you what’s planned for the day and prepare you to take on the challenges ahead. It will also give you a friendly reminder before the task comes up. Why not try Todoist which you can use across your phone, tablet and laptop.
