The gifts have been unwrapped. The champagne has been drained, and vacation season is over. It’s back to the grind of work, and there’s a whole year ahead of us. Instead of feeling uninspired and bummed about the long stretch before the next holiday season, take some time to refocus your energy at the office. The best way to do this is to set small, accomplishable work goals. For instance, someone who takes on too much responsibility might focus on delegating successfully in the coming year. An employee who is shy in meetings might try to speak out more. Someone who is opinionated might try to be a bit more subdued. Setting these goals is a way to stay engaged and active at work. From there take an annual career physical. Ask yourself: do I get paid enough? Does my work challenge me? Am I learning and contributing? If most of the answers aren’t yes, it might be time to look for a new job. If that’s the case, assess the job possibilities in your area and get to know key players locally in your profession. Looking for a new position might be just what you need. If you don’t need a major career overhaul, look around you. It might sound simple, but one thing that drains employees is a messy desk and office. A cluttered desk will keep your mind cluttered too. 【題組】39 What is the author’s suggestion for people who like to express very strong opinions about things?
