To be self employed or to work from home, you must have a strong sense of discipline. And it will also help if you structure your day both so you can accomplish your projects AND advance your professional skills. How do you do it? According to J.T. O’Donnell there are 10 things you should do every day at work,
1. Read something related to my industry.
2. Read something related to business development.
3. Send two emails to touch base with old colleagues.
4. Empty my private client inbox by responding to all career coaching questions within one business day.
5. Check in with each team member on their progress.
6. Have a short non-work related conversation with every employee.
7. Review my top three goals for my company that are focused on its growth.
8. Identify and execute one task to support each of my top three goals.
9. Post five valuable pieces of content on all my major social media accounts.
10. Take a full minute to appreciate what I have and how far I’ve come.
I really like item #1 – reading something every day related to your industry. This is a great way to stay on the cutting edge of your career! What do you do during your work day?
