I’m a list person. I love the feeling of crossing things off. It makes me feel productive. You don’t wait to do the work until you get the dream job - you do the work in order to get the dream job.
It’s the list of ten things I try to do every workday. Yes, there are days when I don’t get them all done, but I do my best to deliver. It has proven very effective for me. They are:
- Read something related to your industry.
- Read something related to business development.
- Send two emails to touch base with old colleagues.
- Empty private + client inbox by responding to within one business day.
- Check in with each team member on their progress.
- Have a short non-work related conversation with every co workers.
- Review top three goals for your job and life that are focused on its growth.
- Identify and execute one task to support each of my top three goals.
- Post five valuable pieces of content on all my major social media accounts.
- Take a full minute to appreciate what I have and how far I’ve come.
This list could be longer. BUT...
If it was longer, I wouldn’t be as good at getting them all done. This list is manageable to me. Of course, I do more than these ten things every day. But, these are the ten I choose to do with consistency. Why? Over the years, they’ve proven the best way for me to grow my career. The collective results have made completing these tasks consistently; even when I don’t feel like it, well worth it.
