Five Steps to zing your career

Five steps to zing your career:

a. Take a break:

Not a two-month vacation. Just a break long enough for you to expunge the stains that the years have left on you. Wears and tears are an inevitable occupational hazard of occupation. It takes some time to get rid of all that junk that has accumulated in your head over a period of time.

b. Review:

Indulge in introspection. Think about what you have done so far. List all the mistakes life has led you to make and what you have learned from them. Pledge not to make them again.

c. Focus:

Clear your desk and mind (this should be easy) of all extraneous stuff. Focus on your work. Think about the aspects of your work that you like best and concentrate on them. Try to regain the optimism that bore you through your initial years.

d. Experiment:

Few things are as permanent as change. You may still have to do the same things but you don't have to do them the same way. You could do them differently. It could work wonders in spicing things up.

e. Make a plan and act on it:

You have now wiped your slate clean. You are starting afresh, if not in action, at least in mind. Set short-term goals and formulate a strategy. And then act on it.

Hi Anu,

Agreed, introspection is the most important part.

But not so easy task. Have to train yourself for that.
