I don't feel like going to work today....

Sound familiar? How many times do you wake up and feel this way? Once? Twice? Never? First of all, if you do this more than a few times a week, it may be time to change your situation and find a job you don't dread. However, if you are just in a rut, what are some of the things that will help get you up and going in the morning? Plan your days. Make sure you have something to look forward to. A conversation with your boss, lunch with a friend, finishing up work you have been procrastinating doing. Think beyond your day. Sometimes we DO have days that are jam packed with crap! So, plan something you enjoy in the evenings to celebrate the crappy day being over. Also, think about new projects or work you can be doing that might spice up your job. Volunteer for something new, it will not only help energize your work day but make you look good to the execs in the mean time. One last piece of advice, find a friend at work, build relationships, offer help to your colleauges, it makes work much more interesting, rewarding and fun. Have a happy day!
