Upping Your Game This Year

Reaching your goals does not take a day of amazing luck or a great break. The real answer as to how to do it lies in everyday life and habits. Make the little changes that will matter the most. Here are a couple things that you should be doing everyday. The first thing you should be doing is getting up early. This means more than just being on time, it is also about having the time to do things in peace and quiet. You will be able to sit down and go through your internet phone messages and emails an have time left over to get the day started. Starting your days means that the schedule should already be set the night before. It will enable you to be at your most productive because you will hit the ground running. You should also be reading every single day. It will stimulate your thought process and help you keep up with current events. Lastly, it is important to go the extra mile than what is expected of you. You will start getting attention from the superiors or clients and have a great sense of motivation.

Things to Not Do This Year When In Charge of a Project


How many new years resolutions have you broken already? Maybe it is time to make a resolution about what not to do instead of what you are going to do. This idea doesn’t even require mobile applications. Maybe more like a lack thereof. One of the things that we will quit doing is checking emails first thing in the mornings. How many of you actually roll to your night stand to get the phone and start reading right then in bed before you have even gotten up and ready for the day. The emails will not go anywhere so it is important to spend time on yourself when you get up. Once you have gotten up in the morning and got yourself ready for the day, remember to never start a project without a clear plan and timeline. With that down, figure out what tools you will need  as well as never setting unrealistic deadlines or goals. When you have a team together, you should understand that they will make mistakes just like you and it is important to never call them out in public. As the leader of the team, you should also never give yourself a pass and always be accountable. You are the role model to the rest of the team. Lastly, the most important part of the project is the team, so do not take them for granted.
