 GET UP EARLY

Giving yourself plenty of time to get

ready and eat a healthy breakfast
will help you to focus on the day
ahead and get to work in plenty of
time.
 SAY THANK YOU

Thanking colleagues and

employers for their advice shows
your appreciation and ensures that
they’ll make time for you when you
need help in future.
 FOCUS ON HIGH
PRIORITY TASKS FIRST

Not only does this mean you’ll meet

crucial deadlines, but it will also help
to keep you focused with multiple
projects going on at once.
 CHALLENGE
YOURSELF & WORK
HARD

When you achieve things you never

thought you would, you feel
confident enough to take on
anything and work even harder.
 MOTIVATE YOURSELF

At the start of your day, set yourself

some goals. You will feel motivated
each time you tick a task off your to-
do list.
 STAY FOCUSED

Staying focused on task can be

tough, but if you take lots of small
breaks throughout the day you’ll
keep your mind focused and
maintain productivity.
 LISTEN TO OTHERS

It’s important to listen to others and

take on board their perspective,
then compromise. Colleagues will
respect you for listening and you’ll
often learn something new, too.
 LEARN FROM YOUR
MISTAKES

Making mistakes is natural, but

learning from them is crucial to
success and will earn the respect of
your employer.
 THINK POSITIVELY

Stress and worry can hinder your

productivity, but by having a positive,
can-do attitude, you’re more likely to
reach your goals.
 ASK QUESTIONS

Having a better understanding of a

subject or procedure will help you
do your job better, and it will also
demonstrate that you’re interested
and eager to learn.
