Are you getting cabin fever? Many areas of the country have been hit hard this winter. January is a great month to sit by the fire with a warm cup of coffee and take time to reflect upon and plan your career. Once the weather gets warmer, the days go by all too quickly. Grab a notebook and answer the following questions. Enjoy the process.
1. What did I do really well last year in my job? (Hopefully, this is on your resume and your supervisors are also aware of it.)
2. In reviewing the above responses, how could I (should I) continue to excel in those areas?
3. In what areas of my life should I give myself some slack? When working under unreasonable demands, I used to say to myself "All is well that ends well" then one day a colleague said stop being so hard on yourself, sometimes "All is well that just ends".
4. Are there things I need to stop doing (i.e. overcommitting, self-destructive habits, negative thoughts)?
5. In reviewing the past year, list 10 things (i.e. who and what) for which I am most grateful? List why.
6. Are there people with whom I need to reconnect? Make plans to do so.
