Today's Top News Story...is Stupid -Link-

I read a story today titled: "How to Boost Your Energy on the Job". The link is attached above. (click the word "link" above) I REALLY want to know why this is one of Yahoo!'s most widely emailed story today. Mr. Carmine Gallo did a nice job outlining some of his interviews with famous business people and what they say about why they have energy at work. In summary, his main focus is on three areas to Boost your energy at work: 1. Get more sleep, 2. Get more exercise and 3. Think uplifting thoughts. These are his secrets...how STUPID!

I am sorry to be tough on this guy as I don't know his writing AT ALL. He is probably a great writer. All I know is this may work as a 3-step plan for some people, but for most I know have enjoyed their work no matter how much sleep or exercise they were getting and whether they thought about uplifting thoughts. I am all for all three of these items but not as a recipe for boosting energy at work.

Let's not forget that work is WORK. That means it is hard, tough, and frustrating at times. It is also gives us some of the greatest pleasure, reward, comfort and passion we will ever know or experience. You will have good days and bad days at work. Finding more energy is a tough science. The reason it is tough is because there are a multitude of things that can deplete the energy stores. No matter what your energy level is you make a conscious decision to do a good job. Do a good job by choice each and every day and don't rely on how you feel. Feelings will keep you guessing too much. Don't ignore the feelings but wait a few hours or days and they will change again.

Work is hard even when you don't feel like it.

Job search extra hard today, even if you don't feel like it!

Let's Get Started!
