Previously, we wrote about The End of the Desk and we considered three massive workplace trends. Also, I’ve been writing a bit lately about working in your strengths, overcoming your weaknesses and exposing your hidden talents.
When you bring all of this together you reach this basic and fundamental question:
How do you do your best work?
In a lot of goal-setting and vision creation programs there is an exercise called ‘Your Ideal Day’. As the title suggests you map out what your perfect day would look like.
For instance, you wake up with your lover/partner/spouse with beautiful sunshine streaming into your room, you walk out of your bedroom, take a few steps onto a beautiful sandy beach and jump into a shiny blue clear ocean, have a refreshing splash, enjoy your favourite things for breakfast and so on…
You get the picture… It’s a worthwhile exercise. And, if you haven’t done this before I’d suggest you have a go at writing and defining your ideal day. Once you’ve written it, compare it to your typical day.
