JobsDB.com Article - Time Management At Work: Improve Your Work Performance

Here are some practical staying-in-love techniques:
•	Have a good breakfast to give you the energy and protein, which you so badly need first thing in the morning.
•	Dress with as much pride and attention to detail as you did on your first day of work.
•	Start each day with motivated people who talk about the good things in their lives. Once a week or so, take the initiative to get up a little earlier and go to breakfast with some of these people. I'm a member of a group that does just that. It's a very special way to start the day.
•	Get to work as early as you can and spend some quiet time settling in before everyone else arrives. If this is hard, offer yourself some small personal reward. (Mine is that first lingering cup of coffee, all alone, while opening my very exciting email.)
•	Do what I call the "icky" things first. Even the most fantastic job includes tasks that aren't much fun. If you get them out of the way, the rest of the day will fly by.
•	Make a list at the end of every day of what you learned, what was the most fun, who was the most fun to interact with, and how you feel you added to your group's success. A list of the 'beyond the paycheck' benefits. If you only work for the paycheck you will be employed, but not 'employable' long term.
