Tired of the same old stuff? Try our free online inventory system and get your time back to do other stuff.
Regardless of how much we love our jobs, we all have days that we are less motivated and enthusiastic about being there. When the weather is bad we tend to be more depressed in general, when the weather is good we are distracted because we would rather be outside enjoying the beautiful day. Whatever the cause, we all suffer from days that we would rather not be working. Since few of us can take unlimited amounts of time off we can’t always be away from work when we’d like. The key then is to find ways to make being at work more enjoyable. One such way is to use our free online inventory system to speed up activities like taking stock and reporting daily metrics. And yes, you can use it free! Stockpile is the world's best free online inventory system for small business. How's that for beating the blahs?
One of the simplest ways is to add some personality to your space. Whether you have an office or just a desk you can add some personal touches to make your space more inviting to you. If your area is a little too public and you’re not comfortable displaying family photographs you can use pet pictures or posters that make you smile. The idea is to make your work space a place that you feel comfortable and to add elements that bring cheer to your day. Remember to change the pictures out periodically. After a while even the cutest pictures lose their mood impacting effectiveness. Once you get too used to seeing them everyday they become blah themselves.
Music is a great mood lifter. If you are able to play music while you work choose tunes that make you happy. There is a time and place for all types of music, keep in mind the type of work that you do, the impact the songs could have on others, and their appropriateness for all listeners. You may love sad songs but if they are bringing everyone around you down, they might not be the best for overall business morale. Conversely, really energetic songs are great for exercising to, but if your work requires concentration and a light touch revved up, heart pumping jams might not work out so well.
While addressing your environment can help, sometimes we still need a pick me up. Build times into your week that will give you something to look forward to. Stop for a special coffee or breakfast treat on the way to work, schedule lunch with a friend, take time to visit a park, museum or shop during lunch one day. Any of these activities can be just the bright spot that you need to help you look forward to the week.
Of course, finding ways to actually make your job easier can be a big help as well. Instead of struggling with inventory management issues, give Stockpile a try. Our free online inventory system is so quick and easy to implement that you may suddenly find with yourself with more freetime. Now that’s something to look forward to at work!
