How's your focus?

As the temperature outside rises, are you having trouble focusing on the tasks in front of you? Taking 2 hour lunches outside? Leaving work early for happy hour?

Now, more then ever, you need to take out those goals for 2008. Revisit and revise them if necessary. Blow them up and put them at your desk or tape them to your medicine cabinet. Shrink them down and carry them in your wallet. Constantly remind yourself why you're doing what you're doing. If this is not enough, then the goals you orginally set were not motivating enough.

How are you rewarding yourself when you reach your goals? How about booking a vacation you really can't afford unless you meet your financial goals. If that's not motivating enough, go teach english in another country. If that's not rewarding enough, seek help or attend an EBL event.

Bottom line...enjoy the beautiful weather, but stay focused!!!
