Most people, especially office workers breathe a sigh of relief because it is Friday.
In some offices there tend to be a very relaxed mood which at times may help to move the work flows quickly or it may hamper productivity. This is the day where we love to take the extended lunch hour and engage in excessive chit chat – not necessarily work related. Here are some ideas you can use to shine through the day:
1. Do most of your work the day before or come in earlier. Oops! Did I say earlier? Yes, starting an extra hour or even half an hour earlier will help you achieve a lot and leave you free to move with the flow.
2. Identify the things that must be done today and those you can leave off. If you place everything in the desk draw chances are that you may forget to do something important.
3. If there is a dress down policy do adhere to it. There is nothing more distracting on the job where ladies are concerned than see-through tops and revealing assets.
4. Do remember that whatever you do on these Fridays maybe be reflected in your performance review.
If you are a supervisor or manager this is one of the best days for reward and recognition meetings or team building.
