Career Inspiration of the Week:

Organizing your daily task list or to-do list in different ways can help you to increase your daily productivity. Tag a list somewhere that works best to keep track of and make your task list for the next day beforehand. That way you can hit the ground running in the morning. And remember that failing to plan is a plan to fail.

Quote of the Week:

“Sometimes just saying yes and trying something outside of the box can lead you to something that you absolutely love doing and didn’t even know was possible.” ~ Lindsay O’Leary, PE, LEED AP
