Building Momentum After Labor Day

Firstly happy Tuesday and I hope you’ve had a great Labor Day weekend! 

We’ve all been there haven’t we?! After an amazing holiday or bank holiday weekend many of us suffer from a massive work hangover

What does this mean? Its very simple…. it can take many of us much longer than necessary to get yourselves back on track firing with all guns blazing. Like we discussed yesterday, It’s time to kick things into high gear!

So how can you speed up the recovery process from the holiday hangover? There are some key basic steps to follow which will help you to ensure that you win your momentum back rapidly! 

So below are 5 key steps you want to take: 

1. Take time at the very start of the week to plan and prepare your week- this can only be a 30 minutes short session but it will help you to create clarity around the action you need 

2. Cheat and pick your easy tasks first to help you build momentum. Pick tasks in your to – do list which are easy to complete. The concept of completing these tasks will help you to build momentum 

3. Aim to work with a high level of intensity. Be very focused on working fast. Not rushed, as you don’t want to make mistakes. But you do want to focus on creating a self energy of ”getting stuff done” 

4. Don’t stress about trying to do everything- the fact is a lot of times after a holiday you will be playing catch up- so its vital that you don’t stress about not getting everything done. Remember the sun will rise again tomorrow- meaning you will still have tomorrow to complete your tasks. 🙂

5. Don’t work to many extra hours- its easy when coming back from holiday to want to work extra time, to get through your tasks. This can have a detrimental effect though, whilst you can hold this level of work for maybe 1-2 weeks- this is the fastest way to reach a burn out. The best things to do is pick your clear working hours- stick to these hours and get in the habit of working within those hours. Over a period of time you’ll notice how much faster you become! 

We are headed into the last quarter of the year and we need close out the year on top!

Happy Selling,
