Halfway done

By: Brian Rivera

With the heat starting to get ridiculous and the end of June coming faster than we like summer break is almost halfway gone. That being said all of us are busy at our summer jobs and internships, and if you’re like me, finishing up a major project you have been working on for a while. Now that you’re finished you might be thinking that you’ve reached the end, and the call of the pool and grill outs is stronger than ever. However, this is not the time to slack off and lose focus. These are some things I do to help myself get back in the groove at the halfway mark of anything that I am working on.

Do something fun

You just finished something major at work; I think that it is ok to take a night off. This can be a slippery slope though, and you have to be careful you don’t get too comfortable and lose focus.

Revaluate your goals

Now that you have something accomplished look back at the goals you set earlier in the month and see if anything has changed or is accomplished. Then readjust them as needed and set new goals for the rest of the summer.

Look ahead

Start thinking about what you need to be doing next and try to organize yourself. If need be do things like set a timeline, or start collecting materials you might need for future projects. If you’re an overachiever start working ahead!

These are just a few things to help you get over the midway hump and still be as focused and productive as you can be at work.
