Yesterday I shared about my whiteboard, a key element in my office that inspires me.

Today, I will share what I also keep at my desk in front of me at all times:

On cardboard paper:

• My Work Goals for the quarter (it’s very important to keep your goals visible)
• My work affirmations (added just recently).
  • I am committed to being a leader, an initiator, an over-communicator and fast deliverer at my job.
  • I am committed to getting better and better at my job.
  • I am committed to communicating clearly and effectively.
  • I am committed to giving generously to others, the more I give, the more I receive and the happier I feel.
  • I am committed to expanding in abundance, success and love and inspiring others to do the same

On post-it notes:

• My mantra of the Year: Practice Focused Attention. Maybe I need to rephrase into a question: Are you practicing focused attention? Much more powerful, no?
• My workday startup ritual steps, including the check-in questions.
• My workday shutdown ritual steps, including the check-out questions.

Since writing my ritual steps on post-its last month I’ve been committing to them more. In addition, I set an alarm 30 minutes before workday end to remind me to start my shutdown ritual and leave on time.

I hope you find this helpful to you.
