Most of us spend a great deal of our lives at work - that’s why it’s so important to learn to enjoy it.

Set realistic goals
There’s so much you need to get done, and sometimes we don’t even get half way through before it’s time to go home and start all over again with the house and family. Wanting to do more than is humanly possible is a sure route to frustration and anxiety. Set yourself more realistic objectives that fall within your capabilities. Remember that difficulties can arise to stop you getting on with your work at any time, so it’s important to set aside enough time and plan your day realistically.

Avoid stress
There’s nothing worse than getting up late and starting the day in a hurry. Take your time to get ready and have a good breakfast.
There are jobs we don’t like doing involved in all professions, and these tend to get done with less loving care. If you learn more about these tasks, then they’ll be easier for you to do and you might not hate doing them so much.
Always try to see the positive side of a situation, even the most tricky ones. You will be sure to learn something that will be useful later on. If you focus on the problem, and only the problem, you might not find the solution.
Don’t waste your time sitting in coffee bars during the working day. Eat healthily in a pleasant atmosphere, and if you can eat with your colleagues, all the better - it’ll help you relax and create a better relationship.

Don’t let your work build up
-Don’t be too much of a perfectionist - your time could be better spent on other tasks.
-Don’t put off difficult tasks for last: they’ll just seem worse.
-Don’t start a new task until
you’ve finished the current one.
-Don’t take work home, and try and forget your job when you
aren’t in the office.

Plan your life
-Organise the day to allow you to do everything you need to get done
-Assign the necessary time to each task, and stick to the timetable you set
-Fix priorities: classify your tasks from the most important to the least
-Make a list of tasks for the
following day before you leave the
office.
