Today is my b day and that means I only have 11 more years until I can retire with my pension.

I don't know how I am going to do it. I am at the point where I am holding on.

I have decided I have to start to implement some changes at work. And hopefully this will do it.

1. I hate my e-mail. I send an e-mail to someone and expect a response and don't get one for hours. It seems that I am the ONLY person in the world chained to that e-mail box and, I am, because I am always waiting for a response. So effective Monday I am going to check my e-mails when I arrive and do my business... shut the e-mail Box until 12:00 PM, do my business, and then check it again at 2:30 PM. I work in a job with meetings and I often keep my e-mail open and then don't hear what was said in the meeting. NO MORE. If I go into a meeting... no e-mail.

2. I am DONE checking my e-mail after I leave or during off hours. I mostly did this incase of an issue with my condo (use that e-mail) but I am done with that too. I work 8:30 to 5 and that is it.

3. I am going to lunch, every single day. I will walk around the building if I have to but I am leaving my desk. My boss is routinely not available from like 12:30 to 2 so it is wasted time anyway.

4. When I get to my desk I always forget about my life... and never get things done for me. I am going to devote 1/2 hour every day at 11 am to me.

5. I am going to get a calendar / to do list for me every day. I used to have a routine of making a list for myself each night at 4 PM on what I wanted to do tomorrow but I got out of the habit.

Happy Birthday!

And, all of your resolutions for work sound perfectly reasonable and like healthy work habits.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
