Journaling Your Work

by: Doreene Clement

Keeping a journal is a proven, powerful tool to enhance and benefit not only your personal life and well being.
Journaling can also do the same for your work life. It is a way to record and track daily activities and thoughts, which can help with long term projects and goals.

You can record the what, when, where, and why of what is important for you, your career, and your company.
You can journal in a blank book, in your daily planner, on your computer, on cassette, or even on video.
Use the system that most fits and supports your routine.

Some Benefits of Keeping a Journal

Solve problems, revealing solutions
See what you are thinking

Process and explore
Reduces stress, helps focus, and organizes
Can improve well-being, and makes time for you

These can be for yourself, for your co-workers/employees, or even for your company.

A goal is what you want to accomplish.
A resolution is how you are going to accomplish your goal.
As you write be sure to include specific thoughts and ideas for both.
You can create your goals and resolutions on a daily, weekly, monthly, or even on a yearly basis.

Goals
A goal is what you want to accomplish.
You can use your journal to set both long and short-term goals.

Be very specific -

Resolutions
A resolution is your resolve of how you are going to reach your goal. Again be very specific - To become Vice President of Sales by 2004 I will do the following??Then list these items. To make more money by the end of this year I will?..Again make a specific list of tasks and to do's that are practical things you can do to accomplish your goal.

Solve problems, revealing solutions
You can use your journaling as a problem solving tool.
As you write about a problem, your concerns, and even your fears, solutions can become more evident, because you?

?See what you are thinking
As you write down what you are thinking you are making solid on the paper your thoughts, and you can see what you are thinking.
With that it can be easier to assess if what you are thinking is serving want you want to accomplish.

Understand habits and patterns
We are creatures of habit. We create patterns and routines in ways of acting, and also in our thinking. Journaling our desires, thoughts, ideas, dreams, goals, and what is most important to us now, we can better see and track our habits and patterns. This process often reveals where we are stuck, and why.

Process and explore
As you write, it is a process of exploration into who you are, and what you are thinking.
It is an examination of what it is that you carry with you, in your mind, everyday.

Reduces stress, helps focus, and organizes
Journaling is a proven method to reduce stress, because the expression and clarity through journaling your experiences removes tension from that experience.
With less tension, you can be more focused, and it becomes easier to see and then focus on what is really important to you, for you, and your career.

Can improve well-being, and makes time for you
Through keeping a journal, with all the benefits that you can receive, there are studies proving that journaling improves well-being.
With journaling you stop and think about what you are experiencing or needing.

Creates a personal reminder
You can use your journal to remind yourself and even the people you work with of not only deadlines and timeframes, but you can outline specific targets in your journaling.
Your journal becomes a planning and organizing tool as you use it to set specific goals for yourself, individuals, and for your company.

You can use your journal as a blank palette to create all the dreams and ideas, all those thoughts that can be recorded without fear that they can't or won't happen
Journal your thoughts, ideas, dreams, and desires without any concern that this, that, or the other would have to be, or have to happen, before your idea can come true.

30 day journals?are an effective way to focus on specific problems or concerns.
You would keep a separate journal and write about one situation for 30 days.
(You can also use more, or less than the 30 days.)
Journaling is a way to process.
Concentrating on one topic for a set amount of time, narrows the focus and energy to a specific concern.

Learning The Importance Of Surety Bonding, The Hard Way

Learning The Importance Of Surety Bonding, The Hard Way

by: Michael Weisbrot

Sometimes people won?t listen to solid advice unless it directly effects them. Unfortunately, some people simply need to learn the hard way before they make more sound decisions. This can be seen almost every time suretyship makes its way to the news. Since surety bonds are not the most exciting thing in the world, you typically only hear about them when there is a problem, especially when it comes to contract bonds.

The Westchester, New York School District is a prime example of city officials learning the importance of requiring bonds. In the article ?Westchester Schools?? Dumping Deals Costly To Taxpayers?, the contractor hired to do the work never submitted a surety bond guaranteeing the work. The district allowed the contractor to begin work prior to submitting the bond. The end result was the contractor running out of funds and defaulting on the project. Had the...
