To do....or not?
This is a blurb from a Career Builder article that I came across today. I thought this was a really great way to attack a to do list. The rest of the article talks about how to help alievate a heavy workload. Of course everyone knows about "to-do" lists but I'd never heard of exposing one task at a time...
It's a neat tip- I think I might try it sometime!
Make a to-do list, then cover it up
"It may sound strange, but it works, says Jessica Carlson, an account executive at Blufish Design Studio, an advertising consulting firm.
Carlson says her team uses to-do lists to stay on task and highlight items that are a priority. "Cover up the list, except for one high-priority task at a time," she suggests. "This will allow you to focus better on the task at hand. It's easy to get overwhelmed if you're looking at a to-do list that spans an entire page. Focusing on a single item will make your tasks seem like they are more doable," Carlson says."

A little story about temping...
This is a true story, and a wonderful one at that! It demonstrates our motto that you just never know where a temp job can take you...
We got an email today from a temp who has worked with us throughout the past three years or so. She started temping when she came home from college over the summer and returned each summer after that. Last May she graduated and, like many, had found the market incredibly difficult so she decided she'd continue to temp until she was able to secure a permanent position.
We've sent her out on several assignments since May but one of our clients kept requesting her. Each time we'd call her, she'd gladly accept the assignment....BOY DID IT PAY OFF! During the course of this assignment she was introduced to a gentleman who worked in the field she was looking to get into, through the generosity of our client- who she was temping for.
Today's email was to let us know she had secured a permanent job working for our clients contact!
We can't think of a better temp story. Most people think that temp jobs lead nowhere-not true friends, just simply not true! Not only did our temp make some extra money by temping, she extended her network and utimately came out a winner with an excellent job- one she is incredibly excited about!
