Using the science of good timing to pass the test, get the job, and live a meaningful life

Using the science of good timing to pass the test, get the job, and live a meaningful lifeUsing the science of good timing to pass the test, get the job, and live a meaningful lifeOne of the worlds foremost thinkers on business and social science,Daniel Pinkis the author of several groundbreaking books on work and behavior, including his most recent bestseller,When The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing.Adam Grantis an organizational psychologist, the top-rated professor at Wharton, and the 1bestselling author ofOriginals How Non-Conformists Move the World. He recently hosted Danielin the latest installment of the AuthorsWharton Speaker Series, wherbeie the two discussed why good timing isnt a mysterious art but a science that can be learned- and perhaps even mastered.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moraAdamIve read a lot of how-to books, but When is the first when-to book Ive eve r read. One part of the book made me really angry because you wrote that I should take naps. I hate naps- I always feel like a soggy piece of French toast afterward. Why should we take them?DanielWell, theres a rich body of science showing that naps operate as Zambonis for our brain. Over the course of the day, we have all these nicks and scuffs on our mental ice, and naps smooth those out.You seem to have a rigidly anti-nap ideology, but heres the thing- back in the day, I had the same view of naps as you did. When I would take a nap, I would wake up feeling bad and French toast-like. I would also wake up feeling deeply ashamed of myself because I felt like napping was some kind of moralische verfassung weakness.What I discovered is that I was doing it wrong. There is a better way to nap. What the research tells us is that the best naps are really short- 10 to 20 minutes long. Thats it. Beyond that is sleep inertia- what you describe as French toast- where you sleep so long that yo u have to dig your way out of the negative effectbefore getting the positive effect. So super-short naps are the best.The single best nap you can have, bang for the buck, is the following I will sit in a chair, put on noise-canceling headphones, and put my feet on a little ottoman. Then, I will have a cup of coffee, down it pretty quickly. Then Ill set the timer on my phone for 25 minutes, and I will close my eyes.Now, I can usually fall asleep in 10 to 12 minutes. Lets say I fall asleep in 12 minutes- that gives me a nap of 13 minutes. Thats pretty good, actually its in the 10 to the 20-minute sweet spot.But heres where it gets interesting. It takes about 25 minutes for caffeine to get into our bloodstream. So remember that coffee that I had? Just as Im waking up- minus the sleep inertia- I get that hit of caffeine I get a ersatzdarsteller-whammy. Thats the scientifically ideal nap, and its called a Nappuccino. I encourage you to take one.AdamI do like the way you describe it, even though I still cant imagine waking up feeling refreshed.So is there a when on naps? Is there a right time to take one?DanielA lot of the research on the when of doing stuff gives us not Do this at this particular time for this amount of time, but broader design principles that we can apply to our life.Basically, people often go through the day like this a peak, a trough, and a recovery. Thats our pattern of mood, and also our pattern of performance in some intriguing ways. For 80% of us, our pattern goes up, it goes down, it goes back up again.Now in the recovery stage, you see elevated mood and less vigilance. That makes it a good time for brainstorming, and other things where you want be a little bit looser. Weve all been in brainstorming sessions where someone is hypervigilant, saying, Thats a stupid idea, thats a stupid idea, thats a stupid idea. In the recovery stage, higher mood and less vigilance make ita good time for creative work.The research is telling us that we need to put a little more attention on doing the right work at the right time of day, because our cognitive abilities change throughout the day- and they change in significant but predictable ways. If we do our analytic work during the peak, our administrative work during the trough, and our creative work during the recovery, we can do a little bit better. Theres research showing that time of day explains about 20% of the variance in how people perform on cognitive tasks. Thats a big deal.Think about what else explains variance in how people perform- some people are smarter than others. Some people are more conscientious than others. Some people have more advantages. But timing- thats something you can do something about.AdamYou wrote about some standardized tests that are staggering.DanielIts unbelievable. In Denmark, students take their standardized tests on computers, but the typical Danish school has more students than computers, so not everyone can take the test at the same time.Two D anish researchers looked at two million standardized test scores in Denmark, and what they found is that students who take the test in the morning score significantly better than students who take the test in the afternoon. In fact, taking the test in the afternoon is equivalent to missing two weeks of school.Its an Oh wow fact for two reasons. One, we are making policy based on standardized tests, and theres such a heavy effect of time of day. And two, were making decisions about these kids based on their standardized test score, when maybe they had been randomly assigned to take the test earlier or later in the day. Its kind of terrifying.AdamTheres a bunch of people thinking, Hey, I wasted a lot of money on test prep. I couldve just shifted the hour of the day.DanielNot a bad idea. Im getting email from people who are taking certification exams saying, When should I take it? If you take a test in the morning, its not like youre guaranteed to do well. But if youre a morning person and you have a 10% option of getting a great score, you can maybe dial it up to 13% if you take it in the morning. Its still an 87% chance youre not gonna do well, but Ill take that jump from 10% to 13%. Its a 30% increase Over time, those things really pay off.AdamWe cant always control the time that we get scheduled to take a test or interview for a job. But theres an interesting shift in the data with one group of students who take a test at the wrong time but still do better.DanielOh yeah, this is actually a remedy for a lot of what happens during that daily dip. If you give those kids a 20-30 minute break, and they run around the playground, their scores not only go back up, but go a little bit higher.I was blown away by the research on breaks. And you can extend this into things like recess, where you have many school districts pulling back on recess in the anthroponym of raising standardized test scores, in fact, you might want to do the exact opposite.AdamIm curious, what a re we supposed to be doing during our breaks? Adult recess?DanielThats not a terrible idea, actually. We should be taking more breaks, and the kinds of breaks we should be taking is one of those areas where it distills very nicely into some design principles.Heres what we know- number one something is better than nothing. A one- or two-minute break is better than no break at all. The second thing is that moving is better than being stationary. Outside is better than inside. The research has been around for a while- the replenishing effects of nature are just amazing.This is a really interesting one social is better than solo. Breaks with other people are more restorative than breaks on our own, even with introverts.And then the brde one fully detached beats semi-detached. So you want to leave your phone behind, you want to not talk about work- you just want to detach. And in terms of length, it can be 10 or 15 minutes.So there is a Platonic ideal a ten-minute break with friends, wal king around outside, leaving your phone behind, and talking about something other than work.Theres research showing that time of day explains about 20% of the variance in how people perform on cognitive tasks. Thats a big deal.AdamShifting gears, I think theres some bigger questions about life decisions here. Growing up, my mom always told me that everything in life is timing- you can meet the same person but not fall in love with them if you met them at the wrong time.And I hated hearing that, because it means that so much of our lives is out of our control. And yet youre saying there are things that you can control. Like timing a job interview for example- could you talk to us about when its best to be the first candidate interviewed versus taking the last slot?DanielOn the first point, what your mother is talking about is essentially fortune, circumstance, luck- and thats a big factor in our lives. We dont like thinking about that, we dont like talking about the utter randomness of the things that happen to us. Its disturbing. But there are some things we can control.Lets talk about job interviews- theres a sequence effect. Most jurisdictions for voting have randomized ballots, but theres a huge advantage of being first on a ballot. When else is it of value to go first? Its better to go first when you are not the default candidate.A lot of times, decision makers have a default in their back pocket. For things that are kind of binary- yes or no- the default answer usually is no. If you go ask a boss for a raise, the default answer is no- your boss has no in her back pocket. If youre in sales and you ask somebody to buy something, the default answer is no. If you ask somebody out for a date, the default answer is no.So when are people likely to overcome the default? Theyre more likely to overcome the default earlier in the day than later. So if youre first and youre not the default candidate, you have a little bit of an edge.If there arent that many candidate s, going first has an advantage. If there are limited candidates and strong candidates, youre also better off going first because of the Gamblers Fallacy, which is saying, I flipped a coin four times and it was heads, heads, heads, heads The next time I flip, it cant possibly be heads againThe Gamblers Fallacy in decision making is that somebody sees, Great candidate, great candidate, great candidate The fourth? Well, I cant have four great candidates in a row, so Im actually going to mark down the fourth one. So amongst a limited number of strong candidates, youre better off going first.If you are the default, youre better off going toward the end. Because later in the day, in general, people will lean toward the default decision. Youre also better off going last if there are a lot of candidates, due to the recency effect.The thing that is probably most germane for real life is that if the decision makers are not totally clear on the criteria, youre better off going later. Because a lot of decision makers- even in job interviews- will use those first interviews to figure out what it is they want. So they basically use the other people to establish their criteria, and then you come along Ah, thats what I was looking forThose are some rules of thumb, and again, you need to recognize that youre just turning the dial. Youre increasing probability by a few points. But if you can increase your probability from 12% to 17% and you go on eight interviews, thats pretty good.AdamSo lets say Ive taken my first job out of college or MBA program, and then I have to decide when to leave that job. How do I decide when to quit?DanielPeople are most likely to quit on the one-year, two-year, three-year anniversary of their job, these zeitlich markers.At the most satisfying jobs, people have control, and theyre challenging. So think about a job that is in your control but not challenging- youre bored. Think about a job that is not in your control but is challenging- youre going to burn out. Think about a job thats neither- youre just adrift. A job thats both in your control and challenging is a good job.So project out to your anniversary and think, Which of these squares will I be in? If you cant get to the right square, then I think its time to consider leaving.The other thing that comes out is the research on the salary benefits of switching jobs, which was surprising to me. Take two similarly situated people, Fred and Ed. They both graduated from college, theyre the same level of ability, but Fred graduates in a recession, Ed graduates in a boom. That shows up in their wages literally 20 years later- Fred is still behind. The unemployment rate when you graduate from college is a predictor of what your wages will be 20 years later, which is terrifying.Why is this going on? What matters really is that Fred has far less mobility than Ed. Ed takes a job, and Ed is looking for the right match for his skills. You dont usually get that right away, so you will often switch to figure out, Oh, this is what Im good at, this is what Im not good at. Switch. Oh I stink at that, but Im pretty good at that. Switch. That allows you to find the right work for your skills.Some people have more advantages. But timing- thats something you can do something about.Also, within those changes is a pay increase. So Ed finds his way to the right match for his skills far earlier, which leads to the higher wages. Whereas Fred says, This is a terrible match. I want to leave, but the labor market is too muddy- I cant do that. So Im going to stay at this job, then when the labor market finally tightens up, I can move. Hes not making these matching moves as quickly- hes already lost a couple of years, and it adds up in a fairly terrifying way.AdamSo Ed was doing more job-hopping and getting a higher salary- the data suggests that Ed is going to be richer, but less happy. Emily Bianchi has these studies that show people who graduate during economic recessions are h appier with their jobs 20 years later because theyre grateful to have jobs, and the people who graduate during a boom are like, Wow, I could have a much better job. My life is terrible. So can you help us get both wealth and satisfaction?DanielUm, no- I think thats actually a really good point. In a tighter job market where there are more opportunities and more hopping, you inevitably trigger social comparison, which corrodes our sense of well-being. If youre in a situation where you are lucky to just have a job, you had the career equivalent of a near-death experience, and youre grateful. Youre satisfied with what you have.I think theres a way to square the circle here, which basically has the benefits of economic success, but uses other techniques to mitigate or dampen the social comparison aspect.You actually offered up one technique to me when we were together once. Its basically, Dont compare yourself, because I dont care how well you do, theres always someone whos doing better . So instead of comparing yourself to others, compare yourself to yourself five years ago. I think thats actually really healthy. That could be a decent way of saying, Hey, even though Joe Schmutz over there worked for a hedge fund and is now a gazillionaire, Im a lot better than I was five years ago. Im actually making a decent living and supporting my family.Also, focus on other virtues besides money. Focus on,Do I have meaningful relationships?

5 Ways Women Can Ditch the Overwhelm and Build a Career

5 Ways Women Can Ditch the Overwhelm and Build a Career5 Ways Women Can Ditch the Overwhelm and Build a Career5 Ways Women Can Ditch the Overwhelm and Build a CareerIt welchesnt long ago when women were expected to stay home and take care of the children and household while men went to work to bring home the bacon. In 1952, barely 30% of women held jobs. Now, they make up nearly half the U.S. labor forcean estimated 41 million wage earners.Even mora, approximately 6.2 million women own their own companies, contributing nearly $2.4 trillion to the economy. So, women are not only bringing home the bacon, theyre frying it up as well.Lynn Weiner, a dean at Chicagos Roosevelt University, wrote about the history of the female labor force in her study, From Working Girl to Working Mother. She notes that before World War II, working women were mainly single, fresh off the farm, and working in factories. Today, theyre more likely to be harried mothers, madly juggling business meetings with ki ds day-care schedules. Juggling multiple responsibilities of family and a career can overwhelm even the most ambitious woman if shes not careful. So, how can we manage our career paths and advance in our careers if were overwhelmed in our current situations?Here are five keys to managing all of that while building your career1)Identify and Maintain a Clear Path. Many of my female clients tell me, I just want a job. Who can be picky in this economy? While its true that balance and flexibility are required in these challenging times, totally abandoning your career goals for just a job is counterproductive. Set a goal and take definitive steps toward it. In the long run, employers will ask you why you took a job as a credit repair specialist when what you really wanted was to be a public health educator. Ultimately, it will take you even longer to reach your goal because you stepped off the path.2)Take Small Steps Toward Your Goal. Looking down the road at owning your own business migh t be a bit intimidating. Since you have already mapped out your plan (right?), take tiny steps along the path youve already identified. Learn about and identify the best business structure identify partners, officers, or board members decide on a mission for the business, develop a marketing plan, etc. One step at a time3)Set Deadlines. Setting deadlines to complete the tasks youve mapped out helps you stay on top of each item thats necessary to move you closer to your goal. Decide on a time frame and stick to it. Do you need to enroll in that business course by July to reserve your seat for the fall semester? Have you said you would file incorporation papers for your business by January 15? The sense of accomplishment you feel as you meet each deadline will keep you motivated to continue.4)Join Forces. Find support by joining organizations of women who have similar ambitions. Three such groups areAdvancing Women provides career and business strategy, tools, and resources to support your career, business, and leadership goals.Women of Vision Empowerment Network provides untersttzung from professional coaches through online resources.eWomenNetwork provides a comprehensive suite of services to help women market and promote themselves.5)Dont Forget Family. Sometimes, we get so busy reaching for our goals that we forget those we want to be standing with us when we get there. Dont forget to schedule time with your children and spouse. Mini-dates, game nights, or even involving them in your activities is important. I have had my daughter serve as intern for a day in my office. She felt grown up, and we got to spend time together while I worked. Reaching your goals is much more fulfilling when you have someone to share them with.

5 Signs a Job Seeker Is Ready for the Startup World

5 Signs a Job Seeker Is Ready for the Startup World 5 Signs a Job Seeker Is Ready for the Startup World Welcome to Recruiter QA, where we pose employment-related questions to the experts and share their answers Have a question youd like to ask? Leave it in the comments, and you might just see it in the next installment of Recruiter QAThis Weeks Question Working for a startup comes with its own unique challenges and rewards, and not everyone is cut out for the startup life. As the owner of a startup, how can you tell when a prospective employee is ready to work for your team?The answers below are provided by members of FounderSociety, an invitation-only organization comprised of ambitious startup founders and business owners.1. Look at Their Job History and Social ActivityYou can get a good idea of an individuals character and work ethic by taking a look at their previous job experiences and verbunden social profiles especially LinkedIn. Take the time to research each of your pot ential hires and see how their online actions and previous work experiences represent their entrepreneurial spirit, drive, and work ethic.- Zac Johnson, Blogging.org 2. Decide Whether They Have Passion and VisionBuilding a startup is building a company culture. When the interviewee not only can clearly communicate the companys vision, but is also truly passionate about it, thats a good sign that they might be a good fit. Startups can have high risks, but also high rewards, and people flexible enough to deal with those challenges are typically the ones that will thrive in the startup environment.- Steven Newlon, SYN3RGY Creative Group 3. Decide Whether They Can See a Project Through to CompletionAre they simply ready do the whole job and not delegate everything to a team they manage? In a startup environment, every employee must complete tasks below their pay grade from time to time. If they understand this and truly are willing to do the work, then they might be a good fit for a s tartup. If they have any hesitation about it at all, dont hire them.- Marty McDonald, Bad Rhino Inc 4. See If They Are Prepared to Work Outside Their Comfort ZoneKey early employees need to be specialists, but they have to be okay with occasionally working outside their comfort zone. This includes tasks or duties that are both above and below their equivalent role at a large company. If they arent excited about rolling up their sleeves when duty calls, neither party will be happy.- John Arroyo, Arroyo Labs, Inc. 5. Ask About Their fruchtwein Menial JobStartups involve a lot of really exciting, important work. At the same time, there is a fair amount of mundane, boring work that is often done by people who are overqualified to do it, simply because there are so few people at the company. Ask the prospective employee to describe the most menial job theyve ever had and how they coped. From their answer, youll be able to quickly gauge whether or not theyre down for anything.- Lisa Cu rtis, Kuli Kuli 6. I Was UnemployableI never chose to be an entrepreneur, but I have grown to become one despite who I was. I realized early on that I make a terrible employee because Im impatient to work for someone elses dream. I am a great team player when Im working on something Im crazy passionate about. Otherwise, I would be a frustrating person to manage. Entrepreneurship suits my type of personality well.- Julian Flores, GetOutfitted, Inc.

Costly Health Savings Account Mistakes

Costly Health Savings Account MistakesCostly Health Savings Account MistakesA Health Savings Account is more than just a way to save for future medical expenses. It can also yield certain tax advantages, while potentially shoring up your retirement strategy. Thats important, considering that the average 65-year-old couple will spend approximately $275,000 on health care in retirement. That figure doesnt include the cost of long-term care, which can add thousands of dollars to the total. Medicare can pick up the tab for some of your health care costs in retirement, but it doesnt titelseite everything, including long-term care. Thats where an HSA can be invaluable. You can withdraw funds from your HSA tax-free for qualified medical expenses. And, you can also tap your HSA for other financial needs- with a tax caveat, of course. If youve got access to a Health Savings Account, its important to make sure youre using it to its full advantage. That begins with avoiding these common mistake s. Confusing an HSA With an FSA A Flexible Spending Arrangement is another type of tax-advantaged savings account for health care. While the abbreviations for FSAs and HSAs are similar, there are some important differences to be aware of if your employer gives you the option of using either plan. First, an HSA allows you to save more for health care. For 2017, pre-tax contributions to an FSA are capped at $2,600. With an HSA, you can contribute $3,400 if you have coverage and $6,750 for family coverage. The HSA limits are set to climb to $3,450 and $6,900, respectively, in 2018. So why is that important? FSA contributions reduce your taxable wages, while HSA contributions are tax-deductible. Either way, you get a tax break but if you max out your HSA, that could yield a larger tax benefit at the end of the year. The other thing to know is that FSA contributions dont roll over from year to year. With an HSA, however, you can leave the money in your account until you need it. That means you dont have to frantically try to spend down those contributions each year. Instead, you can allow them to grow. Assuming an HSA Isnt Worth It If Youre Older If youre already in your 50s, you might think to contribute to an HSA is worth your time. At this point, for instance, you may be focused on playing catch-up with your 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. That doesnt mean, however, that you cant still leverage an HSA later in life. Assume that youre 50 years old and contribute $6,000 a year to an HSA, until you reach age 65. (Remember, you can no longer contribute to an HSA once you enroll in Medicare.) Assuming you earn a 3 percent annual return and fall into the 25 percent tax bracket, you could accumulate roughly $115,000 for health care costs on a tax-deferred basis. Even if you save less than that, every dollaryou put away could be used to offset medical costs in your later years. Missing Out onEmployer Matching Contributions A 401(k) isnt the only way to snag some free money in the form of a company match. Employers also have the option of offering a matching contribution to employee Health Savings Accounts. The catch is that total contributions to the account- including what you and your employer put in- cant exceed your annual contribution limit. That means if you have individual coverage for 2017 and your employer matches 100 percent of what you save, you could contribute $1,700 and your employer could match the same amount. Your plans matching structure might be different but its worth checking your plan to see if a match is available, since that reduces the amount you have to save. Not Thinking Big Picture The primary function of an HSA is to help you enjoy some tax benefits while savingmoney for health care costs down the line. Thats not, however, the only way to use HSA funds. Once you reach age 65, you can withdraw money from an HSA for any purpose, with no penalty. You would, however, have to pay ordinary in come tax on anything you withdraw that isnt used for medical purposes. Thatsimportant to know, especially if you havent poured as much money into your employers retirement plan or an IRAas you would have liked. Even if you dont end up needing to draw on an HSA to cover living expenses in retirement, it can ease your peace of mind to know that the money is there if you need it. Not Knowing What Health Care Expenses an HSA Can Be Used For An HSA can be used to pay for health care but it doesnt cover everything. If you mistakenly use HSA funds to pay for a non-eligible cost, that can create a tax bite. Youll owe regular income tax on the money, plus a 20 percent additional tax penalty if youre under age 65. Bottom line? If youve got a Health Savings Account, be sure to read over the details of your plan carefully so you know whats covered and whats not. And dont count an HSA out if youre older, or if you have other accounts that youre using to saving for retirement. If you stay hea lthy, an HSA could help to supplement anything else youre setting aside in tax-advantaged or taxable brokerage accounts.

Why you fail to accomplish resolutions Youre not listening to emotions

Why you fail to accomplish resolutions Youre notlage listening to emotionsWhy you fail to accomplish resolutions Youre not listening to emotionsNew Years resolutions often fail because toxic emotions and experiences from ur past can sabotage us or keep us stuckverzierung with the same old thoughts, patterns, and regrets. - Debbie FordIt is impossible to change ur behavior without addressing ur emotions.We can manage ur attitudes, but emotions are out of our control. Thats the biggest challenge that lies ahead. Even though we cant control our emotions, we must confront them if we want to achieve our resolutions.You cant block negative emotions from your life. Whether its fear, anxiety, or guilt, you are not immune from the emotional rollercoaster - change is not a linear process, but full of highs and lows.Unfortunately, most people think that success depends on a method. By looking for a 5-step process to achieving our goals, they fail to address the emotional battle inside their m inds.Emotions inside your headThe problem with New Years resolutions is that people try to adopt too many behavioral changes at once. It doesnt work. I dont care if youre a world-class CEO - youll quit. - Tim FerrissTheres nothing wrong with productivity methods. Without proper discipline, tools, and goals, managing your emotions alone is not enough. However, if you cant understand and manage your emotions, achieving your goals will become a lost battle.Science has made a lot of progress in the battle against procrastination by tackling it as an emotion-management problem rather than a productivity one, as I wrote here.Lets start by understanding the fundamental differences between emotions, feelings, and mood.Emotions are an instant response to a specific trigger - our brain releases emotion chemicals in 1/2 second. The whole body experiences this instinctive reaction that lasts just 6 seconds.Feelings, on the other hand, play out in our heads - we start to process the chemical reaction. They are mental associations we process the emotion and let it soak in. Feelings are personal and acquired through experience.Lastly, a mood is an emotional state. Its less specific, less intense and less likely to be provoked by a particular event. They affect the way we respond to stimuli - our moods creates a bias in favor of reacting negatively or positively.Emotions are more complex and nuanced - most people cant really understand whats causes their pain or comfort. Moods are more straightforward - You are either in a good mood or a bad one.Emotions are not just negative or positiveUnderstanding the basic emotions will help you recognize, name, and navigate them. The most influential classification is Robert Plutchiks wheel - it outlines eight basic emotions gemeindeland, anticipation, joy, trust, fear, surprise, sadness and disgust.Emotions are a response to a specific trigger - each one has a particular purpose.Image by https//www.6seconds.orgDividing emotions into positive and positive ones created a bad rap for the latter. Most of us were raised to show the good ones and keep the bad ones to ourselves. However, all emotions are part of your experience. You cant have joy without experiencing sadness or courage without fear.Trying to erase negative emotions creates more trouble - we cant run away from our them. Lets face them.Being positive is not about having only positive emotions, but to embracing our whole-self - both positive and negative - rather than idealize our life. As Golda Meir said, Those who dont know how to weep with their whole hearts dont know how to laugh either.Emotions are fluid - you can turn them into your favor regardless if they are positive or negative.How to improve your emotion-managementWhen negative emotions churn, it takes courage not to flinch.Most of us are clueless about how our emotions affect our productivity. To develop effective responses, we must learn how and why they manifest.Anger, fear, envy, guilt, and sadness are the most common negative emotions that get in our way - we must manage them if we want to achieve our goals. Knowing more about these emotions increases your ability to identify, name, and handle them.1. AngerAnger is one of the most common negative emotions, especially at work. It can result from interpersonal conflicts, frustrations, or unfair treatment. Sometimes anger is triggered by reliving something that happened in the past.Lets say you tried to learn a new language a couple of years ago and quit. Now you are giving it another try. The moment you feel stuck, you will immediately remember you failed on your previous attempt. Reliving that failure can make you angry and suck the energy out of you. Thus, increasing your chances of quitting (again).The greatest remedy for anger is delay. ? Thomas PaineOne key for managing anger is to take some distance. Calm down before making any decision. Reflect on why you are angry? Whats the cause of you upsetness? Having unrealistic expectations is what makes most people frustrated. Maybe you set the bar too high. Or you expect progress to be linear versus a bumpy road.Source Demetri MartinAnger feeds more anger - it creates endless resentment and frustration.Are you too harsh on yourself? When anger is stirring, remain still. Listen to what that chemical reaction is telling you. Whats the problem that you are fighting? Discriminate real issues from imaginary ones - unnecessary pressure is not the same as room for growth. Practice chopping up tasks into smaller ones.2. FearThe fear of failure crashes our ability to achieve our goals. Even worse, they procrastinate taking the first step - they fail to launch a new project or habit.The reasons we are afraid of failing varies from person to person. Most people take things too personal - if they cant achieve something, they become a failure. Others believe they are not good enough or are afraid of being happy. Many of us approach new habits w ith a perfectionist mind - we cant accept we are not flawless.Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors. - African ProverbMost people are unlikely to share their fears with others, especially in the workplace. Fear can be a foe or your ally - its your call to face it or not. Living fearlessly is not about not being afraid, but learning to dance with fear. It doesnt mean ignoring your challenges but looking at fear in the eye. By facing your emotions, you meet the world with an open heart - you embrace your vulnerability.What makes you afraid? Write down all the reason that comes to mind every time fear distracts you from your goals. What are you really afraid of? Ask this question over and over. Dont judge your answers. Naming your fears is the first step toward befriending them.True fearlessness is not the absence of fear but befriending fear.Fear turns on our defense mechanism - we feel we are in danger even if we are not. Whats attacking you? Wheres this attack coming from? W hy do you feel attacked? Ironically, fear has an upside - when your brain senses a threat, your ability to focus heightens.3. EnvyEnvy and jealousy travel together but are different emotions. Envy is a two-person relationship I want what you have. Jealousy is a three-person triangle I want the recognition you have from others.Bertrand Russell said Beggars do not envy millionaires, though of course, they will envy other beggars who are more successful.Jealousy originates from the prospect of failure envy from actual failure - when things dont go our way, we want to be as successful as others. Thats the problem of comparing ourselves to others - we idealize their success rather than focusing on making progress. We have the notion of learning all backward - its not easy, but a painful experience as I wrote here.Our brain is a muscle it hurts when we stretch beyond our comfort zone. Pain is an indicator of progress - we must continue to move forward, not run away. Envy adds more pa in - we compare our initial progress to those who have been doing something for years. Success is the end of a long road, focus on todays steps, not on the final destination.Avoid comparing yourself to others. Become your own benchmark. When we stop judging ourselves, we set our potential free.4. GuiltWhen guilt competes for your attention, it usually wins. Guilt is a common feeling that signals that our actions (or inaction) might cause harm to another person. I should have done something differently I should be doing more Guilt gets us stuck - we rehash the past rather than live the present moment.In psychology, the term Zeigarnik effect refers to people remembering uncompleted or interrupted tasks better than completed tasks. We blame ourselves for not having done better or more. Productivity blame is the nagging feeling that you should be doing more - you feel you will never reach your goals.Mistakes are always forgivable if one has the courage to admit them. - Bruce LeeProd uctivity blame is a mindset of feeling bad about not creating, achieving or working hard enough. We usually feel guilty because we were taught to fill our days with the important stuff - we emotionally punish ourselves when we think we are doing something trivial.Treat yourself with kindness. Putting too much pressure hurts our productivity. Self-appreciation is essential - it builds a strong foundation for us to grow and become the best version of ourselves. Why do you feel guilty about not doing more? Where is that pressure coming from? Are you fair with yourself? Or too critical? Treat yourself kindly without lowering your bar.5. SadnessFeeling sad crushes our enthusiasm and drains our productivity - we feel our energy is low and cant focus. Sadness has direct repercussions - we stop showing up, we procrastinate and fail to do what we want to.Sadness makes us feel isolated - the moment when we need more help is when we hide away the most. Embrace sadness at your own pace but dont seclude yourself - sharing affection can help you ease the pain.Be understanding. We are not the most productive persons when we are sad. Focus your energy on recovering first before trying to achieve your resolutions. Additional pressure can make you feel sadder and also guilty. Sadness, just like anger, can seed more negative emotions if you fight it, rather than accept it.We must understand that sadness is an ocean, and sometimes we drown, while other days we are forced to swim. - R.M. DrakeIf you feel very sad, acknowledge is not the time to be concerned about being productive. Only you can determine when you are ready to challenge yourself. abflug gradually but dont get caught in a constant state of sadness. Getting back to your normal routine or making progress - no matter how small - will reenergize you.Ask yourself How do I feel today? Whats possible? Pause from time to time to confront the cause of your sadness. Make room to let it all out when necessary. The less you hide your real emotions, the less they will get in your way. Learning to cope with adversity strengthens your ability to bounce back.Your turnEmotions are created by incorrect perceptions - there is a gap between appearance and reality. Understanding how emotions affect your productivity requires practice.Self-awareness is key - the more you know yourself, the better you can deal with your emotions. Treat yourself kindly, embrace your emotions. Pay attention. What are they trying to tell you? Learn to adjust your routine to your emotions rather than avoiding them. Or it will backfire.Naming your emotions is a critical step - its easier to manage something when you know what you are dealing with. I hope the above guide helps you improving at listening, naming, and understanding your emotions.

Avoid These Ad Agency Interview Mistakes

Avoid These Ad Agency Interview MistakesAvoid These Ad Agency Interview MistakesWhen the time comes for you to interview for a new advertising job, you need to be prepared. Knowing what notlage to say is just as important as knowing what to say at the interview. In addition, tailor your portfolio to align with each specific role for which you are applying and research the specific agency, so you appear well-prepared and knowledgeable about the agency and the industry. Show Agency Loyalty If asked where you see yourself in five years, dont say with another company. This is insulting and lets an employer think youre biding your time until you can leave for something better. Rather, you want to give the impression that you expect to work there for a long time. In five years, you see yourself as being a strong member of the agency, helping to steer and shape its direction and doing great work. Keep your eye on the prize, not the future. Never talk about divorce before youre even marr ied. Update Your Portfolio If you work in the creative department, your portfolio is a key representation of your past and present work. It should contain your current work, past work, any awards, and printed or broadcast content. Think of it as your career in one portable case or handy website. In the hectic world of advertising, its very easy to overlook a portfolio, but it needs to be updated often. That great campaign you created 15 years ago may not be as impressive as it was at the time. Unless its something classic like the 1984 spot, keep changing the content so it stays relevant, which lets your future employer know youve been busy and have recent work. Keep your portfolio organized. That means having a logical progression throughout, even on yourwebsite, split into campaigns, with examples of each part of the campaign. Spec work is fine if its great. Start strong, finish with your best work, and put everything else in the middle. But, everything else should still be go od work. Remember, a portfolio is only as strong as the weakest piece of work. Be tough and cut the weak pieces. Also, peoples opinions differ- some will love your work, and others will hate it. While you should always be ready to take criticism, dont change your portfolio after every interview, and dont be afraid to defend your work. Sometimes, you will meet creative directors who take shots at you just to see how well you defend yourself. Remain confident about your work. Do Your Homework Walking into an agency with little knowledge of their business is a terrible idea. Regardless of your busy work life and impressive portfolio, you must have current knowledge about the agency doing the hiring. The interviewer is most likely going to ask questions directly related to the state of the agency. From current clientsto award news and the makeup of the executive staff, your answers will show the interviewer how serious you are about getting a job with their agency. Youre not expecte d to know every last detail, but youshould know the key players, what theyve been up to over the last few months, recent headlines they have made, their major accounts, any other wins theyve had, and anything else that could be brought up in an interview. Study hard, pay attention, and be proactive in the interview. Be the one to bring up topics such as an account win, a new creative director or planner, and any big awards. Dress Appropriately Advertising is a creative profession where the dress code is likely to vary among departments. For example, if you work in the accounts, production, sales, or finance departments, youll probably be fine wearing your best formal clothes, but you should try and add a touch of flair to be remembered. A noticeable tie, a cool accessory or hairstyle, something that says you mean business but also know what it takes to stand out. Advertising is all about presentation, and you need to make a memorable impression. When it comes to the creative dep artment, there are no rules. Some art directors and writers turn up looking like theyve been on tour with a rock band for three months. Its fine, theyre creative, they get to dress that way. Other creatives turn up in matching red suits. Again, no problem. This all depends on the department, and that relates directly to doing your homework about the agency. However, as a creative, turning up looking like an accountant with no personality will not do you any favors. Unless your research tells you otherwise, your creativity should shine through and not be disguised by a bland wardrobe. And yes, jeans and T-shirts are usually fine. But if in doubt, get feedback from creatives who already work at the agency. Team Player You may be asked why you left your last agency. Although you may be tempted, avoid all negative comments. First, it is unprofessional to badmouth a previous employer. Also, the hiring agency may feel that you could speak negatively about them as well. Also, the indus try changes quickly due to account losses, wins, mergers, and changes in the economy. Keeping a good relationship with your current employer, including the appearance of liking them, is vital, as you may easily cross paths again. If anyone asks you why you want to leave the agency, reply with a positive answer, like that you want to expand your portfolio and experiences by working on different accounts you want to expand you skill set at an agency that has different disciplines or you want a change of scenery to stay fresh. Humble but Confident Some people think there are tricks to use that get an ad agency to pay attention. The biggest misnomer is that egos are welcomed, even applauded, which is not true. Even if you are the best copywriter or art director in the country, you shouldnt be walking into the interview with that chip on your shoulder. Be confident in your abilities, but also know that you have mora to learn. A little humility goes a long way. Looking bored, yawning, or making any other gesture that suggests you want to be somewhere else will be regarded negatively. You want to be excited about the interview, even if your sole purpose is to network and not get the job. Also, dont suggest or assume that you already have the job. Maybe you are the best candidate and you know it. But you should always act like you are hopeful and confident, without expecting to succeed. Turn Off Devices Human resource representatives often list answering a cellphone as the most infuriating aspect of a bad interview. If youre in advertising, you will rely on your phone more than many other professions. Many of your campaigns will be targeted digitally, and you will also have a long list of contacts, social media colleagues, and other avenues to explore through your phone. But disable your phone before you get to your interview. Also, you may think that by answering an urgent call, or responding to an urgent text, you are projecting importance. However, an emplo yer will view accepting the call as rude and poor judgement, which is likely disqualifying. The only suitable time to bring out your phone is if the interviewer asks for online work samples that you can show using your phone. Practice interviewing tactics until you know them well. And in addition to watching your words and actions, organize your portfolio so it represents your career in the most favorable light possible, and research the agency and its people prior to the interview.

How to Write a Cover Letter

How to Write a Cover Letter How to Write a Cover Letter What is a Cover Letter? A cover letter is a one page document you need to send with your resume to introduce yourself in a memorable and personal way to the hiring managers. Basically, it is a brief description of your achievements so far relevant to the job̢۪s requirements. What to Include? Contact Information and Date Salutation Opening Paragraph Middle Paragraph Closing Paragraph Signature Guidelines for writing a Cover Letter Introduction Firstly, you need to write the date along with your contact information. That will include your name, your address, your phone number and your professional email address. Then, check who you are writing to. Rather than just including Sir or Madam, include the individual̢۪s name along with his or her position in the company. It proves that you have worked hard to find out and given some thought instead of carelessly writing it. Now, give a brief summary of which position you are applying for and why. Tell what your goals are and what you have learned so far. Tell About Yourself You should not go on telling stories about yourself in the letter, just include the relevant stuff only. Tell them about your skills and experiences required for the job. You just need to give them the idea that you are experienced enough, refrain yourself from telling them everything in detail. Use short sentences with impactful words making yourself as clear as possible. Do Not Lie Honesty is actually the best policy in this case. Making up lies in your cover letter only reduces the chances of them reading your resume. So, try to be as honest as possible. Try To Be Different While matching your words according to the job description, try not to be the same as everyone one. Do avoid the common words or phrases, and point out something in you that only you have or at least try to make it sound something new. Add a little variation to make yourself stand out.

Study says this is the best color to wear for job interview and date

Study says this is the best color to wear for job interview and date Study says this is the best color to wear for job interview and date Colors mean different things and can have a deep impact on not only our moods but the people we come into contact with when we are wearing them. But can a color be as powerful as a great resume? Apparently yes.According to new research, black is the way to go for a job interview. The study surveyed  1,500 British people and 43% chose black as the optimal color for an interview. And for men, it is also the chosen color for a first date. For women, red is the color for the first date because it is associated with love. Wink, wink. But if you want to just have fun during a night out, wear silver (12% said this was the way to go.)If you weren’t aware that colors can have such a profound impact, you aren’t alone. Over 75% of those surveyed were not aware of the psychological effects of colors. After all,  wearing green can say something very different than wearing yellow in a meeting.Psychologist Dr. Becky Spelman, who was involved with the research in the study, told The Mirror, “A n awareness of the cultural and psychological factors at play when it comes to color helps us get to know ourselves better and also gives us a way to communicate.“Through the clothing and accessories we choose, we can use color to communicate, without words, a range of messages and emotions. For example, if someone dresses in very bright colors, at least on some level they are saying they want to be seen,” he added.But if you are just looking to run more miles at the gym or go up a weight set, wear blue. Apparently, it is a very motivational color.You might also enjoy… New neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happy Strangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds 10 lessons from Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule that will double your productivity The worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs 10 habits of mentally strong people

Employee Engagement Tips From Undercover Boss

Employee Engagement Tips From Undercover Boss Employee Engagement Tips From Undercover Boss Employee Engagement Tips From Undercover Boss Holzman The success of the television series Undercover Bosswould have been welcome any time, but the show came along at a uniquely fortuitous moment for our production company, Studio Lambert. It was our first show in the United States and while the benefits of a hit TV series need no explanation, there was a less obvious and, for me, entirely unexpected result that would ultimately shape our company; it would also become a valuable management lesson in cultivating employee motivation and employee engagement. Filming a CEOs Undercover Spot Checks It started on the pilot. It was a great coup for us to land Waste Management (WM) and their boss, Larry ODonnell. WMs vast and varied operations stretch across the country and encompass hundreds of collection operations, transfer stations, landfill sites, waste-to-energy and recycling plants, along with a fleet of over 21,000 vehicles. As Chief Operating Officer, Larry had oversight of all of this along with the more than 45,000 Waste Management team members who make their company run. Larry had been in his position for a few years at this point and had so much confidence in his operations and such an earnest desire to learn how he could improve them that he was willing to allow our camera crew to tag along as he went undercover within his company to spot check systems and their staff. Our team, on the other hand, was brand new. Some of us had worked together before but many of us had not. Our first day filming with Larry was also our first day filming together. We were just getting to know each other and our roles and relationships were only just beginning to be defined. As we struggled to stay on top of everything, traveling to a new city every day,shipping gear, moving staff, waking early, working late I couldnt help but compare my struggles in managing a 20-person operation with Larry ODonnells aplomb in dropping in unexpectedly (and in disguise, no less) on some of his 45,000 employees. It would not be the last time I marveled at the executive talent we were lucky enough to observe closely while filming this series. Of course, their undercover missions were not always easy ones, but suffice it to say, it takes a great deal of skill to manage the enormous companies featured on Undercover Boss. We were receiving weekly tutorials in the art of management from some of the very best bosses in America. The Power of Team Effort One lesson in particular has been especially resonant for me. I think this lesson lies at the heart of the shows appeal: the importance of appreciating and acknowledging the contributions of every member of a team. It may seem simple, and I suppose it is, but it boils down to remembering to say thank you. As we worked on our new book, Undercover Boss: Inside the TV Phenomenon That Is Changing Bosses and Employees Everywhere, we encountered the benefits and importance of this elementary idea over and over again. At the end of each episode of Undercover Boss, our bosses reveal their true identities in one-on-one meetings with the frontline employees theyve worked beside. In most cases, the boss has been impressed or moved by the employees. Often, they take the opportunity at these meetings to thank and appreciate those employees for their work. And as weve witnessed each week, these moments can be very emotional. Watching these moments first hand, I couldnt help but be moved to reflect on our staff and the contributions each person makes to this show. We obviously appreciate that each of us has a role to perform and that our success is largely the sum of those contributions, but its one thing to know it and another to say it and do it. Seeing how moved the employees are when their boss thanks them and watching as bosses see for themselves the incredibly hard-working and talented people who contribute to their teams success prompted me to take a fresh eye to our staff and to my style of management. As we produced our first show and began to assemble our team in the United States, we placed a strong emphasis on appreciating all of our team members. The idea that we are only as good as our people was fixed at the forefront of our minds. And we knew that the best way we could attract and retain them was by acknowledging and appreciating their unique contributions. Undercover Boss taught us that.
