10 ways to be intentional at work
By Bravely
At some point, you’ve probably said to yourself that you want to grow in your job, develop deeper connections with the people around you, and perhaps even become an empathetic leader who inspires others. Maybe you’ve even put those goals on paper and tried to be mindful of your actions and the steps that would get you where you want to be.
But the endless distractions of our digital world and the rushed pace we’ve all set for ourselves make it easy to lose sight of what we want to achieve. If you’re reading this, maybe something has shifted, and you’ve begun to question the purpose driving your work. You’re looking for signs that you’re still working toward your goals.
At the start of 2022, our Co-Founder and President, Sarah Sheehan, sat with Meredith Haberfeld of ThinkHuman and Projjal Ghatak of OnLoop to discuss this topic.
We’ve distilled their conversation into ten valuable tips to help you become intentional at work and help you invest your time and focus in activities, projects, and relationships that support your purpose.
1. Write down your intentions to refer back to as you drive towards goals.
Setting intentions down on paper instead of just keeping them in the back of your mind or making a note on your phone is proven to help you focus your attention and remember information more easily.
Intention is the compass and goals are the clock… [When you’re] lost at sea, you can find the compass and be redirected to the path.
