Hello Readers! If you have been following me lately, you have probably noticed that I have been slightly off my game lately! It'll get better, I promise, so make sure you stick around. Today I have a friend of mine sharing some solutions to five common "Working Girl Problems." Vanessa, from A City Girl's Guide To Life, has been nice enough to take the time to write this really great article. I enjoyed reading it, and I hope you do as well.
I’d like to thank Beth for having me guest post and
for the opportunity to share with you some fantastic hacks for surviving your
9-to-5. For many of you who have graduated or finally landed your dream
job, sometimes the daily grind can just be too much to handle, especially if
the subway is running behind & your feet are quickly getting tired
of your heels.
Keep reading to find out how I fix daily flops & keep my cool on
crazy days!
1.#buzzed - Take it easy on the caffeine.
While there are certain benefits to drinking caffeine in the morning, the jury
still seems to be out on the benefits of more than a couple cups of coffee and
pretty much energy drinks as a whole. Skip the controversy and wake yourself up
with a chilled cup of apple juice as studies have shown it might be just as effective.
2. #isitfiveoclockyet- Take a brain vacation.
Every twenty minutes, look at something else. Every morning I make a check-list
for myself so that I give my eyes a break from the harsh computer screen
lighting and re-evaluate my goals for the day. By 5 o'clock I have a good sense
of how productive I was and what tasks should be a priority for the following
day.
3. #onewomanbookclub - Plan for some light reading.
Interviews start late, trains are delayed and lunch breaks can be lonely. Pack
a book you've been dying to get through (or start a new one) for your travels
throughout the day and you'll never be bored or need to look at your iPhone
screen unless it's absolutely necessary.
You
could probably try living without these things at your desk but I wouldn't
recommend it.
4. #instaoffice - Organize your desk. There
are probably a lot of things you don't actually need to hold onto. Here are nine things you
probably should have on hand. Also, a clean and organized workspace makes for a
much more relaxed employee. Try it!
5. #cheers - Be Happy Hour ready! Aside from the items
above, you'll never need to miss an office bonding Happy Hour or panic when
that cute guy in Accounting asks you out for a drink as long as you have a
fresh shade of gloss or tinted balm, a powder brush, shine topper or spot
concealer and pressed powder. Cover any unsightly blemishes, gently dust your
face, carefully rub color onto the apples of your cheeks and you're ready to
head out again without having to head home first!
