We all go through phases when our job feels more "meh" than magical. But don’t worry, rekindling that spark is totally possible! Here’s how you can fall in love with your job again.. 1. Rediscover Your Why.. remember why you chose this career in the first place. What excited you about it? Reconnecting with your passion can reignite that spark. It’s like revisiting your first date - find those butterflies again. 2. Set New Goals.. challenge yourself with new goals and projects. A fresh objective can give you a sense of purpose and direction. Think of it as adding a new plot twist to your work story - yes, just like the 2nd season of any Netflix shows. 3. Mix Up Your Routines.. sometimes all you need is a change of scenery or a tweak in your routine. Rearrange your workspace, take your laptop to a new spot, or try a new work schedule. Even superheroes need to switch up their game plan once in a while - just like how Deadpool needed Wolverine to save his world. 4. Learn Something New.. take on new learning opportunities. Attend a workshop, sign up for an online course, or read up on industry trends. Gaining new skills can make your job feel fresh and exciting. Plus, you’ll have new bragging rights at the next team meeting. 5. Take Care of Yourself.. ensure you’re not burning out. Take breaks, prioritize self-care, and maintain a healthy work-life balance. A well-rested, happy you is more likely to fall back in love with your job. 6. Have Fun.. inject a bit of fun into your workday. Whether it’s a joke with a colleague, a fun playlist, or a quirky desk accessory, small joys can make a big difference. Why so serious? Let’s put a smile on that work space! Falling in love with your job again is all about making small changes and finding new ways to connect with your work. So, go ahead and reignite that spark! #Suppagood #CareerGrowth #JobSatisfaction #ProfessionalDevelopment #WorkplaceHappiness #EmployeeEngagement #LoveYourJob #WorkLifeBalance

It’s been four months since I took the leap into my new role, and the journey has been nothing short of transformative (cue the violins 🎻). In this brief yet impactful time, I’ve gained not just professional growth but also a newfound sense of personal freedom. That workplace anxiety and sense of dread every Monday…a thing of the past.😬 The flexibility, the refreshing absence of micromanagement, and the unspoken trust that “It will get done” (it always does get done) have worked wonders for my productivity. Sure, figuring out the business's ins and outs has been a bit of a speed bump, but it’s all part of the adventure, right?🤪 What’s truly remarkable, though, is how this flexibility has strengthened my bond with my family. Sneaking out to watch my daughter’s netball game—even if it’s just for a quick cameo—has made all the difference. It really does support the old adage that “showing up” is 90% of the battle. These small, seemingly insignificant moments might appear trivial to some, but they’re absolutely priceless to me and make for a balanced, fulfilling life. I value that above all else. So, I’m curious—have any of you experienced something similar lately? How has flexibility in your work-life impacted your productivity and personal connections? #WorkLifeBalance #Flexibility #FamilyTime #Traxtion #Productivity #CareerGrowth

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗝𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲: 𝗜𝘀 𝗜𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝘁? We’ve all been there: the alarm goes off at 6 AM, and the race begins. You rush through breakfast prep, get the kids ready for school, check a few work emails, and by 9 AM, you're already running on empty. Then comes the long day of meetings, deadlines, and a never-ending list of tasks that drain you completely. By the time the workday ends, the thought of spending time with your family or even doing something for yourself feels like an uphill battle. Sound familiar? For years, I was also caught in that same cycle—giving all my time and energy to work, but rarely getting anything back in return. I felt stuck, overworked, and exhausted. Then something changed. I started looking deeper into the skills I already had—those unique talents I didn’t even realize were valuable. And that’s when I realized I didn’t need to give all my time to work to make a living. I could do less, work smarter, and still get more out of life. If you’re feeling like your time is slipping through your fingers, it might be time to take a step back and reflect. What are you truly great at? How can you use those skills to create the life you want? Your time is valuable—don’t let it slip away. #WorkLifeBalance #WomenInBusiness #TimeFreedom #CorporateLife #EntrepreneurMindset #RemyaKrishnakripa #QueenshipWithRemya

Ever tossed a pebble into a pond and watched the ripples spread? The corporate world works the same way! Each action we take creates a ripple effect that can influence our colleagues, teams, and even the whole organization. Here are a few ways you can make waves—intentionally or not: 🖋 The Knowledge Ripple 🧠: Share your expertise. Whether it's through a presentation, a blog post, or just a casual chat over coffee, spreading knowledge can inspire innovation and boost team performance. Remember: Even your quirky Excel shortcut can save someone's day! 🖋The Attitude Ripple 😄: Bring a positive attitude to work. Your optimism can be contagious, lifting the spirits of those around you. A smile can go a long way in making Monday mornings a bit more bearable. Warning: High levels of positivity might cause an unexpected surge in team productivity. 🖋The Innovation Ripple 💡: Encourage creativity. Suggest new ideas, no matter how outlandish they might seem. One crazy idea can spark a chain reaction leading to groundbreaking solutions. Fun fact: The post-it note was invented because someone thought, "What if glue was not so sticky?" 🖋The Support Ripple 🤝: Offer a helping hand. Supporting a colleague through a tough project or lending an ear can create a culture of collaboration and trust. Side effect: You might become the office's unofficial therapist. Invest in a comfy chair. 🖋The Efficiency Ripple ⏱️: Implement time-saving processes. Streamlining workflows can increase productivity and free up time for more strategic tasks. Tip:Create dedicated channels for specific projects. Say goodbye to the email avalanche and hello to organized chaos. 🖋The Humor Ripple 😂: Don't underestimate the power of laughter. A well-timed joke can defuse tension and create a more enjoyable work environment. Caution: Dad jokes can backfire. Use at your own risk. Remember, every ripple starts with a single action. Whether you're sharing knowledge, spreading positivity, or just being the office comedian, your actions matter. Let's create ripples that inspire, innovate, and maybe even make our workplace a bit more fun! 🌟 #thoughts? #mondaythoughts #rippleeffect #knowledge #corporate #efficiency #support #linkedin

My business had mad potential… No joke, things were really moving. My brand was becoming that brand, and I was carrying it like a boss. But guess what? I stopped… I just wasn’t vibing with it anymore. You know that feeling when something no longer excites you? Yeah, that was me. I wasn’t looking forward to anything about it, so I took a step back to figure out what really lit me up inside. And you know what I found? Being an executive assistant brings me crazy joy! I know, I know. You’re probably thinking, how does helping other people give you that kind of buzz? But hear me out: ➝ I get to work on different projects and learn something new—keeps my brain fresh! ➝ I’ve worked across different industries: electrical engineering, agriculture, production— The insights I’ve gained are next-level. ➝ Going virtual? Game changer! Meeting new people without meeting them? Yeah, (introverts like me get it 😄) ➝ And let me tell you, when someone comes back and says my support helped them hit their goals? There’s no better feeling. For real, it’s what keeps me going. So why am I sharing this? Because I want you to know two things: ➜ It’s 100% okay to keep searching until you find your thing—don’t let anyone rush your process. ➜ If you’re a coach or business owner, I’m not just another assistant. I get the hustle: ➝ The late nights with your brain spinning about your next move. ➝ The feeling of juggling everything and losing sight of important things (and people) in your life. ➝ The frustration of putting your all into something and getting rejected or dealing with difficult clients. ➝ And let’s not even get started on the stress of finding reliable help—especially when one wrong hire can mess up years of your hard work. So, if you’re looking for an assistant, a productivity partner, or just someone to help you level up, that’s me. Making your life easier and stress-free is what I do for a living. 🎀Hit the link in my bio for a FREE Productivity Assessment. We’ll go over your schedule, your time, your goals, and come up with a plan that gives you that much-needed work-life balance and get you back to doing what you love!

[𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐭 & 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬] Our Fast & Curious series is back! For this special edition in May, let's have a chat with Chau Quach on work-life balance, especially in the context of working in a fast-paced industry like PR. ❓Do you consider yourself a team player with outings or more of a productivity pro in a quiet zone? 🔹I'm a part-time introvert. For creative work, I love collaboration, but for repetitive tasks, I think I'm more productive in a quiet zone. ❓Team with a bunch of extroverts or a group of hilarious introverts? 🔹Hilarious introverts are my tribe. They keep things fun without overwhelming my energy. ❓Dress code: pajamas or power suit? 🔹Pajamas are my go-to. ❓Flexible schedule with weekend hustle or fixed hours and forget it? 🔹I'm all about that flexible schedule with a weekend hustle. Routine is fine, but flexibility is freedom. ❓Big-name clients with crazy deadlines or chill projects with more free time? 🔹Crazy deadlines with big-name clients get my adrenaline pumping because high stakes make work exciting, right? ❓High-pressure pitch or chill press release? 🔹I perform best under pressure, preferring to get things done quickly. So, a high-pressure pitch is right up my alley. Until next time... for another round of Fast & Curious with another Jolener! #Jolen #JolenConsulting #pragency #agencylife #fastncurious

🧠💼 Ever wondered how much of your life is gobbled up by work? Let’s break it down with a sprinkle of humor and a dash of science! When you sit back (perhaps during one of those rare moments between Zoom calls or while pretending to listen to your boss in yet another meeting) and think about how much time you actually spend working, what numbers pop into your head? 30 hours? 40 hours? Or are you among the many who just throw their hands up and say, "Too many, I've lost count!" 😅 According to the math wizards (a.k.a. scientists), if you're clocking in a standard 40-hour workweek, that’s a whopping 2,080 hours a year! And if you’re a parent, the math gets even crazier. Juggling work and family can feel like trying to solve a Rubik's cube blindfolded while riding a unicycle. But here’s a fun fact to keep you motivated: Over a 50-year career, you’ll spend about 90,000 hours working. That’s equivalent to watching the entire series of your favorite TV show about 10,000 times! 📺 Now, let’s add a positive spin to this. Have you heard about job crafting? It’s a concept from positive psychology that’s all about making your job more engaging and meaningful. Think of it as DIY-ing your work life. 🔨✨ Here’s how you can start job crafting: Task Crafting: Tweak the tasks you do. Maybe there’s a way to swap those boring reports for something more exciting. Relationship Crafting: Change up your interactions. Build stronger connections with colleagues who uplift you (or at least make you laugh during those endless meetings). Cognitive Crafting: Shift how you perceive your job. Focus on the aspects that align with your values and passions. So, what’s the takeaway? Make sure you love what you do—or at least find some joy in it—because that’s a lot of hours! And remember, a little laughter and some job crafting can go a long way in making those hours a bit more bearable. 🤣 #WorkLifeBalance #ScienceOfWork #ParentLife #HumorInTheOffice #JobCrafting #PositivePsychology

😑 It may look like I’m out of the office, but truth be told, my mind is always in work mode 😑 Even when I try to disconnect—whether it’s during a break, at home, or when I’m frustrated with a project—I find my thoughts constantly drifting back to work. My mind keeps turning over ideas, solving problems, or planning the next step, even when I’d love to just switch off. One look at my open fingers, and you can probably see what’s on my mind. It’s as if my thoughts are spilling out, always in motion, always working through something. But I’ve learned that to refresh and come back stronger, I need to consciously stop thinking about work, even for a short time. When I do, I return with more clarity and focus, and my productivity skyrockets. It's not always easy, but it’s a journey I’m on. How do you manage to reset and recharge? P.S. Yep, that’s me sitting in my office right now, hands open, mind still going! 😅 #WorkLifeBalance #MentalReset #Productivity #BusinessDevelopment #BreakTimeSolutions #GrowthMindset
