Have a Sunday check-in

For a speedy way to get to grips with your attitude towards work, Calli Louis, co-founder of coaching and training consultancy Working Wonder, suggests that you “sense-check how you feel about the work week ahead of you on a Sunday evening. Do you feel excited and happy or anxious and unhappy? If [it’s] the latter you need to be proactive in doing something about it.”

Shake up your working style

It’s easy to get stuck in a rut when it comes to our work routine, but if you find yourselves tackling your to-do list in the same way every day, Louis suggests that you “switch things up by pushing yourself to try new things and experiment with the way in which you approach tasks”. So, if you love to plan things carefully before getting started, she says, “what would happen if you didn’t overthink something and dived right in? Don’t be afraid to take risks and be creative”.

Update your CV and LinkedIn

Even if you’re not job hunting right now, by tackling your CV sooner rather than later, you’re putting yourself in a better position when that dream role does come up. And if you have a LinkedIn profile, City CV founder Victoria McLean suggests that you should “make sure your profile is up to date, you have a good professional photo, you’re actively engaging and sharing your knowledge and you’re connecting with recruiters and other people in your field.”
