Module 3: Thriving in the Workplace
CREATE YOUR FUTURE
CREATE YOUR FUTURE
Starting your day by establishing objectives is a proactive way to ensure that those objectives are seen through. Don’t fall victim to procrastination or distraction. If you want to be successful, you have to alter your mindset to that of a successful person.
As an intern, your time is valuable and often limited. That’s why building an action plan at the start of each day or week is one of the most powerful habits you can develop.
Your action plan doesn’t have to be complicated. Start by writing down 3–5 priorities you want to accomplish. Break bigger tasks into manageable steps. Most importantly, check in with yourself—what’s working? What needs to be adjusted?
“When people establish their own objectives, they are more committed to the achievement of those objectives.”
-JB Fuqua
