This last year has been a year of many many changes…
Did I say many? Adjusting to the new “normal” was quite difficult at the beginning of our pandemic. Though we are now a little more familiar with our situation and the uncertainties that come with it, trying to stay motivated can be quite challenging. Sure, rolling out of bed to start your workday can seem great. However, how has it affected your productivity with the extra stress and added distractions? How has the monotonous day to day affected your motivation?
While some have returned to the office, some of us are still working remotely from home. Sure, I love the idea of being in pajamas all day. Realistically speaking, that doesn’t always provide the same motivation you get from getting dressed and heading into the office. It also seems like ANYTHING and EVERYTHING is a distraction. Whether it’s the kids, the neighbor’s dog barking, dirty laundry in the hamper, your significant other sitting next to you and working remotely as well…the list goes on.
Entourage has you covered whether you are in the office or working from home
Here are a few tips and strategies you can follow to help keep you motivated while also helping alleviate some stress:
- Create a schedule – routine, structure, ways to remember deadlines… Entourage makes moving deadlines easy. We provide you with targeted deadlines to follow
as you go. There are no fees if you change or miss a deadline. Just keep in mind when you need your yearbooks as these deadlines are tied into that date. - Establish a workplace – keep it clean and organized… Entourage makes organizing your projects easy. Our ladder feature allows you to assign pages if you’re working with a team and set deadlines. You can also create tasks using our Manage Tasks option.
- Reward yourself – treats to keep you happy… Entourage offers free proof books and free advisors package. We offer the option to request a proof book to view a physical printed copy of your yearbook. You can also request an unlimited number of PDF previews for you to review. Our Advisor package gives you 5 free custom spirit t-shirts, plus photo books for every yearbook ordered!
- Take time for yourself – That’s right-self love… at Entourage, we’re promoting connections with the ones we love. Remember to enjoy the process. While it can be a bit of work, these yearbooks will hold memories for our students, children, teachers, and colleagues to cherish and appreciate.
Don’t be too hard on yourself right now; we’re all doing our best under these unprecedented circumstances…And at Entourage, we’re here to support you when you need it!
