Squiggly Shortcut: Discover Hidden Career Opportunities in 5 Minutes a Day

You don't need to find hours every day to invest in your career development. You just need to find five minutes and a little bit of curiosity and you can make a lot of progress. In this squiggly career shortcut, I'm going to talk about five easy everyday ideas that are going to make a really big difference to your development. So idea number one, start to reflect on your very small successes at the end of every day. Your very small successes are those little things that you do well that we often miss because we're so busy and we're always moving on to the next thing.

But if you can start to create an intention, a habit where you stop and see those successes, it is a way that we stop. the inner critic that tells us what we didn't do and what we're very, not very good at. And it is a small way that we start to sort of build our belief. And it's that belief that helps us do bigger and better things. So the more regularly you reflect on your successes, the easier it becomes to do the bigger and better things that are really going to drive your development.

So that's idea number one. Maybe just put it in your diary so you don't forget to do it. Idea number two is to start to end your week with an even better if. So when we're moving from one week into another, sometimes we lose the learnings of the week and we just operate on autopilot. And I say that as someone that often does it.
