What’s your job? Boil it down.
When I get particularly overwhelmed with both stated and assumed expectations, I always try to go back to asking myself, “What is the bottom line that I need to deliver?”

The History Of Restaurant Employee Tip HandlingNo one knows when tipping began. But we do know that in the 1980's the IRS levied new regulations on restaurant owners to track the tips received by the employees of the restaurant.The magic number of 8% became the benchmark for servers and waiters to declare as their tipped earned. Not because it was accurate. Rather, because it was the minimum amount allowed by the IRS.The trick is this. Tipped employees in restaurants are generally not paid minimu
It is easy to get overwhelmed with things big and small, lose perspective on what’s important and let the proverbial straw break your back. After the 20th email, the tenth phone call, the 4th “IM” and the sixth decision you are asked to make today, it can feel like meltdown-time. At that point, you are not exactly poised to do your best work…
Some of the best performers I know have thoughts like this under these circumstances:
Am I pulling my weight? Is this going to impact my performance rating? Am I going to get fired? Am I putting myself at risk of getting laid off? Is my boss going to hold this against me?

It’s tempting to get caught up in others’, sometime unrealistic, expectations of us. Often we get caught up before we know it. And then we end up running ourselves into the ground, or into the hospital, trying to meet all those expectations.
It’s times like this when it’s imperative to simplify. Remind yourself of the baseline for what is expected of your position. Take some time to take a breath and check out whose expectations you are trying to meet and look at them objectively. Only then, with a clearer mind, can you make realistic choices about how you are going to choose to enhance your performance in a way that works for you and your employer.

There is a long list of career paths that may interest those who wish to help make the world a safer place for us all. Careers in police work, fire fighting, and ambulance service may come to mind. However, there are other careers –important careers- that also play an equally pivotal role, but many of those careers are lesser known than their high profile counterparts. A fire alarm technician is one of those careers.A fire alarm is a critical element of safety that each of us relies upon for our personal safety at work, home,

Modern mines collect veins of materials, which have been trapped over millions of years in the sediment. Once out in the open they can get into the ground water and move down hill with the normal erosion patterns and water flows. This is because the minerals have been buried for centuries underneath in layers from previous periods. In the old Berkeley Pit, a copper mine which is closed not far from the Sunlight Goldmine in Montana, the rain water mixing with the minerals left in the bottom of the Pit was quite toxic and contained ars

An easy way for a small business to expand its marketing budget is through cooperative advertising. Cooperative advertising, or as sometimes abbreviated Co-op, is when a producer of goods, for use by service providers or for resale, reimburses the advertising business in part or in full for advertising expenditures that involves its products. These programs are widely available because quite simply they save the producers of goods money. Bottom line is that local advertising rates available to the advertising business are at least

Recently I agreed to teach my first course to college students. I had lots of experiencing designing and conducting training and facilitation in corporations and thought I had what it took to make this a great experience for everyone, right off the bat. I had all of these grand ideas about what it could be, what I wanted it to be, for me and them both… only to get brought back to reality very quickly. I had to remind myself:
My job as an instructor is to deliver on the course objectives on the syllabus. I make students aware of the ground-rules and expectations of the class. I use a variety of ways to familiarize students with the required material so they can have a realistic opportunity to make a passing grade. I test the students on the material required, and return objective, helpful grades and feedback. I deliver thoughtful assessments and final grades at the end of the semester, on time.
Now, these objectives can be met in effective ways, that are either good-enough, or energy-draining. If I have the time and energy to design something more fun or elegant, great. And I’m not suggesting that quality be sacrificed. Putting what’s expected of you in these simple terms helps you be objective 1) when you're stressing and 2) when someone seems to be expecting more.
So, can you describe the core of your job in 100 words or less? Include those adjectives that are important to you and the job, but keep it concise. Think about it as if this were the annual objective that would be considered a no-brainer for your job, and you’ll be on your way to a clearer brain in no time.
