It’s back to the grind令人厭倦的苦事，苦差事 of work, and there’s a whole year ahead of前面 us.

Instead of feeling uninspired不精彩的；乏善可陳的 and bummed不高興的；煩惱 about the long stretch伸展, 伸出 before the next holiday season, take some time to refocus your energy at the office.

The best way to do this is to set small, accomplishable可達成 work goals.

For instance, someone who takes on too much responsibility might focus on delegating（尤指會議的）代表 successfully in the coming year. An employee who is shy in meetings might try to speak out more. Someone who is opinionated might try to be a bit more subdued柔和.

Setting these goals is a way to stay engaged and active at work.

From there take an annual career physical.

Ask yourself: do I get paid enough? Does my work challenge me? Am I learning and contributing? If most of the answers aren’t yes, it might be time to look for a new job. If that’s the case, assess the job possibilities in your area and get to know key players locally in your profession. Looking for a new position might be just what you need.

If you don’t need a major career overhaul徹底檢修，大修；改造, look around you. It might sound simple, but one thing that drains employees is a messy desk and office. A cluttered雜亂，淩亂 desk will keep your mind cluttered雜亂，淩亂 too.

復活節（拉丁語：Pascha）
