Treat yourself to a starbucks coffee!
August 9, 2006
Reward yourself even if your telecommuting employer doesn’t. A job well done needs to be recognized even if it isn’t by the employer.
Ideas for how to reward yourself:
A book you’ve been dying to read
Something sweet to eat
Flowers for your office
A more comfortable office chair for those long hours
Manicure
The list could go on and on! Even if you only treat yourself to a “job well done reward” once a month you deserve that recognition.
Need someone else to give you a pat on the back for your hard work? Share your successful work week with a friend who telecommutes! We understand how hard it is to work at home and how the lack of support can be a downer sometimes.
I’ve seen successful telecommuters on TelecommutingMoms Message Board sharing their successes as a telecommuter and everyone jumps on board with an excited congrats!
Remember how great it felt outside the home if the boss came by and said “Suzie, you did an excellent job this week”? I sure do and it always made me more motivated and excited to do my job. And then when they went that extra mile and gave me a special treat – well boy howdy that was a great feeling!
So don’t be afraid to pat yourself on the back and reward yourself — if no one else is going to do it then we need to!
