• Be an active listener.

• Ask questions and listen to the answers, but don’t interrupt or try to talk over others.

• Give them the time they need to finish speaking before commenting on what they just said.

If you’re a chatterbox, it’s hard to keep track of what you’re saying when there are so many thoughts racing through your head. So instead of trying to remember everything going on in the office and being able to speak coherently about each topic, try just talking about one thing at a time. For example: “I have this great idea for improving efficiency.” Or, “I think we should focus more on customer satisfaction.” This way people can digest what they’re hearing better and give feedback directly if necessary.

Avoid rigid structures and guidelines.

The second step is to create an atmosphere that feels safe. This can be done in a variety of ways, but one of the best ways is by creating a friendly workspace environment. In other words, make sure your employees feel comfortable enough to speak up or ask questions without being afraid of being reprimanded by their superiors (or even by other employees). When people are working together in an open-minded environment where everyone has their own opinion and voice, it’s easier for them to collaborate on projects instead of fighting over who gets credit for what idea first—which means everyone wins!

Encourage in-depth, diverse and creative discussions.

In the workplace, you’re likely to find yourself at a desk with your colleagues. But that doesn’t mean you need to sit there in silence. In fact, it’s important for everyone involved in the office environment—from receptionists and administrators up through senior executives—to take part in meaningful dialogue about what makes them tick on a daily basis. Take advantage of these opportunities by asking questions like “What do we do well?” or “What are some challenges facing us right now?” These kinds of queries can help foster camaraderie within your company while also helping employees feel more connected as they work towards common goals together

Create an environment that feels safe.

In order to feel safe, you need to create an environment that’s free of tension, stress and fear. When people are afraid of making mistakes or speaking out against their colleagues, these feelings don’t go away easily. Instead of letting this happen on your team—and therefore creating a toxic culture—you can take steps to ensure everyone is comfortable expressing themselves without fearing repercussions for doing so.

One way to do this is by encouraging open collaboration between coworkers so that everyone feels included in the decision-making process. If someone has an idea about a project that could help improve workflow or productivity at work, ask them if they’d like help developing it further by sharing their thoughts with others first before moving forward with anything concretely planned out. This will allow everyone involved (including leadership) access into valuable insights which may otherwise go unnoticed due either lack thereof due lack experience/training needed beforehand; another reason why sharing ideas early rather than waiting until later leads us through better results sooner than later because we’ll already have gotten some feedback from those already involved (which means less wasted time!).

Practice a “self-monitoring” strategy.

• Make a list of the things you like to do at work and make sure they’re included in your daily schedule.

• Ask yourself if there’s anything that needs to be added or removed from your list. If so, consider how you’ll handle it. Do you need to take a break? Are there any other tasks that would help fill this space with something new?

• Keep track of how much time each task takes on average—this will show whether or not it’s efficient for me to do this particular task every day (or week).

Make exercise a regular part of your routine.

Exercise is essential for your health and well-being, but many people don’t make it a regular part of their routine. If you want to get more done in less time, try making exercise a regular part of your schedule.

Here are some tips:

• Check with your doctor before starting an exercise program or making any changes that could affect your health or wellbeing (such as adding new medications).

• Choose an activity that suits your interests and lifestyle preferences—if it’s something that makes you happy, it’ll be easier for you to stick with!

• Commit yourself by setting aside time each week when no matter what else is going on during the day, there will be no excuses allowed (e.g., “I only have 30 minutes left before dinner so I’ll just skip curling today”).

Going to your workplace can get you motivated

If you go to your workplace, it can get you motivated.

In a previous article, we discussed how much time people spend at work and how that might be affecting their productivity. But what about the other way around? Are there ways to motivate yourself while at work?

To answer this question, we need to look at what motivates people in general: money! The more money someone has on hand, the happier they are because they have more opportunities available for spending it (i.e., buying things). This is why some people become rich overnight while others struggle financially all their lives—it’s not because one person works harder than another but rather because some lucky person got an inheritance or won the lottery!

If this sounds familiar then maybe it’s time for an intervention by Dr Phil McGraw who says “money isn’t everything” so why do we treat it like gold?
