With Focus and a Smile, You Can Keep Moving Forward

Create Many Tasks in Fewer Steps

Dorothea Dix took on an astounding number of tough tasks to improve society and raise awareness about the less fortunate. Your tasks might or might not be taking you toward such lofty goals, but keeping them in Insightly gives you an easy way to manage and monitor them. If you’ve got many tasks to enter, typing them into Insightly can be a task, in and of itself. Instead of entering so many tasks field-by-field, you can use a spreadsheet program to enter them, copy and paste them, or use calculations to more quickly create them in a file which can be saved in CSV format for importing to Insightly. With columns for task name, due date, responsible user, and other available fields, you can import them to create the Insightly task list in just a minute or two!

Don’t Let Obstacles Stop You.

Joan Rivers encountered many setbacks in her professional and personal life and continued to push through to success. In order to move your business forward, know where you’re headed and keep moving toward your goals. That doesn’t mean you need to stubbornly beat your head against a wall when something isn’t working; instead, try to have a sense of humor about the failures and flops and then find creative solutions around the roadblocks. This could mean finding another path, getting some help, or tweaking your goal a bit as you go along. As long as you’re moving toward a destination, you’re making progress!

Smile! It Can Make You Happier.

Maya Angelou knew where smiles count most, just as Joan Rivers made them count as often as possible. The act of smiling, even if forced, is known to improve mood and reduce stress levels as your brain reacts to the expression on your face. This could even set a chain reaction of events, since when your brain is in a positive state it “performs significantly better than at negative, neutral or stressed. Your intelligence rises, your creativity rises, your energy levels rise.” This video explains the idea and will likely put a smile on your face as it helps you accomplish a little more today.
