August

Ah, August. The month of sunshine, grilling, and vacations. A time to relax and soak up the last few weeks of summer. But what if I told you that August is also a great time to make some serious progress on your career? Don't believe me? Read on and I'll tell you why.

The kids are back in school.

With the kids back in school, you'll have more time to focus on your work. No more having to help with homework or drive them to soccer practice. You can finally get some peace and quiet to get your work done.

It's still summer.

The weather in August is still warm and sunny, which means you can enjoy the outdoors while you work. Take your laptop to the park or sit on your patio and soak up the sun while you get your work done.

There's less competition.

Many people take vacations in August, which means there will be less competition for your time and attention. You'll be able to get more face time with clients and get your ideas heard more easily.

It's a chance to reset.

After the hustle and bustle of summer, August is a great time to take a step back and reassess your career. What are your goals? What are you doing to achieve them? What can you do to improve your productivity?

So, if you're looking to make some serious progress on your career, don't sleep on August. It's the perfect time to get ahead and set yourself up for success in the fall.

Here are a few tips for making the most of August:

• Set some goals. What do you want to achieve by the end of August? Write down your goals and create a plan to achieve them.
• Make a schedule. Block out time in your schedule each day to work on your goals. Stick to your schedule as much as possible.
• Find a mentor. A mentor can provide you with guidance and support as you work towards your goals.
• Take breaks. It's important to take breaks throughout the day to clear your head and refocus. Go for a walk, read a book, or chat with a friend.
• Reward yourself. When you reach a goal, reward yourself with something you enjoy. This will help you stay motivated and on track.
