The Sensations of a Perfect Day\u00a0<\/h2>\n
On a perfect day at work, you feel confident. Elite.\u00a0 You feel like\u00a0The Genuine Article<\/em>, and you know that\u2019s how others see you.\u00a0The day flows. The clock is your friend. Every hour represents opportunity.\u00a0<\/p>\n On a perfect day, the dulcet sounds of the workplace draw you in. Whether it\u2019s the electric sounds of office equipment or birds chirping outside your home office window. The bustle of the city or the soft murmuring of a coffee shop can sound like home\u00a0on a perfect day at work.\u00a0In them, you hear a calling that fills your cup and makes a difference in the world.<\/p>\n You also hear good reports from co-workers and clients. And you can hear what people are really saying because you\u2019re firing on all cylinders. You hear about problems that you can solve\u00a0without breaking your stride. \u00a0<\/p>\n And what do you\u00a0see<\/strong>\u00a0on a perfect day at work?\u00a0<\/p>\n You see the faces of talented people who are bright, interesting, reliable, and inspiring. People who vibe with the right mix of teamwork and competitive spirit. \u00a0<\/p>\n You see a workspace that is clean, safe, elegant, and bristling with technology that hums along\u00a0without a hitch. Technology that helps you get\u00a0where you want to go. \u00a0<\/p>\n You see beautiful data visualized in charts and dashboards that tell the story of recent victories. All lights are green. All systems go. \u00a0<\/p>\n You\u2019re also looking at a schedule that is filled with exciting appointments for weeks to come. But you\u2019ve also scheduled time to rest and recharge because you know how to work effectively and efficiently.\u00a0<\/p>\n On a perfect day at work, everything you touch turns\u00a0to gold<\/strong>! \u00a0<\/p>\n Okay, not really. But on a perfect day, the keys you press, the pages you turn, and the notes you take feel purposeful and promising. You give a presentation and it\u2019s so perfect that clicking through your slide deck feels like hitting a home run. You press firmly when you underline an item on the whiteboard because you simply know that you\u2019re ideas move mountains.<\/p>\n Why can\u2019t every day be like that?\u00a0<\/p>\n For most of us, perfect days are the exception, rather than the rule. We have jobs and tools that our ancestors could only imagine. And yet, we often waste countless hours enslaved to outdated management styles and\u00a0the\u00a0idiosyncrasies<\/em>\u00a0of our\u00a0technology<\/strong>. \u00a0<\/p>\n Researchers find that the greatest causes of work-related stress are usually poor management and frustrations with workplace technology.\u00a0<\/p>\n And guess what? Executives and employees often disagree about the effectiveness and efficiency of workplace technology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
