While it may be harder than ever to buckle down and stay motivated at work, this is the time when you should be doing it the most.

It doesn\u2019t have to be extensive\u2014but it does have to be realistic! Think hard about what you really <\/em>think you\u2019re capable of checking off your to-do list so that you can realize those wins and keep your motivation level high.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n When you do make progress toward your goals, celebrate! Make a pledge to reward yourself with everything from an indulgent meal to some extra me time as you head along the path to reaching your objectives.
