Motivation Tip

Choose your three most important tasks each day. Getting off to a good start when you’re trying to get back into work mode can be a challenge. Streamline your day by focusing on just three priority tasks. This can help you feel productive and get you back in the swing of things without feeling too overwhelmed.
