AJ's 30 Second Rule

About Love

It is really easy to come to work and not take notice of people. Yes, most of us come to work slightly disgruntled with a single mission and purpose: "To tolerate the hours ahead so that I can get back home!" And a few lucky ones out there love their job so much that they spend more time at work then at home. However, love it or hate it, disgruntled or overly cozy, it is really effortless to over look our coworkers. The overly cozy perceive coworkers as close family. So close in fact that sometimes they may forget to say hello or good morning. And the disgruntled, well the disgruntled are so tightly focused on getting back home that they often walk through the work day with blinders on!

So...AJ's 30 second rule. Depending on the size of your work environment, try to spend 30 seconds with everyone that you can. A simple, "Hey, how was your weekend!?!" will often do the trick. It is just enough time spent to connect to your coworkers, and gain their trust and loyalty. This communicates interest, care, and love. As a result, people will perceive you differently, and you might begin to be a bit less disgruntled. And for the overly cozy, AJ's 30 second rule helps you never forget a key element to making work so pleasurable. And if you do not get the opportunity to spend at least 30 seconds with everyone in day, don't feel bad. Over the course of a week, in most cases, you will have reached everyone!

A Little Love Goes a Long Way when you spend a little time!
