Getting too involved with work can make you lose sight of the relationships you have with your co-workers. The seclusion of being so busy can make you more introverted than normal, and it could be damaging if you let it go on for too long. Even if casually chatting in passing through the hallway isn’t your strong point make it a point to try a conversation with someone you don’t get to talk to as much at work.
Don’t let the walls of your office or cube restrict you and your networking. There’s a reason the chattier people at work get noticed more. If you make yourself more visible and available to the people you work with the more likely they’ll watch your back or watch your progress…which could mean a step forward in advancing your position.
