Focus on Yourself

When working in an office environment, it’s  easy to get caught up in distractions like office competition, other colleagues’ work, and more.

An important piece of advice would be to focus on yourself and your work… no one else’s.  At the end of the way, you’re going to want to leave the office knowing that you put forth the best work you could have, and you’ll take comfort in knowing that you did you job.

If you spend your days caught up in what everyone else is doing (or getting distracted by trying to compete, or just plain getting distracted — we all know it happens), you won’t be performing at your best.
