10 Ideas to Make Today a Kick Ass Friday

1. Embrace the day and stop saying, "I'm glad tomorrow is the weekend -- it's finally here."
2. Pick one project you are working on and make a focused effort to take a giant step to move that project forward.
3. Consider removing all meetings from any Friday so everyone can drive business on the last day of the work week.
4. Plan to come in Monday renewed, reinvigorated, and thrilled to tackle a new week.
5. Call a customer or client today to thank them for their business this year.
6. Make lunch count. Who do you need to take to lunch today? Client? Boss? Employee who never gets to go out for lunch?
7. Create a list of 5 things you must get done by next Friday. Go for some hard stuff.
8. Make today a no whining, no bitching, no complaint day. Ask everyone to focus on the positive.
9. Refuse to listen to the news or read a paper. Take a day off from the "News Terrorists."
10. Give your best effort until the very last minute of your work day……no coasting. THEN you can celebrate a great work week.
