**Sets alarm for 6am, checks email, goes to bed**

**Wakes up to sound of alarm, turns off alarm, checks email** 

Does this routine sound familiar? I can’t be the only one that is nearly attached at the hip to my phone, checking email constantly. Email has been arguably the #1 form of communication for business since the early 2000’s. With email being a key piece in the way we communicate, there are certain “do’s” and “don’ts” we should be following while emailing at work:

Congrats! After all the time you spent perfecting your resume, networking with people, and researching the company, you landed an interview — and nailed it. The next day, you were offered the job (and gleefully accepted it). 

The hard part is over, right?

Edith Wharton once said, “Ah, good conversation — there’s nothing like it, is there? The air of ideas is the only air worth breathing.”

Ms. Wharton had a way with words (written and otherwise), but she would likely be horrified to know that most of our daily conversations nowadays start with shorthand texts or three-line emails.

In a given week, many of us spend more time at our work desks than we do hanging out with loved ones, cooking, exercising — maybe even sleeping. So why is it that many people don’t spend time thinking about and improving their work environment?

The good news is that when it comes to organizing your desk, a little can go a long way. For example, did you know that incorporating the color green into your desk’s decor can make you more creative?

Hey there, marketer. I’m curious … what’s really going in that day-to-day work life of yours?

When you say you’re working from home, are you actually being productive? When you have a deadline, do you wait until the last minute? What are you actually doing on LinkedIn? It’s time to speak the truth.

It happens at every office: One person’s shivering in an overcoat while a nearby coworker is totally comfortable.

But these office temperature wars aren’t just an inconvenience — almost a third of employees lose productivity because they aren’t comfortable with the temperatures in their offices. The fact is, temperature affects people very differently thanks to a number of factors, including gender, clothing, and metabolic rate.

Thanks to the TV show The Office, many of us have heard of the classic “stapler in Jell-O” trick. But what other, less conventional pranks are out there to add some color to an otherwise average day at the office?

Have you ever walked into an office — your own, a friend’s, or somewhere you were visiting — and immediately felt like that was precisely where you wanted to be? People are working, going about their business, and they’re happy … at their day jobs.

Yes, it feels good to feel comfortable saying hello — and even sitting down for lunch — with your fellow coworkers. But did you know it can also make you better at your job?

Having friends at work directly correlates with engagement and productivity at the office. According to Gallup’s State of the American Workplace report, strong social connections at the office can make you more productive, and can even make you feel more passionate about your work and less likely to quit — and these are only a handful of the potential benefits.

Sometimes, I wish Google would just read my mind.

I usually have this thought after trying variation after variation of pretty specific search terms, like “recent social media statistics,” without finding what I’m looking for. You’d think those search terms would return relevant results — it’s not like I typed in “cool shoes” and hoped for the best. But they don’t — and after a few attempts, I just want to hand over the reins to Google and say, “Can you please just find me what I’m looking for?”

Alright, so Google can’t quite read your mind (yet …), but they do have lots of operators in place to help you find more relevant search results.
