Tricks To Help You Get Ahead At Work

Am sure you are like "really"? Yes really, its a break from beauty and a dive into general lifestyle. I actually found this on a research, and I must say its actually interesting and albeit hilarious in some cases.... And trust me to give my view, enjoy.

Schedule a Vacay; It sounds counterintuitive, but studies have shown people get a big happiness boost before they go on vacation. And when you're happy, you're going to be a better worker. Schedule a bunch of mini-trips to draw out those feel-good vibes.
Analysis: Yes, this is something I have seen over the years. The thought of your leave be it casual or not, actually sends happy hormones to your brain and this feeling goes on even when you get back to work.

Get Bangs; Eighty percent of the time when you look at someone, you look in their eyes. And experts say hair that flops in your peepers can signal to your boss that you have something to hide—or that you're trying to be flirtatious, which isn't exactly professional. Opt for bangs that draw attention to your face—without covering your gorgeous eyes. Analysis: Nah, you can't wear bangs like forever. #eyebrows up#

Suck Up to Your Boss; Yes, it's annoying, but research published in the Journal of Management Studies found that people who engage in a little brown-nosing are more likely to move up the ladder—and feel happier in the process. Don't be insincere (your boss will see right through it), but try complimenting her on her cute shoes one day. It's good for your career—and your health.
Analysis: Maybe, if your boss isn't so horrible, maybe you'll feel good about it and just maybe you won't get gossiped about. But then who cares?

Watch YouTube Videos; Research proves that people perform better at work when they're in a good mood. So when you're tempted to "bitch" about a coworker, watch a quick funny video to get back into a better frame of mind.
Analysis: Yes, get your self engaged with extra-curricular activities such as browsing, reading good books, or even doing crosswords. But, it should be at your discretion. Get Off Your Butt A new study published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine found that exercising during work hours can make you more productive. Can't hit the gym on your lunch hour?

Slip outside for a 15-minute power walk instead. You'll come back to work feel pumped up and ready to tackle the rest of the day.
Analysis: Yes, its a power booster.

Play Office Politics; We know, we know—they suck. But according to a poll conducted by the Robert Half International staffing firm, nearly 60 percent of workers felt that immersing yourself in office politics is necessary to get ahead. So play nice with your jerky cubemate—you can gripe about her at home later.
Analysis: Yes, it sucks but it could also be called being tactful.Lol

Multitask Like Crazy; If you're awesome at checking your email while talking to your man and putting on lipstick, you should take those skills to work. A study published in the journal Human Performance found that people who are good at doing a few things at once are less likely to suffer job burnout if they juggle tasks at work, too.
Analysis: Emphatic YES, it does work. You should actually try it.

Say "Thank You"; A new study from the USC Marshall School of Business found that saying "thank you" after your boss gives you feedback automatically makes her think you're more intelligent and competent.
Analysis: Yes, it pays to be very polite even when your boss always seem to be grouchy and your colleagues aren't team players.
