Take some time to think about the results or progress you made this week on particular projects, with other team members, or cross-functionally. Add links to developments in projects or @ mention those who helped in your success. Go ahead, it’s okay to brag!

Inevitably, there will be parts of projects or work efforts where you’ll need more guidance. Whether it is finding the right person to answer questions or give direction, or a few links to another document that can help, it’s important to communicate your needs to aid you in getting the job done successfully.

Focusing on a few particular efforts for the following week can help you jumpstart your Monday. This can be unfinished tasks, new projects, or time set aside to brainstorm on new or existing goals. You can then measure your progress by matching them to last week’s areas of focus to measure progress. And you can add special notes of things discussed with your manager as well as helpful links for the future.
