In busy jobs, it can be hard sometimes to stop and think.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve talked a few times in previous posts about why it\u2019s nonetheless important to do this, in order to plan, to learn, and to reflect.<\/p>\n
Taking a moment to step back can allow you to think longer term, put things in perspective, and explore new and different ideas.<\/p>\n
However, it can also be important in order to remind yourself what makes your job special for you!<\/p>\n
Being able to recall key moments, or to articulate why you are doing something, can also be key to wellbeing at work, and in life in general.<\/p>\n
So for our 52nd<\/sup> 10-Minute International Librarian exercise, think of something that motivates you in your work.<\/p>\n Has there been a moment \u2013 for example an event, a service, or a piece of feedback \u2013 that gave you energy to carry on, and even to go further?<\/p>\n If you want to, write it down, as a reminder for yourself in future.<\/p>\n You can also share it using the comments box below!<\/p>\n Good luck!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This idea relates to the\u00a0IFLA Strategy<\/a>!<\/strong>\u00a0Key Initiative 2.2: Deliver high quality campaigns, information and other communications products on a regular basis to engage and energise libraries.<\/em><\/p>\n As we publish more ideas, you will be able to view these using the\u00a0#10MinuteInternationalLibrarian<\/a>\u00a0tag on this blog, and of course on IFLA\u2019s\u00a0Ideas Store<\/a>!
