The 10 Habits of a Resourceful Person

Do you want to be resourceful? It seems like a simple question, but it can have complex answers. In this blog post, we will explore 10 habits that make people resourceful and provide some examples!

What is a resourceful person and how can you become one?

A resourceful person is someone who has a sense of curiosity, optimism, and determination to find solutions. They are also someone who knows how to stay resourceful in the face of adversity and solve problems with their own creativity.

They are able to make the best out of difficult situations - they don't give up easily. In order to become resourceful you need these skills:

- Curiosity

- Creativity

- Optimism/Sense of humor

- Determination

Now that you know this, what are some ways to become resourceful? Here are ten habits of resourceful people:

10 Habits of a Resourceful Person

1. They don't let challenges stop them.

A resourceful person doesn't rely on a particular thing or tool to complete their task, they simply find another way.

This could be as simple as using a sticky note instead of a whiteboard for brainstorming ideas and moving past the limitation because you can still get your point across!

2. They know how to think outside the box.

Thinking outside of the box is important because it allows you to find new ways to solve problems that might not be readily available in your environment at any given time.

At work, if an employee can't access a resource like Adobe Illustrator, for example, he or she could use a different resource like Canva instead.

3. They teach themselves new skills.

A resourceful person doesn't wait for someone else to give them the tools and knowledge they need, they take it upon themselves to do so!

For example, if you wanted to learn how to use Adobe Illustrator but didn't have access at work or school you could try watching Youtube videos on different functions of the program. Or, one could simply search Google for tutorials.

This is an example of being resourceful because not only have you learned how to use Adobe Illustrator, but you didn't have to wait until someone gets around to teaching you.

4. They naturally adapt to their environment.

A resourceful person knows how to change up their current situation so they can complete the task at hand, whether it be as simple as moving your desk or finding a new workspace entirely.

For example, if there is something on your desk that you don't need but are too resourceful to just throw away, you could try putting it in a box and hiding it out of sight until an opportunity arises to use the resource.

5. They use their skills to help others.

Being resourceful can be a very rewarding and satisfying process, which is why it's important for people to share what they've learned with others!

A resourceful person will often teach or offer knowledge in order to help others. For example, say you found out a program that helped you complete a project, why not share it with co-workers or classmates because chances are they might be able to use the resource as well!

6. They seek out solutions

A resourceful person doesn't only use the tools they have been given but rather seeks alternative options when it comes to problem-solving and completing tasks.

For example, if you were given access to a program that was missing some of the tools or functions that it should have, then you may choose to go online and find an alternative resource.

This is resourceful because not only does this give you more options when it comes to completing your task but also makes sure all bases are covered so there aren't any problems in the future.

7. They are great at communication.

A resourceful person knows how to get their message across clearly without wasting too many words, whether it be through text or speech.

For example, if you had a point that was hard for people to understand just use diagrams instead of complex terms. This will help them better visualize what you're trying to get across.

Communication is resourceful in itself because you're able to get your point across without being too wordy and losing people's attention.

8. They know their limits and refuse to waste what they have.

It's important for resourceful people to know what they're good at and take advantage of it, which also means knowing when to step away from a task or project before things start going wrong!

For example, let's say you were given the responsibility of baking cookies but had no idea how to do so. You could either research the steps you need or simply step away from the task and ask for assistance instead of wasting ingredients.

9. They make the best of what they have.

Resourceful people know how to use whatever resource is available at their disposal, whether it be a computer or pen and paper.

This is a great trait that they have, as they are able to be flexible and resourceful even in the most difficult situations.

10. They know how to ask for help.

Being resourceful is a great thing, but there are times when you can get so immersed in your work that it becomes overwhelming and difficult to take a step back from the project or task at hand.

For this reason, resourceful people know when and how to ask someone else for assistance if they find themselves in a difficult situation.

Final Thoughts

The habit of being resourceful is incredibly valuable, not only to help you in your own life but also as a way to make the world a better place. We hope that these habits have been helpful and we encourage everyone to adopt them into their daily lives

12 Motivating Tips to Help You Fight For Your Dreams

Achieving your dreams and goals can be difficult. You might think it's impossible to get what you want, but that is not the case. If you believe in yourself and keep fighting for what you want, then anything is possible!

In this blog post, we will discuss 12 tips to fight for your dreams- no matter how hard they seem to get.

Why You Have To Fight For Your Dreams

When someone stands up against all odds and doesn't give up on what they believe in - they succeed!. And even if it takes longer than anyone would have thought or wanted it to, that single moment that person attained their dream is worth more than the rest of time put together because that's proof positive one person can make a difference with enough perseverance.

If you're tired of giving up on your goals, need some motivation to attain them, or just want to ensure that you're constantly moving in the right direction for success - then this article is for you.

 12 Tips to Fight For Your Dreams and Move Closer to Your Goals

1. Stay Positive

When you're positive, you fight harder, you get more done, and it seems like everything is falling into place. Even if things seem bleak for a while, don't stop. Smile. Pretend everything is going well and maybe it will be.

2. Focus on Your Goals

If you want to achieve them, focus on them. All the time. Know what they are and know how to get there so that when opportunity knocks you'll always be ready to answer the door. Staying focused means you fight for your goals and dreams continuously.

3. Be Grateful

Don't forget that you have plenty of good things in your life that can bring about happiness from time to time too, and being grateful for those things is a great place to start.

4. Say No To Negative Self-Talk

Negativity is a poison that can eat away at your dreams one day at a time. Be the positive person you know yourself to be and fight against negative self-talk. Instead, encourage yourself, inspire yourself, and fight for your dreams every single day.

5. Be a Master of Change

If one door closes, use that momentum to kick another open. Sometimes things just won't work out and if it's not exactly where or how you want it - change it. You'll be surprised at how much power you have when you fight for what you want.

Things won't always go according to plan when it comes to achieving the life of your dreams, but that doesn't mean things don't work out in the end. Sometimes all we need is a little change in our plans or fight against negativity and find success on another road less taken.

6. Get Motivated by Others Who Have Done It Before You

Whether it's a loved one, friend, stranger, or famous person - if someone has done what you dream of doing then fight for that goal even harder!

You can do anything. Just look at all the people who have changed this world before you and know that there is no reason why you cannot be next.

7. Control the Negative Thoughts in Your Mind

Negative thoughts have a way of creeping up into your mind when you least expect them.

Don't let negative thoughts get in the way of what you want because they are just holding you back from achieving greatness! Focus on positive things and fight for what you believe in.

8. Be Flexible

Life is ever-changing and so should be your fight for what you want. Life is unpredictable and sometimes things don't work out as planned - it's okay to change up the game plan a little bit by being flexible instead of rigid! It could result in something even better than you thought possible before.

9. Keep going no matter how hard it gets

It's inevitable that at some point in your fight for what you want, it will get hard. It might even seem like the fight is over and there's nothing left to do but give up - Don't!

If something bad happens or someone tells you no, don't stop fighting because time changes things sometimes, learn how to roll with it, and be determined to continue moving forward.

10. Remember why you started fighting for your dreams in the first place

It can be easy to forget how far we've come and all of those small victories along the way, so always remember what started this fight and why you're fighting it.

Simple reminders will help you fight even harder because when times get tough.

11. Don't expect immediate results

Don't give up just because things aren't going as planned - sometimes the fight is harder than we can imagine but if we don't quit then eventually all of those efforts will pay off. If your goal seems a little bit out of reach today, fight harder and it will be right where you want it to be tomorrow!

12. Know that you are capable of doing anything

You can fight for your dreams and get closer to them if you put in the effort, time and dedication - no matter what anyone else tells you! It's going to be hard but it will all be worth it when you finally achieve a dream or goal that once seemed almost impossible to fight for.

Final Thoughts

 In the end, you really have to do it for yourself. You can't let anything stand in your way and if there is a wall in front of you, climb over it or go around it--don’t stop until you get where you want to be. No matter what obstacles are in your path, don't give up on your dreams!

Desk Essentials: 7 Things You Need For Your Workspace

We all have that one area in our office or home that we call our workspace. It's where we get work done, plan projects, and create content for the world to see. A lot of us don't even think about what is needed to make this space feel like a true sanctuary for productivity until it isn't there.

So today I thought I would share with you 7 things you need to keep your desk essentials stocked and ready at all times!

7 Desk Essentials You Need For Your Workspace

1. A Desk Lamp

A desk lamp is a must have for any workspace! Having enough light to see what you are doing, or not having enough light and therefore straining your eyes when trying to work can be very frustrating. A good desk lamp will give you the perfect amount of lighting in all different kinds of situations whether it's natural sunlight from a window, fake desk light from a ceiling fixture, or just an ambient glow of your laptop's screen.

2. A Pen/Pencil Holder

Keeping a pencil holder on your desk is also one of those little things that make such a big difference when you are doing work. Having to constantly reach for pens, pencils, and highlighters every time you need them can be super frustrating especially if they're stuck in the back of another drawer somewhere!  Plus it makes for easy organization and looks really nice too.

A pencil holder can come in all shapes, sizes, colors, materials, and designs so it's totally up to you on what kind of one you want! Just make sure that if yours isn't big enough or doesn't have compartments then put pens etc in a cup instead because the point is to have them easily accessible at all times!

3. A Desktop Organizer

Keeping your desk clear of clutter will make working much more enjoyable. A desktop organizer is one way to keep all the small things you use on a daily basis right at a hands reach so that they don't get in the way or cause any accidents. This includes items like staplers, scissors, pens/pencils, paperclips, binder clips, etc.

Desktop organizers come in all shapes and sizes so it's best to find one that will fit your desk the best! If you can't put something on your desk because there isn't any room then maybe get a tiny organizer and use the top of an old magazine rack or filing cabinet instead which is what I have done!

When it comes to desktop organizers you can get ones that are cheap, expensive, wood, metal etc. so again this is totally up to you and your budget! However, if you want a super chic organizer then opt for one with marble or glossy black lacquer because they look amazing in almost any kind of workspace theme!

4. A Work/Life Planner

A planner is another must-have for any workspace! Having an organized way of keeping track of where you are with all the projects and tasks that need to get done will not only make your life so much easier but it's also really important. This includes things like checking deadlines, creating new ideas, brainstorming blog post topics, etc.

This is another one of those items that come in all shapes, sizes, and designs so it's completely up to you how big or small your planner is! Plus if you don't like the design then there are a ton of places online where you can find a personalized cover for whatever kind of layout system you use.

Though this isn't a necessity, planners come with personalization options so if you want a chic and professional planner then I definitely recommend checking out some on amazon.

The point is to have something that will help you stay organized and on top of all your projects in a way that works for you. Whether it's a paper planner or a digital one, make sure you find what works best for your needs and preferences!

5. A Trinket Dish

Having a dish to put your little trinkets in is another must-have for any workspace. If you're like me then you probably collect all kinds of random stuff that will just end up all over the place if it's not somewhere specific, so this includes things like coins, paperclips, earbuds, etc.

Trinket dishes come in all shapes and sizes but I think the most popular ones are made out of marble or lucite. They're usually small so they don't take up too much room on your desk and you can find them online.

Even though it's not a necessity to have a dish, they are pretty inexpensive and it's always nice to have somewhere specific to put all the little things that tend to get lost otherwise.

6. A Picture Frame

It's always nice to have a picture frame on your desk so you can remember the people that are most important in your life while you're working! This will remind you of why it is that you work and how lucky we all are. Plus they look super cute too, especially if they match your workspace theme.

Picture frames come in all shapes and sizes so you can pick whatever one fits your desk best. It's also really important to choose a frame that will fit the picture of whoever is most significant to you, especially if it happens to be a big family photo!

You can find frames online or at any home store pretty cheap but they don't have to cost that much. You can also get one custom-made or personalized if you prefer something more unique!

When it comes to picture frames, they don't have to be essential but I definitely recommend having one on your desk because nothing is better than looking at the people you love when you're working!

7. An Inspiring Book

One of the most important things to have on your desk is a book because there's nothing better than being able to take a break from work and just read! Plus it will keep you inspired so when you get back into working mode, all those ideas you got while reading will be transferred onto paper.

Books come in all shapes and sizes but I think the most popular ones are novels, cookbooks, or anything else that's creative.

10 Ways to Escape Living A Mediocre Life

Every day, we are faced with decisions that will either make our lives better or worse. However, most of the time these decisions go unmade and we end up living a mediocre life.

I'm not saying you need to change your whole life in one day but if you have been feeling like something is missing from your life then this post is for you! It's time to make the decision that will change your life into something great. This blog post is about how you can escape living a mediocre life and start living an amazing one!

What is a Mediocre Life?

A mediocre life can be a difficult way to live. It means settling for what you have and never pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, which limits how far you take things.

When we settle in this way, it's not uncommon to find ourselves living an unfulfilling lifestyle that leads to mediocre relationships and mediocre jobs.

10 Ways to Escape Living A Mediocre Life 

1. Challenge Yourself

The best way to escape a mediocre life? Start by challenging yourself to do things you never thought you could.

When you challenge yourself, you force your brain and body to grow so that they can handle the new challenges (and risks) which come with it. This will not only change your life, but it will also change you.

Even if it's to do something as simple as speaking up at a meeting when you've never done so before, then your life will start changing. You'll be taking away the mediocre in your life by pushing past the fear, anxiety, and doubt that keeps you playing small.

2. Find Yourself

Discover your passions, what you love to do, and who you are. This can be the most difficult part of escaping a mediocre life but it's also the most important because when we know ourselves, then we have more clarity in our lives.

When we're clear on who we are and what matters to us, everything else falls into place and we have everything we need to live a mediocre life that's full of meaning.

3. Take Risks

Life is a risk. You take risks every day to find the same type of jobs, relationships, and opportunities that are available only because someone else took the same risk before you.

When we live approach life this way, we don't push ourselves at all so this means taking fewer risks which leads to an even more mediocre life.

4. Find Your Purpose

You're here for a reason and it's time to figure out what that is.

When we find our purpose in life, being mediocre becomes a thing of the past.

There are so many ways to find your purpose, from volunteering in your community or spending more time with family members and friends that you love.

The only way you'll know what it is for you is by taking some time to think about who you are, what really matters to you, and what you want your life to be.

5. Find new opportunities

If you're wondering why you feel so bored at work, it's because you haven't found opportunities that have the potential to change your life.

You can find new opportunities by looking in places where people are doing things differently or making decisions that lead to something different.

Maybe this is a decision like changing jobs and giving up on what feels safe for the opportunity for something new.

6. Get over your fears

We all have fears and mediocre lives are often the result of these fears.

Fear of taking a chance on something new.

Fear of not being accepted for who you are.

Fear that everyone's right and is better than you could ever be.

The thing about these fears? They're all 100% normal but they also don't have to define your life or hold you back from living the mediocre free life that you deserve.

It's time to get over your fears and allow yourself the chance at a great life.

7. Live in the Moment

Maybe you spend most of your time thinking about what could go wrong or how to prepare for everything that may happen.

This rigidity leads us to miss out on moments as they are happening and we can't even remember how mediocre was better than this moment.

So don't worry about your fears and focus instead on living in the moment because it's these moments that give us life.

8. Be willing to embrace change

Change causes us to grow and step out of our comfort zones. These are two things that mediocre people don't do. Change makes us uncomfortable and this is not good enough for living a mediocre life full of comfort and mediocrity.

Allowing change to happen will bring about growth, happiness, and an even more fulfilling life in the end.

9. Live with passion

When we live mediocre lives, it's often because there is no real sense of purpose or meaning to our days and this comes from living without passion.

When we're passionate about what we do in life and how we are spending the time that has been given to us, mediocre becomes something completely different. Mediocre ceases to exist when we live with passion.

10. Live with intention

A mediocre life is one that feels like you're just living and not really doing anything meaningful.

But when we live this way, it's because we don't have any real sense of what our lives are about or who were are as people so this makes us feel lost in the middle of nowhere without even realizing it.

This is where living with intention comes in. When we live a mediocre life, it's because of not having any sense of purpose but when we live with intention and know why we're doing what we're doing and who were are as people.

Final Thoughts

If you want to live a life that's anything but mediocre, we hope these 10 easy steps have helped you to take the leap into a new and amazing lifestyle that you deserve You'll need some grit and persistence, but the rewards will be worth it! Have these tips helped motivate you?

7 Steps to Pursue Your Passion Starting Today

Are you feeling frustrated by your current lifestyle? Do you feel like something is missing from your life? You may be telling yourself that pursuing your passion will only lead to disappointment.

This couldn't be further from the truth! Pursuing a passion can open up opportunities for new friendships, more fulfilling work, and better health. In this blog post, we'll discuss seven steps to pursue your passions starting today.

1. Define Your Passion

-Defining your passion is the first step to pursue it. So what do you love? What are the interests that bring you joy? Write down five things, some of which may include: photography, languages, cooking, art journaling or gardening. This list can be as big or small as needed for now. You can always go back and add to it later.

Now try them on for size, ask yourself: "What would I pursue if there was no risk of failure?" These are the passions that you love doing. What do they all have in common? They're things you feel most at home with or where you can easily lose track of time.

2. Define Your Goals

Now that you know what your passions are, it's time to define the goals. What do you want? This is an important question because pursuing a passion will require some work and dedication. You need to be prepared for this with realistic expectations of how much effort it would take in order to pursue these interests on a regular basis.

One way to define your goals is to look at the end result you want for yourself and pursue that goal. For example, if one of your passions is photography then pursue taking pictures professionally with a goal in mind: make it big! If this passion includes teaching or mentoring others through workshops or classes, pursue that specific goal too.

Another way to define your goals is to pursue a passion that will provide you with an income. For example, if one of your passions is acting then pursue it as a part-time job on the weekends and pursue other passions in the weekdays while also growing your career by taking classes for theater or public speaking. Practicing this skill in the weekdays will help pursue this goal in the weekends.

It is also important to know what you can pursue to make a living so that your passions and goals are aligned with each other. For example, if one of your passions is photography then pursue it as an occupation or pursue another passion within this field such as being a stock photographer.

3. Figure Out the Resources That You Need To Pursue Your Passion

- What do you need in order to pursue your passions? Figure out what resources are needed. These can be as simple as a camera, an art journal, or gardening tools - always look for things that will help pursue your interests on a regular basis.

What's stopping you from pursuing it now? Are there any obstacles? As long as you have the time, resources, and energy to pursue your interests then there are no excuses.

4. Assess Your Current Resources

Now that you know what your pursue passions are and the resources needed, it's time to figure out how much of these resources do you already have. This can be as complicated or easy as desired - for example, if one of your pursue passions is photography then assess the current equipment that could be used for this passion.

It's important to know what you already have because it will help pursue your passions and prevent unnecessary spending.

5. Plan Your Day

In order for it to successfully happen, you need a plan. Make sure that you set aside enough time - at least two hours per day or one hour every weekday if not more - so that pursue this passion outside of work and other obligations. This may be hard but the reward is worth it.

A lot of people pursue their passions on the weekends or when they have time off but try to pursue your interests for at least two hours every weekday so this can become a habit and not just an occasional thing. Schedule out these times for pursuing your passion in advance, as well as any other obligations like work or family commitments (as a reminder, pursue this with at least two hours every weekday so it becomes routine).

If there is no time to pursue your interests then you need to make some more time. If work or family commitments are the obstacles then see what can be changed in order to pursue these passions on a regular basis because it's important!

10 Characteristics of A Productive Person

One of the many things that make people successful is their ability to be productive. Productivity can take on many forms, and this article will discuss 10 characteristics of a productive person.

What It Means to Be a Productive Person

A productive person is someone who can excel in the various areas of their life. They may have one job and be great at it, or they might work a few jobs but still get all of them done without sacrificing quality. What matters most is that they are able to maintain a balance between what they want out of life and what others need from them.

Productivity is not about the number of hours that someone works, it's about what they produce with those hours. There are plenty of people who work long days but don't do anything worthwhile or productive and there are also many more people who put in a reasonable amount of time into their work and manage to accomplish something great.

10 Characteristics of a productive person

1. They have a routine that they follow daily

A productive person knows that in order to be successful they need a plan. One of the best ways to do this is to have a daily routine. This could look like getting up, meditating, going for a run, having breakfast, and getting to work early enough to get yourself settled in before starting the workday.

A routine helps set you up for the day with a clear mind so that you can be your most productive throughout the day.

2. They prioritize their tasks

A productive person is able to prioritize the tasks they need to do. They can determine what task need their attention first and then move on from there in order of importance. This allows them a lot more time for doing things that require immediate attention instead of spending hours jumping around from one project to another because it feels less daunting than just completing one task at a time.

3. They set boundaries for themselves and others 

They know when to say no, how much time they need to themselves each day, and what activities are important enough to pursue at the expense of others.

Boundaries allow them to create separation between work and personal life so they can feel more balanced, and less likely to get burnt out.

4. They don't procrastinate

There are many reasons why people procrastinate, but one of the most common is the fear of failing.

A productive person knows what they have to get done, and does it without putting anything else off. They know that if they don't do the tasks in front of them now, they will just pile up until their schedule is too full, and they're overwhelmed. To avoid this, they may work on the tasks they find least enjoyable first so that it only gets easier from there.

5. They know how to manage their time efficiently

Productive people have a good understanding of how long tasks and errands take to complete. They're able to keep realistic expectations in terms of what they can get done in a day.

To ensure a productive day, they may start the day by doing a time block exercise. For example, list everything you want to do and schedule it into your day in time blocks.

Planners, google calendar, and other project management tools can help with getting you organized.

6. They have a strong work ethic

A productive person will have a strong work ethic and are willing to do what it takes to get the job done. They're not lazy or let things fall through the cracks, but instead, they'll take responsibility for their actions and pick up any slack from others, if needed.

They have a strong sense of commitment to their work as it helps them feel fulfilled.

7. They maintain a positive outlook on life

They maintain a positive outlook on life - even when things go wrong or don't go according to plan. They understand that difficulties and setbacks are inevitable. It's how you respond to these situations that matters the most. When things don't go as planned, they ask themselves: What can I learn from this?

8. They focus on progress, rather than perfectionism

A productive person knows that they can't be perfect all the time, but rather than letting this stop them from completing a task; they focus on progress and getting it done.

Perfection is a difficult standard to attain and often, there's no such thing. Focusing on such an elusive concept can take us away from reality.

And when a project is finished, they may realize it's not perfect but they know that it's done, and it's been done at the best of their abilities. And that's good enough for them.

9. They balance relaxation with productivity

A productive person can switch gears and take a break when they need it. They know the importance of balance, so they don't feel guilty about taking some time for themselves after working hard.

Whether this means taking a few breaks to stretch or just chat with coworkers throughout the day or giving yourself a full weekend day of self-care. The key is to be able to get back into production mode afterward!

10. They are proactive rather than reactive

This means they take control of the situation instead of waiting for someone else to fix it. They anticipate what problems could go wrong and have systems in place to deal with them in case they do.

A reactive person will just sit there and wait until something goes wrong before doing anything about it. They'll only take action when a problem becomes so big it's basically impossible to ignore anymore.

Final Thoughts

We may not always feel productive, and that's fine. Sometimes it's important to just step away from what you're working on so you can mentally reset. However, when you constantly feel like you're drowning, like you spent the whole day working but got nothing done then, it may be time to look at how you're managing your time and how you could improve your productivity. We hope you have found

We hope you have found our list of 10 characteristics of a productive person to be informative and inspiring.
