4 tips to boost your career this Fall, without leaving your sofa...

Are you sat at your desk, daydreaming about your bed? Are you recovering from the summer and already wistfully planning the next? Whatever the daydream getting you through today is, I’m going to guess you’re probably not thinking that hard about you're going to boost your career. It’s easy to fool yourself into thinking distractions aren’t harmful to your focus- but they come at a cognitive cost.

But did you know there are 4 simple tips you can use this Fall to help boost your career? And all from the comfort of your sofa.

1. Read

As we begin to retreat inside with these cooler Fall evenings, our nights spent wrapped in blankets living vicariously through films and the lives of others, why not use this time to settle down with a good book, and one relevant to your industry and gain a new perspective or skill set. If time isn’t a luxury you can afford then podcasts are a great alternative to absorb information as you multitask. Switch your favorite playlist on your work commute to a career related podcast and feel your interest and motivation in the subject increase.

2. Follow influencers

We spend so much of our time flicking through social media that it’s important to break up the daily food pics of your acquaintances lunch by following influencers on social media. Their perspective, wisdom and insight will positively impact your day-to-day, as well as your future. Influential marketers are goldmines of information, so make sure to research who are the most recommended for your area of interest.

3. Take an online course 

An easy way to boost your career is to boost your knowledge! Take an online course to advance you career achievements and study online from the comfort of your own home. Online courses can give you the opportunity to plan study time around the rest of their day, instead of the other way around. Course material is always accessible online, making special library trips unnecessary. All of these benefits help you balance work and family commitments whilst furthering you career achievements.

4. Watch webinars 

No journey, no travel expenses, no person behind you kicking your seat every 5 seconds. The growing popularity of Webinars doesn’t come as a surprise and are soaring in popularity due to the convince they offer. Not available when the event is scheduled? Do not despair, friend. Webinars on-demand allow you to view the event whenever you want. Mobile devices are making it easier and easier to attend Webinars. Being able to listen and/or view a session from your tablet or smartphone gives you the option to view them at any time, in any place.
