Did you ever notice how hard it is to stay focused in the summer when it’s warm, sunny and delicious outside?
It’s definitely hard for me.
And there’s good reason for that. It turns out that in general, you’re more productive and less error-prone on bad weather days, than you are on sunny ones.

So, what to do about this weather conundrum?
In this week’s TheMuse.com column, I share 3 weather-driven strategies for being more productive at work.

“Don’t knock the weather. If it didn’t change once in a while, nine out of ten people couldn’t start a conversation.”
– Kim Hubbard
When you make things happen in ANY weather, you’re working the Positive Shift.
