Ok, it’s Friday already! So without further ado let me present a few coffee break distractions. And true, it may take a while to work through these, but aren’t Friday’s all about long coffee breaks?!

• A dream board is a way of creating a visual representation of a goal, and by having something tangible to focus on, this can help us strive towards it. If your goal, for instance, is to own a Ferrari then what better way to stay motivated than by a seeing a photo of a Ferrari each day? Career changers could make a useful adaption of this idea as well!
• Dr. Bamster’s Blog has a specialist focus on issues facing those 40 and over who are changing jobs or careers.
• Build a More Meaningful Career is an article written by Robin Ryan at QuintCareers. “30 million people go to work each day to a job they hate” was the line that caught my attention, and Robin suggests a few reasons why moving on is a good idea, if you are one of those 30 million people!
• Quiz time! This career interest test with 100 questions may seem long, and some questions may seem irrelevant, but bear with this one because it’s all going somewhere! A free ten point report result is delivered after the test, which you can re-access and view whenever you want, and there is also an option to pay for a more detailed report if you choose. A tip for non US residents, use 00000 (that is five zeros) as a zip code.
• You become what you think about, is the gist and summary of a great inspirational post over at Dream Jobs Dialog. As Michael Werner points out though, “thinking” should not be confused with merely “daydreaming”, but rather “thinking” is a plan of action in this context.
