How to get ahead in your career on rainy days?

It is raining outside and you might be wondering what to do when the weather is nasty. The forecaster believe that the rain will last until at least Monday night. Whether you are a lover or hater of the rain it does give you some opportunities to get a few things done that may have been sitting on your back plate. Instead of fretting about having limited outdoor access consider a few other alternatives.

You can spend the time with your family, friends or projects but since this is a business oriented blog I think it is beneficial to think about those things that are most helpful to your career. This can be difficult for people who never really thought about what they want to accomplish. Here are a few ideas:

-Pick up a business or career book. 

-Set goals and steps for your career. 

-Search out new and future opportunities that can expand your career knowledge. 

-Shop online for new clothes, office equipment or items you need to research. 

-Spend time thinking about what you want out of your life and your career. 

-Engage in some work-life projects that help you enjoy your down time. 

-Prepare your lunch, clothing, and other times to save time for the week. 

-Organize your files, records and other items. 

-Take care of your family.
