Featured
Hey Wrikers ๐
ย
Happy midweek! This week, letโs put the spotlight on all the quick wins that keep us motivated and moving forward. Whether itโs a major milestone or a small success, every achievement counts and deserves a little celebration! โจ
ย
What to do:
ย
Share one quick win youโve had recentlyโat work or in your personal life. No win is too small! Did you finally wrap up that tricky task, stick to a new habit, or maybe just organize your desk? Letโs cheer each other on and spread some good vibes!
ย
My Quick Wins:
Sticking to my workout regime for the past months really paid offโI had so much more energy for the long walks on my recent vacation! And at work, making a habit of planning my top priorities before each day has made everything feel smoother and far less stressful.
ย
Letโs spread some positive energy and share those feel-good moments. Canโt wait to hear your quick wins! ๐ Drop yours below! ๐

My win recently was reading three different books in a month. I have really become dedicated to a strong reading habit.
My Quick win is Setting some goals and sticking to making them happen! Working on them is a habit that has to be formed but I am building a routine to get it done!ย
We had a unanimous decision in a meeting first thing on a Monday morning! That never happens! Huge win, and so glad my team prepped and had all the data ready to present.ย
I'm finally buying new windows for my historic home, after 10 or more years of working toward approval from our local historic preservation council!ย

I listened to my wife and ordered something that she said she wanted for her birthday.... 6 weeks to spare, no rushing last minute things!

I hit every light GREEN on my way to work today!
Finished a gnarly reporting and analysis challenge - now I'm just waiting for the comments on the first draft! :)
Professionally, we had an external audit, and the auditor asked for improvements from the past year. It took us a solid 30 minutes to review everything that's changed. It's exciting to see all the measurable improvements we've made over the last 12 months.ย
On a personal level, I've read some great books in the last few months. The short list of interesting ones: When by Danial Pink, Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman, Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman, Principles by Ray Dalio, and Creativity Inc. by Ed Catmull and Amy Wallace.ย

Completed my fastest sprint triathlon this weekend! Bonus: didn't drown during the open water swim!
Basudha Sakshyarika, I am also prepping for a long vacation in September and recently started my workout routine. I'm looking forward to having energy for a 12-day Europe tour from London to France!
A professional win is that we are making huge progress in our Agile transformation and our Wrike Champions are relying on my task management oversight less and less. ๐๐ป
Finally got over some mental hurdles to move my projects forward.ย
Finally got a major project kicked off with an RFP that went live. Almost 1 whole year of planning!
Work - Started using a folder style, pop-up white board on my desk to replace my weekly notes/to-dos paper and it's been great!
Personal - Mowed the lawn before it became unruly again and hung out with a friend I haven't seen in about a year.
