http://www.fireitupwithcj.com | Top 3 tips from Jim Donovan author of "Happy@Work" on how you can feel more engaged at work.  Jim Donovan defines what "success" at work means to him.

Should you write the plan out? 
I view it less as a plan and more of an image. Of course I'm a pretty visual person. However I do have it written as if in a scene. 

You can write it, draw it, record it or whatever media suits you. The important part is seeing it as having already happened. You're "future pacing" your dreams. Describing it in detail is important and writing it down give you a vision statement you can read and visualize. 

****Answers to listener questions****

Can your vision change?
I hope so. For me this has been an evolving process that has been taking place since I first learned of the idea more than twenty years ago. That's why many people, including myself, like a five year view. That's easier to see.

Is it hard to get your vision?
It is not. If it feels hard, you're pushing against it. Make it more playful. Just start day dreaming about what sounds like something you'd like to do, have or become. 

How long does it take to get your vision?
Time is not involved in the visioning or visualization process since it's happening in your imagination. The part affected by time is how long it takes to manifest what you want and there are too many variables to discuss here.

Bonus tip:
The one thing that I feel contributed more to the success I've enjoyed than anything else is the habit I developed of reading or listening to personal development on a regular basis.
