How Your Mood Affects the Quality of Your Work
Common sense dictates that the best way to get a good job is to try to be in a good mood, but The Wall Street Journal notes that this is not always the case. Sometimes a bad mood also bears fruit.
As you can see from the chart above, your mood influences many of the decisions you make. A good mood is great for creativity, but a bad mood can make you more alert. Knowing what types of negative components can be associated with mood can help you prevent them from occurring.
For example, if one day you are very cheerful and are trying to dive headlong into a project, The Wall Street Journal suggests slowing down a little to get more information from colleagues before continuing (bonus if you find someone negative). to curb the mood a little). Conversely, if you are in a bad mood, realize that you tend to be limited, so try not to give up ideas immediately. Obviously, everyone has a slightly different personality, but this is something to keep in mind as you move around during the day.
