What are some good ideas for workers to improve their work?
Majority of people prefer to work in clean offices because visually nice, comfortable and well organized; on the other hand, minority of people mentioned cleaning was wasting their working times. People’s opinions are not always same about their working places, but they agreed with to make visual reminder, schedule board or calendar. It bring a great number of advantages, for example, people would not forget important meetings and can manage their schedules and can save time. Schedule management is one of essential social behaviors as a professional worker.
Secondary, human relationships are important inside the company. Generally, many people are worrying about their relationships between boss and coworkers. There is one solution, which is to develop their work's routines; therefore, people can divide their jobs and keep distances from other workers. It also bring saving time and cooperation with other workers. Cooperation is one possibility to change relationships because through their work, they can know their coworker's abilities and respect each other.
Not all jobs can do smooth. When people face the challenging tasks, people, most of whom encourage themselves to finish their jobs successfully or try to push aside the pressure, are afraid to make mistakes. In the case like that, people do not want to be disturbed. Under the pressure, if someone had disturbed them, they would be screwed-up everything. The most effective way is to put a sign, “Don’t disturb!”
In the office, people are surrounded by temptations, such as internet news, e-mail and facebook. These attractive items disturb their jobs, too. They need proper use of e-mail accounts, and company should use the program which does not accept to access facebook. In addition, people cannot work without breather. They should walk, drinking coffee or use massage machines during breather. After they can refresh; moreover, their working efficiency can improve.

Seven Specific Work / Study Problems
Stay organized, develop a routine, make a list, challenge yourself, reserve some “do not disturb time”, go offline and take a breather are seven specific work or study problems. Most people are facing some of these difficulties; especially, “take a breather” and “Go offline” are my problems.
Due to my cultural background, I am not good at taking a breather. I do not prefer to meet someone, when I am taking a break. Generally, japanese people tend to think that if they saw this scene, they would consider that I was not hard worker. Non-breather brings inefficient circulation because people’s concentration have limits. My ideal style is focus on specific hours to study and then take a breather, but almost always I forgot to take a breather and trying to finish my tasks. I started make a time table to take a breather constantly. I am get use to this style; therefore, I am not struggling in inefficient circulation.
Another problem is I cannot survive in the offline environment. Since I came to Canada, I started using internet frequently to check Japanese news. I am afraid knowledge gap between my Japanese friends and I. If I do not check Japanese internet news, I will feel isolation. On the other hand, it is important for me to get use to Canadian life; however, I cannot read only English news. Consequently, I have not find a good solution yet.
