In this episode strengths coach Daria Williamson (www.dariawilliamson.com) discusses how working out your strengths (the things you enjoy and are good at) can help you in your working life.

You see, we all have things we like doing and don't like doing.  The things we don't like can demotivate us and we're prone to putting them off.

Here, Daria gives you some thoughts on how you can work with areas where you're not strong and make more of what you enjoy (without ignoring the less exciting stuff).

We look at procrastination and how to reduce it, how to leverage help when needed, and ideas for getting the most out of your 'zone of genius'.

• Make sure you know what 'one thing' you'd like to accomplish each day
• Do your most important stuff when you're at your most awake
