As the Executive Director of a non-profit organization I am always looking for the best value when it comes to equipment and service. Often it is a struggle to find that one company that can give you both at a level our organization can afford. I am proud to say that for the past 4 years we have been very pleased with Yuma Office Equipment. They worked within our budget, pairing us with the best copying and fax equipment, along with a comprehensive maintenance agreement. Offering same day assistance if something goes wrong, and knowing that their technicians are right here in town has added to my belief that they offer the best value. We appreciate everything that Craig Crossland and his staff do for Hospice of Yuma and recommend Yuma Office Equipment to any business looking to add new copying and faxing equipment.

Making Tedious Tasks More Tolerable
Posted Oct 29, 2018
Even when you enjoy what you do for a living, every job has aspects that are boring, monotonous, and mundane. Changing your perspective toward these chores will help make tackling them less painful. Consider the following mantras…
“What I am doing is necessary.” Accepting that your least favorite task is critical to getting the job done can take the sting out of even the most uninteresting of work. Regardless of whether you’re despondent or delighted, the workload is the same. While it may seem unimportant, if it wasn’t necessary you probably wouldn’t be asked to waste your time on it.
“Let’s keep this short but sweet.” You don’t have to eat a sandwich in one bite, especially if it’s not your favorite variety. Break up unpleasant tasks into smaller segments. Rather than accomplishing the whole job in say two hours, break it up into more palatable 30-minute segments interrupted by time spent on less monotonous work.
“For my listening pleasure…” Add some accompaniment to your most tedious responsibilities by listening to music, a podcast, or an audiobook while you do them. Having some enjoyment while accomplishing a boring task will turn a negative into a positive.
