New Year Resolution : Improve Work Productivity, Personal Wellbeing

What is your New Year resolution and goal for 2020? This is the question many people are seeking answers as they begin not only another New Year, but a new decade, 2020. It is that time of the year when individuals map out plans on how to make the New Year, a better and successful one. While some individuals hope to stay positive and focus on their mental health, others have already resolved to work on their careers everyday and keeping it a priority number one.

Many have seen the need to keep working and improving their career while at the same time ensuring their wellbeing.
