A senior public servant from the Attorney-General’s Department (AGD) shares how her morning and evening routine puts her in the right frame of mind to tackle the hurdles at work.
Before Lace Wang heads out for her daily exercise each morning, she has scanned her diary, emails, and the latest media clippings to get a sense of what the next 9-5 will entail. This routine means while she’s working out, she can mentally prepare and start her workday in a responsive, rather than a reactive state of mind.
“At the beginning of each day, I go through strategies on some complex pieces of work during my morning exercise.
“The morning exercise helps me get ready mentally for the day as well,” she tells The Mandarin.
Wang’s role as acting first assistant secretary within the AGD can be onerous, and she says she’s aware that if she holds onto work for too long this may cause bottlenecks and impact the progress of others.
