"For one, a lot of the projects that go well are the culmination of months or years of effort. Indeed, sometimes by the time the project is officially deemed a success, many of the participants in the project are tired of it. In addition, successful projects rarely have the equivalent moment of crossing the goal line where it suddenly gets classified as a success."
"Yes, you may enjoy your job, and just being able to do the work may be rewarding enough. But, when you achieve a goal, you should find a way to mark the occasion. Develop a little ritual that you can use to enjoy the moment. You can even take the time to review some of the milestones that led to the victory."
Athletes celebrate visible, discrete wins while workplaces rarely mark successes. Many workplace projects take months or years, lack a single definitive moment of completion, and overlap with other priorities, leaving participants fatigued. Small celebrations and rituals help people recognize cumulative daily efforts and enjoy achievement. Celebrations can be private or public and may include reviewing milestones, taking a victory lap, or modest group acknowledgments. Celebrating builds morale, reinforces progress, and helps individuals and teams savor accomplishments before moving on to new work. Implementing simple rituals ensures successes receive recognition even amid ongoing responsibilities.
