Hi, I’m Haley R and This is How I Work
- Location: Duluth, MN
- Current Gig: Full-Time Student of Business at the University of Minnesota, Duluth
- One word that describes how you work: Diligently
What apps/software/tools can’t you live without? Why?
Google Calendar because it keeps my life together and organized, and Google Drive because that’s where most of my documents are stored.
What’s your best time-saving shortcut/life hack?
Make a list of what you need to do and cross things off as you go, if you know what you need to accomplish you will not waste time trying to figure out what to do. I find that when I make lists I am much calmer and feel more in control of my day which allows me to then accomplish more.
What everyday thing are you better at than everyone else? What’s your secret?
I am really good at always maintaining a positive attitude and outlook while working so to inspire others to do the same. If I don’t feel passionate and optimistic about the things I dedicate my time on I know it isn’t right for me and I learn how to either move on or modify the situation so I can be as productive as possible.
What do you listen to while you work?
I have recently enjoyed listening to classical and acoustic music on repeat because I can get into a routine of working really fast since the background noise helps me to zone in on my work.
What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
The best advice I have ever received comes from my Dad and it is to follow my heart and trust my instincts. To never give up on my dream because hard work can take you anywhere, as long as you have the passion and drive.
Where do you find inspiration and new ideas?
I tend to find inspiration for new ideas when I am outside getting fresh air with a clear head. Nature seems to give me a fresh look on things so I love to get outside often and gain new ideas.

What’s your favorite quote?
“ There’s only one way to succeed in anything, and that is to give it everything” . — Vince Lombardi
- This is a quote I have lived by for many years. Whenever I decide to take on a new challenge I make sure I do so with my whole heart.
