Get a job you like.
People get into a trap where they think that all jobs are the same.
I used to think I hated working, and then lucked into a job that actually used my skills and talents.
A job that makes person A happy might be completely wrong for someone else.
I am honestly not sure I can enjoy anything I have to wake up at a set time to go in for 8+ hours at least 5 days a week. every day, every week, every month, every year.
Look into the mirror and slap yourself, murmurring “I want this, I WANT this”. Then play a soft soulful version of we’re not gonna take it and then proceed to work whilst taking it
One of the silver-linings of the whole COVID thing is that we finally got to WFH. When the pressure to return to the office started, I was among the first to volunteer to come in 3 days a week and chose Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. This arrangement has remained and I’ve gotta say, WFH on Mondays really takes the edge off. I feel productive (sort of), yet the week feels less jarring when kicking it off from my own house.
Same with the Friday wind-down. Great to be at home on the last day of the week with no commute so you can get an early entry to the weekend.
Keep busy, not that it’s a choice mostly. But I don’t need to make it “bearable”. It’s a day like any other.
Bigger coffee and/or opt for the nicer lunch during break. Every bit of pick me up helps xD
Solid advice! I’ve never regretted more coffee or a good lunch. Maybe a walk outside if the weather’s nice.
Oh yes, fresh air is a must:)
I remind myself there are only 5 days until the weekend
