Learn To Love What You Do

Your Nine-To-Five Doesn't Have to Suck You Dry.

- Shihaam Hassanali

We roughly spend a third of our days at work, so it’s no surprise that we’d want our jobs to be something we enjoy and look forward to. If you can’t wait to leave the office at 5 PM each day and you wake up every morning with a sense of dread, it’s time to sit up and take notice.

Yes, job satisfaction might ebb and flow over time, but you’re in charge of your career, and can always take steps towards positive change. All you need is a shift in mindset and a renewed focus on finding more enjoyment at work. It’s a shift that will aid in unlocking upbeat energy and allow you to re-embrace a more passionate and driven side of yourself.

Ease Your Workload

It's possible your job is actually fulfilling, but lately, balancing your work and personal life has become a nightmare! So much so that it might make you question your very career choice. If you’re leaving the office well after clock-out time, you need to remove the tasks you can’t handle. Delegate to other members of your team or talk to your boss about how work’s been getting you down, and learn to say a polite ‘No’ to extra work that’s landing on your plate. By paying more attention to your work-life boundaries and your off-time, you’re likely to start feeling a renewed enthusiasm for the work you get to do when you’re ‘on’.
