5 Tips How to Staying Interested In Your Job
1. Know your “why.”
This is fundamental and where you need to start. Why do you do what you do? Make sure you’re in a line of work that you find interesting, and then clearly identify why you’re doing it. I highly recommend Simon Sinek’s book, Start With Why, so that you can more deeply connect to your personal career mission.
2. Set digital goals.
Now that you know why you’re doing what you do, set up short-term and long-term goals to keep you engaged and on track! I love digital tools and apps since they can give friendly reminders. Want to get promoted in 12 months? What are the steps you can take to get there? Get them on the calendar, and start working.
3. Watch what you say to yourself.
We are so good at convincing ourselves of almost anything. You need to be very careful what you are repeating to yourself. While you may truly be bored or lack interest, don’t dwell on it. You will only make things worse.
4. Keep your comments to yourself.
Don’t start talking to anyone at work about your newly discovered boredom.
It will get around; and once it does, people will start looking for signs of disengagement.
5. Be mindful.
Start each morning with a positive mantra. Then, watch what you say to yourself and others throughout the day. Avoid negative thoughts and comments about your job, and skip the office gossip. Stop taking everything so personally. Bonus: when you practice mindfulness at work, your stress levels subsequently will go way down.
