Hi I thought that for this week's post I would look at a few
ways that you can be happier at work even though you might not really be “head
over heels” in love with your job.
There are a few simple but meaningful steps that you can
take to improve your working environment.
It does not necessarily follow that you hate your job but
there could be room for improvement in the conditions of your everyday
work. In fact you could be one of the
large number of people who actually think that their job is ok but that it
could be improved by having things such as flexible hours and a little more
freedom so that you are not tied to your desk for a full day.
It is perfectly possible to make your job far more satisfying
if you put yourself into a situation where you are driving your own career.
Every organisation has its own reasons for being where it is
and those reasons may not be particularly inspiring for you personally. So why
not get clear about how and why your job is important to you.
Maybe you enjoy helping other people to solve their problems
or maybe you are able to express your creativity.
If you are just there just for the money that too is fine,
it still counts because you are supporting your family and maybe even your
hobbies and those things are goals in themselves.
Whatever the reason is for your being employed at the place
you work own it and then hopefully by using the above points you can make your
job more meaningful to you.
Now let me ask you a question.
How do
you define progress?
Happiness at work often depends on experiencing those small
wins and often they matter more than the long-term milestones which are very
often so far in the distance to make a difference. Start each day by setting two
or three tasks that you can achieve and that would make the most difference to
your day. So when they are done you can
actually celebrate with a break or some sort of a reward!
Another thing you can do is look after your workspace
because however small it is it’s worth keeping tidy and the reason for that is
that “Outer order contributes to inner calm”
A certain amount of autonomy is vital for your well-being in
the workplace and so you could customise your immediate location to regain that
control. If possible put some plants or some reminder of nature in your
workspace (it could even be a photograph) and that can make a significant
difference.
The first hour of the day is when you can focus on the most
important work and then you are less likely to spend the day within a haze of
distraction. It is very tempting to
believe that you can make unsatisfying work more pleasant by distracting
yourself from it! The truth though is something quite different because the more
proactive and focused you are the more you will feel that your day has been
well spent.
