Even the most boring jobs can support families well, allow you to achieve other life dreams or provide income to pursue activities that are truly important to you - higher education, a hobby, sport, your music, writing, charitable goals or valued volunteer work.
Decide What You Are Going To Do And Find Ways To Enjoy It
Energy and enthusiasm to complete tasks well are just as important as developing good plans.
Excite Your Attitude To Energize Your Actions
Creatively change chores into interesting games, keep score, involve other people, tie everything you do to meaningful goals. Take pride in doing simple things extraordinarily well.
Expect To Enjoy Your Work And
Find Ways To Make Work Enjoyable And Rewarding
Dreading or disliking what you have to do lets negative attitudes undermine your effectiveness and your enjoyment. If this doesn't work and you really dislike what you do, make changes.
Make Lists, Check Off And Celebrate Completed Tasks
Consciously celebrate successful completion of each task, step or section. Continually celebrating success fuels your drive to achieve more.
