MY JOB IS TIRING!
'Everyone' in Nigeria believes that landing a federal job is a great achievement ; big money! We have also made ourselves believe that civil service is the easiest of jobs. Well, that might be very true but have you considered and ever pondered on the words 'Comfort Zone'?
I joined my organisation with little or no experience in June 2015 but I was determined to put all I have into it and give my organisation the best. That was exactly what I did. I learnt form everyone, gave my assigned tasks my 110% attention, asked questions and did everything that diligence means. Ofcourse, as you would have guessed I became better at what I do despite the fact that I studied an entirely different Course in School. As a matter of fact, I studied English Language as my first degree and here I am multi tasking in a Real Estate company. I grew everyday to love not just the job but the business. And, this became my driving force when I started getting TIRED of the job. The love for what I do and the love for the business pushed me further.
A lot of people working with the so called 'One man business' organisations often feel what I felt at a certain point. I sat down one day to ask questions and research why that should be; because for me, when you know you love something you should not be tired of it. But, I realized eventually that it's a right feeling for most people who are very creative. Creative thinkers and workers usually get tired of doing the same thing for a long period of time and always want to get out of their COMFORT ZONES as quick as possible. For me, the following steps are the steps I took when work became so tiring, boring and frustrating:
1. Think of new ways to do your job: I had to research into what other companies in the same business are doing and I have not been doing. I took time to discuss this with my team and I was able to spice things up a little.
2. Start something for yourself: I realized that I was not really doing anything to improve my life, to upgrade myself because all my focus was spent on getting the organisation going fine as far as my department was concerned. I was so engrossed in getting things done that all my self value has now been sacrificed for the organisation's success. So, I stopped and took a deep breath. I decided to take some free courses on business and learn some graphic designing. I also learnt web development and these things are now a great plus for me as I'm working on starting my own business.
3. Take a break: I got to understand that first there is nothing wrong in being tired and second, you have every right to take a break. Hence, I take time to cool off once in a while. Sometimes, I just go to the movies with friends and family, other times I stay at home to just relax. Though all of these times I get new ideas from my environment, from meditating and all.
I hope these helps you as they have tremendously helped my career. You can also research into what works for you and I would love to know.
