Ive Got the Big Bad B Word on My Job!
That "B" word---B O R E D O M.
How did I get this wearing word in my work?
I got it because I don't have enough to
do in my job! Yes, I have completed my
assigned tasks, but I have time left over,
which leads to boredom.
I know that all kinds of jobs have boredom
connected to them, "little bores" or "big
bores", if I reduce the concept to the
small items I just mentioned.
I have to find a way to reduce the boredom
I feel to make myself feel better about my
job and myself. I'll start here by listing
what I can do to help myself.
First, I will ask for more assignments in
my job. I will complete them in a timely
manner, along with my assigned tasks.
Secondly, I will volunteer for more complicated
tasks and finish them.
Thirdly, I will use my free time more productively
away from the job to create more meaningful
tasks for myself.
In fourth place, if I find that I cannot broaden
the job to meet more of my needs, I will look
at other departments to find a job that meets
more of my competencies. Maybe, I'm bored
because the job and I are mis-matched.
Lastly, I will talk to a trusted friend, family
member or counselor to find out if I'm bored
about being bored! If my expectations about
work are too high, then I will be bored no matter
what I undertake. I gotta' get this bored
feeling out of my life!
