What if you could reorganize your day to the point where you spend no more than 2 hours per day doing the part of your job that you enjoy the least?
We talk about how to do that in prior posts, but here are four ideas I've implemented that you may find useful:
- Limit meetings to certain times of the day so you have more "white space" in your calendar,
- Don't schedule any meetings on Fridays if it can be avoided
- Slowly ease out of work relationships that stress you out and focus on more productive relationships
- Spend at least 30 minutes per day doing something that makes you super happy. It doesn't have to be work-related.
When we’re happy, our attitude shifts, and it also impacts our productivity, and the people around us. So here are my two ridiculous questions of the day:
1: What can you do today to put more boundaries on unenjoyable parts of your day?
2: What can you start doing for 30 minutes per day that you haven't been doing, and that would make you super happy?
