- Consistency Is Key: Improve By 0.1% Every Day
Leave Your Work At Work
But don’t just go home and bring your work with you. That defeats the whole purpose. No one thinks it’s cool when you’re closing deals on the phone at dinner. You’re also not doing yourself a service by continually thinking about work when you’re at home. Relax a bit. Play some Call of Duty. Cook dinner for your spouse. Take the kids for a walk. Whatever. Look, living a happy life is very simple. It’s all within our control. We can decide what makes us happy. I have printed this Marcus Aurelius quote on my journal to remind me of that: “Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.” We all know that money, success, fame, or recognition, by themselves, don’t make us happy. And yet, we work too much to obtain those things that don’t even make us happy in the first place. So why do we keep working too much that it hurts us? It could be our ego. Maybe we just can’t help ourselves. It’s different for every person. Personally, I don’t care about the reason. All I know is that too much work has a negative impact on the quality of your life and work. What matters is that we protect ourselves from our own stupidity. We’re just like kids. We need rules to live happily and safely. That’s why the first rule of work is that we leave the office on time. The second rule is that we don’t take our work home. And the third rule? Let’s not worry about that for now. We’ll get to that another time. It’s time for me to go home. Consistency Is Key: Improve By 0.1% Every Day Do you ever worry about things you don’t control? If you do, join the club. It happens to all of us. But worrying is a waste of time and energy. Imagine the following situation: You make a mistake at work that upsets a client. Maybe you send someone a wrong email. Maybe you forget to solve a problem. It doesn’t matter what it is. Imagine that something goes seriously wrong at work. What do you do when you find out? Do you stress out? Feel uncomfortable? Blame yourself? Blame others? Think it’s the end of your career? When things go wrong, we become our own worst enemy because we focus on things we don’t control. It’s one thing to read about these things. It’s another thing to actually put it in practice. Because when shit hits the fan it’s natural to panic. Instead of thinking, take a step back, and focus on what lies within your control. What do you control? Essentially, we only control our own actions and mindset. Download 1.67 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
