In my last post I turned over in my mind – what to do if you strongly hate your job. I gave some necessary, from my point of view, tips- how to blow off the steam. Today I want to come to the end of my idea and to tell you how to focus on the things which are really important. Ok, so I should start from the third one:

3. Take it easy

Diverse your schedule. In my office we have the lunch break from 1 till 2 p.m. usually it takes me about 20 minutes to go to our cafeteria on the first floor and to have something to eat. But I’m never coming back to the office for the rest of 40 minutes, till the break is over. And that’s not because I’m not paid for this 40 minutes or something- I just take that time to blow the steam off, to relax.

Every evening I’m going for a run, I’m visiting the swimming pool twice a week- yes I’m trying to keep my body in a good shape, but sport also helps me to drop all the negative. So put the event you’re really enjoy on your schedule, something your are really looking forward to each day, and every time your boss becomes really annoying- think about the relaxation munites are at hand and the business day will pass really quickly.

4. Diverse your working place.

I got married a year ago. And for the whole this year there wasn’t a minute I did not think about my adorable wife. And everytime I start think about her- my imagination brings me to some romantic place. So who will be the first one to guess whose picture I use as a screensaver on my computer?..

5. Create your mood.

The friend of mine likes to say: ‘Improving you mornings can do wonders for your afternoons.” After I read Steve Pavlina’s article How to Become an Early Riser I realized – that my friend is frightfully right. For more than 2 month now I’m waking up at 5 a.m. (oh yes, it was really hard for the first couple of weeks) and you know what- my daily productivity doubled. Every morning I spend two additional hours for reading the newspaper, writing the emails to the friends of mine. And I’m coming to the office fresh and in a busy mood since all my co-workers are sleepy and touchy. So develop you positive morning ritual and dispose yourself to the daily success.

You should just realize that this, too, shall pass: It might seem as if you will be stuck in this job forever. But keep remindiong yourself that you are in charge of your destiny. Search internal postings for new positions. Start your search for a new job externally. Don’t give up!
