How to live my own life and keep work in it's place
"It's all about working to live, and not live to work!"
How I did it: I had to accept the fact that I am not enchained to my employer to start with. A few conversations with my mother and my partner helped quite a bit.
I went through few tears, and tantrums but finally understood what it was all about: My life and what I want to do with it!
I am here to work, yes. I am also here to do my best within the time set by my contract of employment.
When I can avoid working overtime, I shall.
Also look at ways not to get abused. I am not using my personal cellphone for business. If they want me to use a cellphone, they provide me with one. So if they call me on my day off on my personal cellphone, I have the option not to answer!
Lessons & tips:
- Start recording the times at which you arrive and leave work every day.
- Get involved in some activities outside of work, which would give you the motivation to finish work quicker, and/or on time. (For me, my Monday Zumba class helps a lot!)
- If you are still at work and don't feel like going home, question yourself why you do not want to go home. Then address the issues that might lie there, and do something about it! Better be moving and alive than still and dead!
- Make it a point not to use personal effects for work at work, especially if your employer doesn't provide you with the tools you could use.
Resources: - Clocking machine at work, even if I don't have to use it because I am a permanent, according to the rules of the house.
- My entourage which helped through discussions and even sometimes confrontations.
- Taking my breaks.
