work harder at my job

I’m easily distracted. I want to work harder, more consistently, rather than periods of inactivity followed by a frenzy to finish things on time!

It makes the time go faster, although it does tire me out more. I have to remind myself to do so frequently, though – guess I’m just a slacker at heart! ;)

I have been doing this. And now there are times when I enjoy my work (suprise)..I dont seem to be having nightmares about getting done with it anymore. I think I am still slow at what I do but there is no where to go except up.

I dont love my job! I don’t find it motivating or challenging – while in fact it is very challenging. I guess it is not my type.

I need to work harder at it – a lot harder, even if I hate it.

If I consistently work hard and still hate it – then i should just move to a different one!

...but I don’t work VERY hard. And not to say that I should always be busting my ass, but I feel better and am more energized (and less bored) when I’m working hard than when I’m just going through the motions.

I’ve had several jobs where just going through the motions was acceptable or at least feasible much of the time. To be honest, I think I got away with a lot. And I didn’t really feel good about it.

This job is similar – it’s potentially very easy much of the time (especially b/c I find it very easy to be nice to people). I could really just coast. But I’d rather not. I’d rather do as much as I can, keep my mind occupied, and have made a difference when I leave (which I will, probably after this school year is over). So, with that in mind, I’m throwing myself wholeheartedly into the marketing of the business (even to the point of getting adjusted myself for the first time on Monday, so that I can honestly and accurately promote the services we provide). Hopefully when I am done, I will have helped the business and gained some shoestring budget marketing experience that will lend itself well to public library work.

I’m gonna have to motivate myself a lot. The doctor will help, but he doesn’t have time to help me plan out my tasks and assignments or supervise my work. Which is what I prefer, assuming I can maintain my momentum.
