Is Your Work Really Hard?

Sandro: “I no longer like my job.”

Leonardo: “Why? What’s wrong with you? Or with it?”

Sandro: “It has become harder than ever. I no longer feel myself at ease.”

Leonardo:” Is it really hard work?”

When your job becomes more difficult than you can handle, you need to find an answer to this question:

‘Have you done something to make it easier?’

A difficult job means one or all of the following:

• Time is not enough to perform all the tasks,
• It requires a lot of energy,
• You lack creativity,
• A chronic disease may put your health at risk while performing it,
• That job requires more than one person to do,
• You waste energy outside work,
• And, especially, you lack the skills that make it easier.

Do not think that your peers in other departments:

• Have easier jobs,
• Have more free time than you do,
• Are happier with their jobs than you are,
• Are better paid than you are,
• Their bosses give them less work.

Theirs maybe harder, but they just do not have time to complain. They may also be better prepared for it. YES! I like the question you raise:

How to be better prepared for your job?

In order to:

• Save time,
• Work accurately,
• Experience a stress-free work experience;

You need to:

• See how your peers perform their jobs,
• Understand that evolution is unavoidable,
• Meet people doing the same job in other companies, and countries,
• Take Excel and software courses,
• Ask your company to purchase you a software license for your tasks,
• Learn the techniques & technology used in your company & industry,
• Ask for more training.

A lot of people believe that the work they do is hard, while the truth is not that. You need to pay closer attention to the above, to get a better idea about how your relationship with work in general is.
