That "B" word---B O R E D O M.

How did I get this wearing word in my work?

I got it because I don't have enough todo in my job! Yes, I have completed myassigned tasks, but I have time left over,which leads to boredom.

I know that all kinds of jobs have boredomconnected to them, "little bores" or "bigbores", if I reduce the concept to thesmall items I just mentioned.

I have to find a way to reduce the boredomI feel to make myself feel better about myjob and myself. I'll start here by listingwhat I can do to help myself.

First, I will ask for more assignments inmy job. I will complete them in a timelymanner, along with my assigned tasks.

Secondly, I will volunteer for more complicatedtasks and finish them.

Thirdly, I will use my free time more productivelyaway from the job to create more meaningfultasks for myself.

In fourth place, if I find that I cannot broadenthe job to meet more of my needs, I will lookat other departments to find a job that meetsmore of my competencies. Maybe, I'm boredbecause the job and I are mis-matched.

Lastly, I will talk to a trusted friend, familymember or counselor to find out if I'm boredabout being bored! If my expectations aboutwork are too high, then I will be bored no matterwhat I undertake. I gotta' get this bored feeling out of my life!
