Boredom can kill you!
March 15th, 2010 -
Have you got the boredom disease? It’s quite common in the workforce. I have read many blogs about employees bitching how bored they are and I even came across an article that said boredom increases heart problems and quickens death.
But have you ever thought that boredom is a curse you overcome just by being proactive? Maybe it’s time we all took our mothers advice, when we were young complaining of boredom, THERE IS PLENTY TO DO!
Here are a few tips if you want to kick boredom in the workforce and live that little bit longer!
Be proactive. It’s time to take your dear mothers advice. If you feel like you have run out of things to do in the office, ask for more. I’m sure your boss would love to offload some work and it will also give you brownie points in “taking initiative.”
Lack of motivation can also contribute to boredom. Ways to combat this can be to find inspiration about what you do or in the colleagues around you. Set yourself goals and give yourself rewards when you have reached these goals. For example: If you finish a particular task in time shout yourself lunch or speak to that guy/girl that you have always wanted to.
Give yourself variety. Instead of focusing on one set task for hours, start something else and come back to it. This way each task will be fresh and new.
Make the work enjoyable! Find something to be excited about and look forward to in the workplace. If you like going to work, chances are you will like the work and it will be a more enjoyable experience all over.
Teamed with these tips and a willingness to improve and seek out new tasks, you will succeed in beating the boredom bug!
