Bored at Work? Ask Yourself These Questions
On this page
Tip
We all hit that point sometimes where our job just feels … boring. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s time to quit. Instead, you can try “job crafting,” or personalizing your role around your strengths and interests. It may help you feel more energized or make your job feel more relevant. To start, ask yourself three basic questions:
- How can I bring more of my strengths into my job? Talk to your manager about new tasks or projects you could take on that will allow you to apply your unique gifts and abilities.
- Am I surrounding myself with the right people? You may not be able to pick your colleagues, but you can decide who you want to spend time with. Focus on those who inspire you.
- What story do I tell myself about why I do my work? “Because I have to,” is one answer. But another could be: “I create a weekly accounting report that allows leaders to make better decisions to help our company achieve its objectives.” If you can dig deeper to better understand the purpose behind your responsibilities, you’ll be more motivated to fulfill them — and you'll be better equipped to recognize new opportunities to pursue.

🇨🇳 工作无聊吗？问问自己这些问题
有时候，我们都会觉得工作很无聊。 但这并不一定意味着是放弃的时候了。相反，你可以尝试“找工作”，或者根据你的优势和兴趣来个性化你的角色。这可能会让你感觉更有活力或让你的工作更有意义。 先问自己三个基本的问题：
我怎样才能在工作中发挥出更大的优势? 和你的经理谈谈你能接受哪些能让你发挥自己独特才能和能力的新任务或项目。
在我周围有没有合适的人？也许你无法选择你的同事，但是你可以决定你想和谁在一起。关心激励你的人。
我该如何讲述我自己为什么做这件事的故事？“因为我必须这样做，”这是一个答案。 但还有另一种可能是:“我每周都要做一份财务报告，以便领导能更好地做出更好的决策，帮助公司实现目标。” 如果你能更深入地了解你的职责背后的目标，你将更有动力去实现它们，同时你也将更能够去发现新的机遇。
