Work - Examination

Ah work.  First things first.  Work is not life.  Life is not work.  Work should not be the only way I define my life.  It should be what I do in order to get the money to do those things that define my life.

Work should be fun and for the most part it is.  I like the people that I work with and for now, the work is fairly interesting.  I think the real problem is that work isn’t just a fun way to pass nine hours.  It really does matter to me.

That’s not necessarily bad. I like my company, I want to do a good job. But the company doesn’t always show me that it likes me back.  So it’s easy to get frustrated and think that this is all worthless.

My real problem is I can’t concentrate because I don’t have a real plan. I try to think of things to do throughout the day but I get easily distracted.  I waste a lot of time and thus end up doing less then I could.

I also want to advance in my career but I have very little respect for me and my decisions.  This is something that I get better with with experience but at the same time, without a constant stream of feedback I tend to assume that I’m not a bad job.

However, even if I do enjoy working, I really need to work on a my work-life balance.  I can’t come home and still be thinking of work.  I need to separate my home from work.
