Boredom is something that everyone experiences not only at work but also in life as well. It is awful! It makes you feel no longer interested of what you are doing or you do not have energy to work. Normally you feel you lost your love in your job’s routine.
Some of my colleagues and some of my friends in social media said that their work is not changing. Their work is boring. It is always the same. It is monotonous. There is nothing new. Sometimes it ends up they are complaining a lot of things.
From there, I decided to write this article to impart my knowledge based on my experience and on my intuition as well. This will also give you a better perspective for other people to try something new which will make them happier at work and put more energy in what they are doing.
Below are the things you can try to make you stay cool and happier at work when boredom strikes you.
1.) Learn something new. Learning something new in your team or from your boss can give you an enthusiasm to enjoy more at work. If you are in office you can learn more on how to use spreadsheets or word processing. There are many tools and functions from those software where you use it very seldom. Explore and do some google search. If you are doing customer service (front desk), you can learn other ways on how you will approach your customers. You can ask them how they feel now. You can practice a better way to smile and greet them. There are a lot of things to learn on any field of expertise. All you have to do is to seek help and explore.
2.) Ask you boss. You can also ask your boss for any other things she/he can give other task to you. You can suggest having training on which will convince him/her that you will be more productive if you learn more things. Or on the other hand know your team’s objective from your boss. Normally some other company are not much focus on your department or team’s objective. Normally, in our daily work we are just only focus on our job without really knowing how important your job in attaining company’s objective. This is crucial in company’s growth. If your company is an ISO certified there are moments that this objective is being asked and need to give emphasis on your team.
3.) Be more compassionate with your colleague. As I mentioned above most of the time we are always focus in our job and not focusing in our environment or even our co-workers. Having concern will create a healthy working environment in your area. It will give also a positive ambiance to you and to your team. Good vibes is contagious. Choose to be jolly and happy at work rather than to be stressful and frowning worker.
4.) Be professional. With the day to day working, we sometimes forget to be composure and be professional. Assessing yourself of your current situation will determine the necessary improvement for yourself. Sometimes we are much focus of what we lack without being grateful of what we have. So be grateful and observe professionalism all the time.
5.) Talk to HR Personnel. Human resource is not only a team or department of hiring people. They studied behavioral science or psychology. So you can go to them and ask some advice on how to deal with job boredom. You can also have counselling to them I think some of them do not just focus on job challenges but also personal problems. Just be honest and be open so that anything that makes you bored will be addressed very well.
Some people tend to leave company because of their boring jobs. In fact there are many alternative ways out there how you will have a fulfilling career without boredom. Look into some way how you can contribute with your company. You should exercise positive attitude, this will give you more joy at work and create a better relationship with other people. You can make your working place enjoyable.It is always a choice. We always have a choice, always be better and go for the best in your life.
