I’m Built to Work
Summary
- I find it fascinating that in the Bible, the first thing God gave Adam wasn't a wife, but a job – to tend to the Garden.
- Even if you're not religious, it's clear that humans are built to work.
- Many people would benefit if they stopped seeing work as a bad thing.
- Instead, view work as the path to getting what you want.
- Eventually, try to turn work into something you actually want to do.

How To Take Action
I suggest implementing a few actionable strategies to change how you view work and make it more meaningful.
Shift Your Mindset:
- Start by changing your perspective on work. See it as a path to achieving your goals rather than a tedious task.
- Write down your main goals and how your work helps you get closer to them. Keep this list where you can see it daily.
Small Wins:
- Set small, achievable daily tasks. Completing these tasks can give a sense of accomplishment and keep you motivated.
- Celebrate small wins. Recognize and reward yourself for completing your tasks, even if it's something simple like taking a break.
Find Joy in Your Work:
- Identify aspects of your job you enjoy and focus more on them. This can transform how you feel about your work.
- Look for ways to inject more of your interests into your daily tasks. For example, if you like talking to people, find more opportunities to interact within your role.
Optimize Workflow:
- Evaluate your daily tasks and look for ways to streamline them. This can save time and reduce stress.
- Prioritize your tasks. Doing the most important ones first can make your day more productive and fulfilling.
Personal Growth:
- Take a few minutes each day to reflect on what you learned from your tasks. This can help you grow and see the value in your work.
- Set personal development goals related to your work, like improving a skill or learning something new.
These steps are simple, cost little to nothing, and can significantly impact your relationship with work, leading to greater satisfaction and productivity.
