Sunday of the bank holiday weekend and I knuckled down.
I had to clear down emails, work on copy for the new Fuzion brochure and work on new training materials for an updated social media course.
A dark cloud appeared over my head as I was in no mood for this work and everything was a grind for me.
The cloud got darker and darker and eventually I had to call a day on my work as we had planned to pop over to friends for the evening.
I was in poor form as we walked over to our buddies as I felt my “day off” had been ruined.
And then it came to me – I love what I do but I had been treating the work I had to do as a series of ‘chores‘ and not ‘challenges‘ because of my poor frame of mind and as a result my day and mood were ruined.
Every email was full of potential opportunity, the work on our brochure was a chance to really capture who we are and showcase why we are a special agency and the work on my new social media course notes was a way to explore new features and how to apply them.
I had wasted my day ..
If your work is a series of chores try changing your mindset and turn them into challenges.
If they are still chores despite the change of mindset then it’s time to change what you do!
Today was a great day..
