Are you living to work or are you working to live ? Already got a second job to get over with the finances ? Nobody to take care of the kids ? Your girlfriend complaining that you barely see each other ?
This article should not backfire against the anti-laziness campaigns out there! I totally encourage a productive society. The critical outside will say “I don’t want to be part of the ongoing and rising economical exploitation”.
Career
If you worked the past 10 years the same job, which consists of repetitive action, day and night shifts, doing the same story over and over again, AND you still wish for a succesful career, now it’s the time to change! You cannot hope for succes while doing the same every day. Bring some change in your life. I believe in the phrase “do what you love and you will never have to work a day in your life”.
Furthermore, if you think that your academic preparation does not help you to make a step ahead, that’s completely wrong! There is always auto-didactics and people who are willing to mentor you if you just show the right attitude.
Work-life balance
Even if you are a hard and passionate worker, you should not exagerate with over-time schedules and get a feeling on the amount spent at work and with friends or family. The results of doing the opposite will get you in a state of “fast-forwarding”, routine and can lead even to burn-out. A productive person does not spend more than 6 hours of work a day and in modern countries like Sweden it has already been adopted to the normal work week. The time spent at work does not have to be continuous, you should teach yourself how to work in “bursts” and use the 45 minutes work and 15 minutes break technique. Thas should not bring you out of focus if you are clearly into what you’re doing.
Financial freedom
Bring it one step further and stop wasting your money on new headphones or jewels. Buy instead the things which could generate income on their own and bring a passive income. A house and a car are an example of active income, which cost a lot of money and will always generate new costs. There are hundreds of examples on how to generate passive income like writing book reviews and monetize the content, affiliate marketing, stock investments. Find the one which is most suitable for you!
