Because you learned and always did your job a certain way, it may seem obvious to you.
However, if one of your coworkers shows you a job-specific technique that saves time on a tedious task, you will likely follow his advice to make your life easier, provided it has no downsides. Thus, you will evaluate this new product.
Our work and life habits are vital to our well-being but can hinder our personal and professional growth.
They're harder to remove the longer they're installed. They encourage good lifestyle habits but annoy bad ones.
After 10 years in the same job, adapting to a new one may be harder than if you change jobs every year.
Before diving into professional advice, let me share a simple but effective exercise.
I discovered this exercise in Chiara GAMBERALE's Ten Minutes a Day, which has changed my life.
Chiara had a stable relationship, projects, a job, and a cosy apartment in this book. It was all she needed right now.
She loses everything overnight. He doubted himself and his shrink suggested an unusual way to get his head above water.
Every day for 10 minutes, she does something new for herself. It can be simple (trying a new restaurant dish) or uncomfortable (going to talk to a stranger on the street without preparation or trying a new leisure activity).
The exercise works and Chiara discovers new parts of herself. Her life transforms gradually.
His tale captivated me. The novel was read in one afternoon. Out of curiosity, I tried this method in my daily life.
Besides being fun, it's efficacious. I still do this exercise whenever I can or think about it a year later. 10-minute daily. Easily remembered.
It's an easy exercise that improves your daily life.
If you want to expand your horizons, read this book.
Daily practise will form a habit. It will reveal new universes. If those ten minutes surprise you and pique your interest, save the next ten minutes the next day to explore that area. etc. Universes you like will surprise you.
You can form an opinion based on your experience (and not just on your preconceptions). Even briefly.
This exercise lets you conduct mini-experiments in new areas. This "mini-adventure" will change your life.
As much as possible, you can perform this exercise with your entourage to boost its power. Many find this first step exciting. The Ithaque Coaching article Professional retraining: entourage and feeling of loneliness discusses entourage importance.
Long-term habit change is required. Discovering new places is exciting. The process is about pinpointing passions. This indicates a successful exercise.
Ten minutes a day is nothing. Long-term accumulation creates a lot of new knowledge/activities. You'll learn thirty domain facts in a month.
The first step is wanting to expand one's professional horizon out of curiosity or a desire for change. This engine will motivate you.
You will change by reconciling your habits and life constraints. This intention to broaden your professional horizon allows you to be surprised by life while acting in it.
Starting this habit is simple. However, long-term adherence is harder. Routines are powerful and tempting. If you stay on track, you'll enjoy those ten minutes a day.
This will improve your professional and personal growth habits. Simply enjoy!
