MWC_LifeBeginsAt40 Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 My concentration is shot. I love my job, and I'm learning new things, but I am just not motivated. I spent the majority of last year working on a specific project, and it was great, but as of January this year I went back to my usual duties, which is project oriented as well as other stuff. I don't have alot of routine duties. It's nice in some ways in that alot of what I do I have to initiate. I used to pump out alot of work and I was on everyone's case about following procedures and trying new things but I haven't done much since January. I'm really starting to annoy myself. I have a few projects that are a bit over my head, and I don't have anyone here who can help me/mentor me. I am taking courses to learn the stuff better. I like a challenge, but lately I give up and just go on LS to kill time Maybe they should catch me and then move me out of my office into a cubicle out in the open. It's not depression, although I separated in January. I think it is more work-related boredom than emotional. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get motivated to work again? If I can come through on some big projects, management will notice and I should get a nice raise next year. This year's raise sucked although I got a bonus for working on that project, but last year I got 11%.
reservoirdog1 Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 I totally know where you're coming from... I'd love an answer to the same question. I should be jazzed about my career at this point but I'm not. It's probably all the trauma of the past two years but that's wearing thin. Anybody have any wisdom?
