I Just Don’t Feel Like Working

Have you at any time felt like you simply don’t want to work? That’s just my situation at this moment. Good riddance, I can only take that decision confidently because I run my own business – simply put, I am my own boss. Since I have no boss or somebody to report to, the outcome of my decision regarding how and when I work is my own cup of tea, isn’t it?

Well, perhaps you are envious of me if you work in a conventional environment where you need to meet deadlines and report to a boss. Certainly, you don’t have an option but to work – even if you don’t feel like working, you have no right to act according to your feeling. Now here’s the question, is there anything you can do or learn about this feeling, of ‘I don’t feel like working?’

Firstly, take a moment to ponder on the source of this feeling. Perhaps it may be that you are overworking yourself and the weight of your labor is crying out from within you. Or could it be that your assigned task is so daunting that you are completely confused on where to begin from. It maybe could also be that something else besides this daunting task is pre-occupying your mind. If not, is it that you are hungry, tired, irritated, bored or not having someone to interact with? You can go on and on to list the likely pulls away from work.

The next thing is to get a clue on how you can be your own caregiver. Even at the peak hour of the day’s job, if you feel your skills and speed is being retarded, just take a time out – even if it is just 5 minutes and step out of your routine momentarily. This is a great way to rejuvenate your drained body or mind.

The following is some instances;

• The thought of commencing a new project seems not to excite you; you can’t just bring your mind to put your take off ideas together. At such moments, simply walk away from your physical space for 5 or 10 minutes. You may stroll into the next office occupied by one of your colleagues or simply walk into the conference room. You may also choose another direction, but the important thing is that you need to walk away momentarily from your space, in order to refresh your mind and think better.

• Perhaps you stayed awake late in the night for few consecutive days – so, exhaustion and sleeplessness are written all over you. All that fill your mind at that moment is to go home and catch a nap – since you may not act upon this feeling as someone accountable for a boss, simply lock your office’s door (if you have an office to yourself). Place your head on your desk for at least 5 minutes to catch a catnap – it would be helpful to set your cell phone alarm to wake you up after 5 – 10 minutes. If you don’t have an office to yourself, just stand and stretch or simply walk away for few minutes to refresh.
