Date: February 2nd, 2021 8:47 PM Author: claret razzle pit giraffe No. Will those help? I’m serious, I need to learn how to just be one of those robots who revels in the pleasures of work for work’s sake. That is the expectation. |

Date: February 2nd, 2021 8:49 PM Author: marvelous theater well her main novels (The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged) definitely have lots of pro-productivity ideas. i don't know if they'll help your specific situation, since i don't know your background, what you do or what your attitude towards your work is, but they might help and are worth reading in their own right (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4756606&forum_id=2\u0026show=week#41875716) |

Date: February 2nd, 2021 11:30 PM Author: angry exciting friendly grandma It's exceptionally hard when you're a lawyer. At least for me it is.
I like sales and did it before going to law school. The motivation to work is very directly connected to your income in a tangible way: make the sale, get paid. Make more sales, get paid more.
What incentive do I have to review some dense, boring as fuck legal document at 10pm and then discuss it with others? It's an atrocious way to live and I am completely unmotivated to do it. |
|
Date: February 2nd, 2021 11:33 PM Author: claret razzle pit giraffe The hardest, most tedious work just stays on your desk for a week, then 2 weeks. It just sits. It’s miserable coming in everyday and seeing that albatross sitting there. |
|
Date: February 2nd, 2021 11:36 PM Author: angry exciting friendly grandma I know lawyers who come in, close their office door, and grind out work unflinchingly for hours. It blows my mind. Just hours on end alone in a room doing an incredibly boring, tedious, and somehow stressful job.
