Monday Blues
Even so I recently said that I don't do too much on a Sunday I am pretty busy. And I have fun, a lot of fun.
In fact, I have so much fun that I don't like to go back to work on Monday. This has changed from earlier weeks and months. There was a time when I had a good weekend and still, I looked forward to working on Monday. Was energetic with projects and fun-filled activities.
I read somewhere that the engagement of an employee drops to "0" once he leaves the company for the evening. It is the motivation and power that a company provides, that lets the same employee get up in the morning and get back to work.
Engagement is a better word than employee satisfaction. I am saying that I can satisfied in my job by just hiding behind my computer and basically, and not do what I am paid to do - to help the company to succeed in the marketplace
I don't see myself too engaged currently. I am satisfied with what I am doing, but then, again, I have trouble becoming motivated and giving my best. Now I wonder: Are there magic tricks to get motivated? No - I don't believe in magic, but I am curious about what other people do to stay engaged and motivated in their job! Tell me.

tough one. set your own mini-challenges along the way - like I will complete one paragraph in 15 minutes. all the way up to lunch time. then reset.

Having difficulties engaging with your work? That makes two of us! Gosh, and I thought I was the only one :)
