ENJOY YOUR WORK....

YOUR JOB IS NOT a game. But when you approach it like a game, you’ll enjoy it more and you’re more likely to be successful at it.

If you want to experience more flow on the job, then, simply learn to become more engrossed in your work. Learn to “get into it.”

If your job is stressful or boring, however, becoming absorbed is difficult. If what you’ve got is stress, that means the challenge of your job, either physically or psychologically, is greater than your skills. The answer is to find out what skill you need to improve and work on that. Increase your skill. That’s the answer to stress.

Find a way to become absorbed. You’ll enjoy your work more. Get so engrossed in your work that you forget about everything else, like where it’s getting you. It’ll get you a lot further that way.

                     

Hope this was very useful !!! 

Lets Enjoy our jobs and be happy !!!! 

Do you really enjoy your work ???????

In order to enjoy our work a few things are very important.  (1) Our hobbies must meet or be in line with our job. (2)We shall approach the problems and obstacles in our jobs as challenges not burden.  (3) We shall focus on learning from every situation that we may face during work & (4) To always try to create value out of any given situation at our workplace.

In any organization, there are three levels of skills; Technical, Human and Conceptual, corresponding to lower, middle and senior management levels.

Namrata must be referring to skilled workers either in Factory or in IT field, where work is man and machine combination.Productivity in terms of set parameters is the goal.

In Routine kind of jobs, fatigue is a factor and this is overcome by breaks in 8 hours a day work and facilities for relaxing in factory premises.You set the machine and the parts come out.

Where constant application of mind is equally important in trying to get what you want from the programed machine and that too with dead lines, gives raise to Stress.

Apart from the economic necessity, what gives fillip to work force is sense of achievement in doing a perfect job and in time, in meeting the overall goals of the organization,

One derives Happiness out of that fulfillment and that is joy. Happiness is not out side us and does not depend on out side factors.

Namrata, Thanks for the referral. 

I'm just wondering "is one not getting monotonous by being too involved at work". If you are too familiar and comfortable with the complexities at work, you do enjoy the variants because you are almost anticipating the situation and you are prepared with an answer. It is like a teller issuing money at a nationalised bank (considering nationalised bank to hi-light the human element). But happiness and enjoying the work some how don't go together in my opinion. Also how would you look at challenges that end up at your table for various reasons including political, absentism, bossism and other negative factors prevalent at the work environment. 

Well clearly, When you enjoy your work the output is exponentially more than the logical count. But it is a discrete pockets of happiness and one having a smiley on the table and trying to be happy at work all along continuously seems theoretical. Managing stress and sources of stress gain significance in staying focussed on the work.

Hi
I agree with your thought process,but you can enjoy your work only when you are passionate about your work.
People enjoy achieving things.It is ownership and accomplishment the things you can be proud of participating in. if you can laugh together,you can presumably work together and enjoy.Humour helps with ambiguities at work.Humour is particularly good in helping people, deal with disturbing realities.
By giving more and better service than you are paid for, by finding out more about your job and the job above it, and putting your heart & soul into the organisation that employed you, you become the most important factor for your success and happiness.

Ramesh.

Wow...everyone agreeing to this..but would like to think a bit different.. More n more i read the statement it gives me a feeling that their is a adaptability or adjustment factor coming into picture..I guess rather than discovering where to improve upon look at the areas where you stand out or where you are better then the best. This would help in 2 ways:

1. Obviously sumthing you are good at you would have loved it so  much that it comes easier to you. So obviously you will excel & importantly be happy
2. You need not give yourself a kick start everyday to so called "ENJOY YOUR WORK" b'coz it would come naturally to you..

So rather than supressing the artist,sportsperson,naturelover,or a creative person ..discover it..

"The answer is to find out what skill you need to improve and work on that. Increase your skill. That’s the answer to stress." 
I disagree with this statement of yours. It pretty much states that most people are low on skills. Thats not true. In fact skills and stress are completely different things. When it comes to work related stress, it could be anxiety, fatigue levels, etc, and it could be caused by hundreds of reasons and work pressure is just one of them. 

But I do agree with the larger context that work should be enjoyed instead of confronted. Only that leads to job confidence and fulfillment in one's life in terms of their professional goals.

Its some thing easy to be spoken..but in reality the work environment matters.Does people really enjoy working under immense pressure ..i don't think so....surely the principle is true as he or she cannot deliver the expected result if you hate the job or working merely to earn salary.This concept  again differs with respect to industry.

i feel that one should opt for the job in which one feels connected..our job reflects our personality and if we choose our job inappropriately somewhere we feel incomplete and that incomplete pinches us somewhere..stress factor is universal in every job so,to keep yourself stress-free indulge in some stress-busters activities..

Yes the key is 'GET INTO IT'. Unless we get into it then whatever job we do we cannot succeed. We have to love our job. We must love the particular task that we are assigned. We must not look to others and try to imitate or wish that you had their job. Even a housewife can love her job. Be it taking care of the kid, washing the clothes, cleaning the house, cooking all can be fun if taken as such.

Read the book 'FISH'. It preaches the same thing. However, this works in organisations where people are treated fairly, not in places where HR & Management are discriminatory and exploitative.

This is far from reality!  If you are in metros and the distance between your workplace and residence is, say, 15 kms and more, then your passion for job gives a different story altogether.  People spend close to 6 to 8 hours on commuting, by the time you reach your work place, you are totally exhausted, negativity replacing all your positive vibes when you start for work, etc.  All your creativity gets covered by mundane ubiquitous problems of commuting, etc.  If your workplace adopts electronic access control, etc., your woes will get multiplied - leading to loss of pay for consecutive late coming, etc.  How can you treat and approach, then, your work like a game!

hi Namrata, thats a nice thought but what i think that your views present an eternally optimistic approach its like that " the house is on fire and u r trapped inside and thinking that everything will go fine just let me enjoy the heat" ultimately it will burn u.. i dont want to sound like a pessimist but the fact of the matter is that there are lot other factors at work besides only the work u may enjoy and get engrossed in the work but there are certain things which will definitely make u uncomfortable and u just cant escape them... the beautiful rose is always accompanied by thorns..

All emotions comes through training of mind, joy is also an emotion and state of mind, wish it comes to all, with proper training of mind, 
it comes when conditions and situations do not govern the mind, and you are dedicated to service, without condition or situation.

Namrata,
With all due respects to you,this is classroom stuff absolutely alien to reality.
Its an old paradigm what you have stated and gurus of management & HR consultants have made moolah propagating  notional theories and rhetoric in workshops.
The Need of the Hour is balancing work with privacy.
New Economic order after the recesion has given an unconditional qualification to corporates who demand a 15 hour shift from you in the NAME OF WORK TILL DEATH TO SURVIVE.
Its the insecurity syndrome that is leading to poor inter personal relations both at home and at work which rubs off on your skills.
So really the problem is much deeper than stress and how to bust it.
It has to re dressed back to the HR principles and New rules for work.
