MWC_LifeBeginsAt40 Posted August 18, 2005 Share 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%. Link to post Share on other sites
reservoirdog1 Posted August 18, 2005 Share 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? Link to post Share on other sites
