The Future of Our Job Lies in Working More Deeply and Intensely
4 ways I’m building differentiating skills in my workday
When I’ve started my new job in full remote, I was worried that it didn’t stimulate my mind enough by giving me mindless tasks.
Fortunately, I found my employer to be a supporter of demanding and elaborate work. He understood my need to work long hours without being interrupted by superficial tasks. In this case, to work on the creation of engaging and interactive marketing content.
He had even his opinion about it : “During my days, I always try to manage my time to make the most of my work potential. I segment my tasks into blocks of concentration, focusing specifically on where I can contribute the most, such as strategy thinking or customer demos”.
In the world of knowledge workers, however, not all of us have understanding employers. Even ourselves we can be afraid to engage in tasks that require high concentration. We prefer to make presentations and meetings rather than actually work on our projects. It’s so much simpler.
