Hero or victim of work?

It's no different as an adult. We work and live by following rules. This plays a particularly important role in the workplace, as we have to solve various tasks with tools, our own strength and knowledge. Even in the best workplace, in the position in which we feel good, it happens that we have a lot of work. You may feel like you can't see the end of the tunnel.

Those who have already lost themselves in their tasks and did not complete an important work process because they forgot about it or were immersed in the completion of smaller ones, may now make a note of what they have to do that day. The fact that we describe the tasks that we have to perform helps them to become imprinted. In fact, this way we are already aware of the next work process.

This is only one side of the coin. It's okay to know what we have to do. But what about time? If we rationally think about what we plan to do in a day and rely only on reality, we can judge whether we can achieve it all or not.

However, we like to think that we are much luckier and faster, so we can repeatedly fall into our own trap: we make a list for ourselves that could not be accomplished even if we had superpowers.

Other times, however, it is simply the case that, although completing the prescribed tasks would fit into our time, we do not manage it properly, so the reins slip out of our hands.

If we increasingly feel that we cannot accomplish what we imagined by the end of the day, then there is probably a problem of overcommitment (provided that we really work all day). The constant workload is also physically, mentally and spiritually tiring, so sooner or later, it can have more serious consequences. We can take this as a temporary period, but we don't even notice that this temporary period has been going on for quite some time. In other words, we deceive ourselves that the extra workload will soon be over.

The more we take on, the more it may seem to those around us (boss, co-workers) that we can still handle the load. Don't be surprised if others worry about a little more work.

It is also a common mistake to believe that the work process performed more often is also performed faster. Although this is not so clear and simple, we still calculate it this way in time, and here a big slippage in our commitment can already occur.

We believe and hope that the manager will not only pay attention to our work ethic, but will also remember to reward all of this. Unfortunately, this is not nearly as clear. But if they want to entrust us with a bigger job, then it must be said that there is more recognition for it.

Many people believe that they have such a superpower that only they can do the given task. However, if they could work together with others, they could finish sooner and in the meantime, the relationship could improve a lot in terms of communication and joint work.
