Drive is Back

Last year was though at work - I was losing my motivation. I got promoted the year before and therefore missed some reachable target in the near future. Probably the COVID19-situation certainly also not contributed positively I assume. On average I worked 33 hours 27min per week in 2020. All that while having an all-inclusive contract, which means I was paid for 40+ hours.

This year is completely different: end of last year I got offered a new opportunity. A new position, new tasks, new responsibilities. My motivation completely changed, and my drive is back. Just today (and quite a few days during the first weeks of 2021) I was working easily 10+ hours a day. And I can’t complain: I like it. I have a goal in my mind. I know what I need to do. And it’s fun.

It is amazing how such a change of perspective can influence the overall mood so drastically. I’m looking forward to this year and the coming challenges.
