But I actually don't think that's true.
I think a lot of us are asking a very fair question, which is, why does a lifestyle we spend the majority of our adult years in so often feel deeply misaligned with how we naturally want to live?
Do I just have to get used to this?
Or is it actually that wrong to want more?
Here's the thing.
I don't think the issue is always the job.
It is the structure that it demands from us and the fact that for a lot of people, it will never be fulfilling.
Just the very nature of that work is not fulfilling.
So what's next?
That's what we're going to discuss today.
The three reasons why the nine to five may feel so unnatural for you personally.
The personality factors that influence your tolerance or indeed your enjoyment of this lifestyle.
how to love your life outside of your job using some very important psychological hacks.
And I guess when it's time to risk it and try something beyond the traditional nine to five work lifestyle and your plan, your exact plan for doing so from somebody, i.e.
myself, who has done it.
So stay with us.
Why is it that our nine to five can feel so unnatural and foreboding at times?
Basically, why does it feel like such a scam that we spend our entire lives in service of somebody else with a weekend and maybe four weeks vacation, if you're lucky?
I know that's a very dramatic take to call the nine to five life a scam, but I know it's a take that a lot of you have, and I think that's for a few reasons.
Number one, it is never just a nine to five.
