what is the solution to that because it's probably not just quit your job that's too simplistic it's like when people hear about your relationship problems and are like just dump him like yeah get it over with dump him like that's not how it works it's not how life works
At this stage, you have two options.
You either have to find a way to tolerate the nine to five by making your life around it bigger and grander, or you have to find an alternative to the nine to five that sits better with your desires and personality and make the transition to it.
We're going to explore both of these alternatives after this short break.
Stay with us.
I had my boyfriend over and I had dirty dishes everywhere.
And I put the dirty dishes in our closet so he wouldn't see them.
Okay, if the idea of the 9 to 5 is leaving you feeling entirely empty, as I said, you have two options.
De-center your 9 to 5 or find an alternative.
We're going to start with number one.
Even if you aren't made for the 9 to 5 lifestyle and you identify with one of those personality types we just spoke about, it may just be unavoidable based on what you've chosen to do, maybe even what you love to do.
It may also be unavoidable just based on the time you're at in your life.
I think for a lot of people in their 20s, the 9 to 5 may not be forever, but it is for right now in order to establish your career.
To avoid feeling crushed by it, we have to work on strengthening our out-of-work personality, interests, and life to be seismically bigger and more impressive than our workplace, personality, interests, and life.
This is what we're going to do.
Number one,
We need to delineate between the two different sides of our life almost physically.
And we can do that by creating any kind of ritual that signals to our brain that we are switching from one part of our life to the other at the beginning and end of the workday.
Some examples of that are always having a shower as soon as you finish work, especially if you work from home.
always changing your clothes before you leave work, always going for a walk after you finish the day, shutting your laptop, zipping it away, leaving it at work if you can, if you work from home, putting it in a specific location, listening to the same song, same album, anything like that.
