How to push through

Sometimes work just feels like moving through molasses: everything takes forever, nothing works, the dominant emotion is boredom.

It means you're stuck in the rut, and your mind needs to realign. You need a break.

Take a step back, and ask yourself: why am I doing this? Is it money? Is it chasing something? Is it the call of duty?

Sometimes we forget about the most important thing that keeps us going. We can't see the forest for the trees. Cannot focus on real work, because it's obscured by meetings, pointless requirements, office politics.

It won't be easy to get your mojo back, but the first step is: what's holding you back? Take a good look from a different perspective, and tackle the biggest cause of frustration you can find.
