There are not a few people whose work has become so tedious, and who has little motivation to their work. And some of them have been thinking about job change.

The causes of lowering of motivation vary from people. For example, routine work, meet with the same person or just do what you are said by a boss or something.

Some people think they would not improve their motivation of work unless their company would change their work environment or strategy. Of course company’s policy or custom affect your motivation to some extent.

However, just awareness change of work can improve your motivation of the work. Let me introduce awareness-rising for people with low work motivation.

Trying to make the work environment better is really important. You can take up them immediately so please try.

Most workers go the same way while commuting. Let’s change your routine of commuting if you take the same train every day and walk the same way. How about taking a local train and go to work at ease if you take rapid-train every day?

Although you have to leave home earlier than usual, the scenery you always see looks different. So I recommend you should take a different route from home to the station or from the station to the office.

You can refresh yourself with fresh scenery. You may be able to be impressed by flowers along the way side or find new shops. Just taking different commuting route can make you feel better and make your approach to work change positively. Let’s give it a try.

Away from work is good way to improve your work motivation. You should take paid holidays and relax several days if possible. Traveling alone or staying at home and relax during holidays is also effective.

I recommend you take up what you wanted to do but couldn’t during the holidays. By away from work and enjoying your private time, you can get back yourself and your work motivation increases.

・Make the most of private time

Of course work is important but do you cherish your private time? Some people say they are too busy to make time for private. But you should enjoy private time. You can take up work out at a sports gym, or go to an arcade or karaoke to release your stress.

Starting something new would be better for you too. I recommend you go to a fancy cafe and have a lunch during lunch break if you are too busy to make private time. When you make the most of private and refresh your, your approach to work will change. So you should try it.

・Do you have a future goal?

To what extent do think about after 5 years or 10 years? Do you have a clear vision for future? Let’s think about what you want to be in the future and how you can make it.

If you need a license or a credential for your goal, you should try to get them soon. Setting goals lead to work motivation increase. If you need a transfer from one department to another for achieving your goal, you can consult with your boss or something.

・Evaluate your work performance

In case of occupation like a sales person, people can easily see what you achieved in work so they can easily improve their motivations. But in case of occupation difficult to evaluate performance, people tend to decrease work motivation when they cannot see what they have done.

If your job is difficult to see your achievement, you should evaluate your performance by yourself. Make some terms like work pace, accuracy and evaluate your performance after work. You can feel satisfied with your work performance by making your daily work visible.

How was that?

Have you ever seen a tedious routine from a different angle? People tend to feel their job is tedious routine when they have got used to their current situation. However it means they have got enough skills to work easily.

Do you think it is great assets in life? If you enough developed to feel your job is tedious routine, you will be able to go to the next step. You should not blame the environment on tedious routine and do nothing but you should try to change yourself positively and make it.
