Hating What You Do
This piece from The Economist shocked me about what is going on in French workplaces. Nowadays I have a better idea of what I mean when I say Work-Life balance. But I still have problems with my compass. My internal mechanisms that should help point me toward the place of balance do not work as well as they should. So like anyone else I have had those days, even weeks when I wished I was not at the place I was. I have had many occasions on which I reconsidered even my chosen profession. But I have never considered it in isolation as the root of all my troubles and certainly not to the extent that I would take my own life as a result.
Sharpen the saw as Covey says. Sharpen the saw, and live another week to fell even more trees.
