It's Just A Job
It’s okay to think of your job as “just a job.” It’s still important to do it well, but there’s no harm in thinking of it the way the dictionary does:
- “a regular remunerative position”;
- “something that has to be done,” like grocery shopping or filling up your car’s gas tank;
- or “something done for private advantage.”
The point is, a job is just a job: an exchange of your labour for your employer’s cold, hard cash. But it’s also something that you can use to your advantage to help you further your personal goals.

Use Your Job to Learn New Skills
If your work provides resources for learning and development, use them.
- Learn skills that will increase your pay.
- Learn skills for personal fulfilment.
- Learn skills to switch roles. Find someone at work who has the role that you want, and reach out to them to learn more.

Use Your Job For The Benefits Package
If your employer provides benefits, max them out as much as possible. Whatever form they take, you’ve earned them. If a store clerk was giving you $5 in change, would you refuse that?
Sometimes those benefits might not be flashy, but you can still use them to your advantage. It could be a free meal offered by your company or some allocated budget to upgrade your wi-fi.

Use Your Job To Build Relationships
When you spend 40 hours a week with other humans, you’re bound to develop some kind of relationship with one or more of them (hopefully positive ones?). You don’t have to be interested in becoming lifelong friends with your coworkers, but there’s at least value in networking with them.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
