Craft your job

You may find a disconnect between what you want and where you are now. That could be causing your languishing.

Take proactive steps to improve your happiness at work.

  • Shift your mindset. Figure out how your current work satisfies you and helps those around you. Ask, "What’s the impact I’m having by doing this task?”
  • Look for ways to change the type of tasks you do, their scope, sequence or number.
  • Create emotional connections with the people around you.

If your current job doesn't allow you to craft your job, it may be time to move on.
