Trying a New Work Strategy: Disassociation

My new work strategy.

  • Work my 8.5 to 9 hours.  No more. 
  • Listen to what others have to say, but if it is bull shite, and it affects me, don't take it personally.  Nod, keep my comments to myself, and smile.
  • No over thinking. Covering my butt but beyond that, just do what I'm told.
  • Being nice to everyone, but keeping contact minimal and work related.
  • When work is done, turning off my work computer, and turning to (and hopefully enjoying) non-work task.
  • Committing myself to more upskilling and pondering how I want to finish out my next 10-15 years of work life, and trying to get there.
  • Not letting work or stress eat my seed corn...meaning regardless of what I think work demands, there are hard limits, and then I'm off to do what it will take to make me better, some of it aligning with work, some of it not.
  • Trusting no one, always trying to have a plan B in grasp.
  • Letting the chips fall where they may.  

In essence, doing my work, trying to do a good job, when when that metaphorical whistle blows, I'm OUT!
