How special is it to effortlessly rise out of bed and begin your day?

8 years ago I never thought it was possible. From then to now however, it has been truly a feeling of freshness….not sure of the right word….just the 'bestist' feeling ever.

I'm in love with what I do every day in this supposed 'job' I've created for myself.

It has been difficult to not listen to those who say "You're too busy"….."Too much work makes K a dull girl"etc. When I don't feel dull at all! Quite the contrary.

After watching Australian Story last night on the box, and reading your honest words…. I'm beginning to understand that if I am to help myself to be satisfied with me for all my days there is a need to surround oneself with fabulous people & wash off those damaging comments 'friends' seem to make. It's tricky though – tuning off those you are 'meant' to love.

Hmmmmm life hey – what a journey!

Do most people get fat when they are on a cheesecake-only diet? Yes. But there are always one of those freaks (the right word?) that can eat cheesecake for every meal and don’t get fat. But are doctors still going to recommend not eating cheesecake for every meal? Certainly, because they are more likely right than wrong in making the recommendation.

So basically what the research tells us, if anything, is that most people are more productive working a certain number of hours and resting for the other hours. So assuming that everybody in the office is on that schedule, then the productivity is best.

Now what does that mean for you and me?

Absolutely nothing!

The kind of research result is only going to tell you that it’s most likely to have a productive workplace assuming that everybody is the same… but we are not. It’s probably ideal if you can find out what’s the optimal number of hours each person work based on their own particular situations, but a research that says “find out what’s good for each person” doesn’t seem very conclusive, so they all tend to generalize.

So these results are probably only meaningful to management or whoever that needs to figure out how many hours one should work. It’s like figuring out what portion size of a meal to give to everyone. They are trying to make the collective best result, instead of asking individuals who’s hungry and who’s too full.

That’s probably not the main point of this post, huh? =P

I love this post, it’s sooo true!!
I work casual hours and am very unhappy in my position. It doesn’t give me any enjoyment or fulfillment.

The good news is i am doing something positive about it and trying to find something i’m passionate about! Reading your posts gives me the encouragement to not give up and keep searching for my dreams!

Thank you Craig
