You're in a slump at work, or you're not working at all. You find yourself being negative and blaming those around you including your boss, family or friends for your lack of sleep, poor performance or bad attitude.
It's time for a wake up call.
Get off your arse and get some stuff done.
It's not your family or nagging boss that's the problem, it's you. Take note of what it is you're complaining about and look for the underlying cause.
Is your boss nagging you about slow sales or a project that's late? It's most likely not that your boss is having a bad a week. It's more likely that your boss has identified something you're either not doing well or aren't doing at all.
Criticisms whether from inside ourselves or from others usually have a basis in fact. Listen to yourself and those that know you best. Identify the problems that need attention and get some stuff done.
When you're done fixing the problem, don't look for a pat on the back for doing something expected of you. Turn to the next problem and fix it.
Before long you'll find you have a better attitude and your friends, colleagues and family aren't so bad after all.
Now stop “hangin' out” on the internet and get some stuff done!
