Do you love what you do?
What if you were forced to take a couple of weeks of off time each year. Not a vacation where you go somewhere. Just random couple of weeks of time off.
A few rules apply:
- You cannot work on anything connected to your organization.
- You cannot be talking, emailing or getting in-touch with people at work.
You get up in the morning, no emails, no fires, no colleagues, no tasks. Just silence.
Most people who claim to love what they do would freak out if this was done to them. If you are one of them, chances are that you do not truly love what you do. You just love your job. That or your job is just keeping you busy.
People who love what they do hardly have time for insecurities and freaking out. Most of them have activities other than work that allow them to workout their creative mussels. This is why countless kickass programmers spend their time blogging, coding on open source projects, launching free products and answering questions on free forums.
These folks would be just as happy if you brought them out of their work environment and gave them a month long unplanned time off.
Others will freak out and resort to nothingness.
Which of these two groups do you belong to?
When you have nothing to do, what is it that you usually do?
Just a little something to think about.
