My work schedule got unexpectedly rearranged this week, just after coming back from my end-of-year vacation, because I got “volunteered” to help with another group’s project. Of course, that’s not at all unusual in the corporate world; and though it can be uncomfortable to be pushed out of one’s usual routine, sometimes that can be a useful nudge to avoid getting stuck in a rut. It’s all too easy to end up always doing the same work, without thinking of much beyond getting a paycheck and buying more stuff.

Although I’m enjoying the new things my family got for Christmas, there is certainly much more to a happy life besides how we spend our money. It’s always good to be reminded of that, even if the catalyst for reflection might sometimes be a bit of workplace distraction!

  1. Workplace rearrangement stokes the creative juices … helps the group with looking at a new perspective, and gives the additional member a new path of revelation as well as reflection. What a way to start down the New Year’s path. Thank you for sharing!

  2. Hi Meg, everything has it’s up and down, and I agree it’s difficult to balance between what we have and what we could have working more. To do or not to do, only stress ahead!
