How do I get satified with my job?

 

I am trying to figure out how to be more satified with my job.  I am good at what I do as far as cleaning up the environment goes but am not happy with the everyday part of my job.  I cann't keep focus on the daily tasks.  I have to write reports, keep track of my time, keep up with my schedule, along with alot of other things that don't have to do with going out in the field and cleaning up an oil spill for example.  I'm sure I'm not alone but I just don't get satisifaction out of the parts of my job (the majority) that don't include going out and doing the work. 

 

OK, now going back and reading what I just wrote, I see that I am complaining.  Is the answer.....Don't complain about it?  I do get satifaction out of completeing a job, even though it sometimes takes months.  But sometimes jobs don't get completed because they are very complex or there is no money to continue.  I just want to get satisfaction out of the day to day.  I am hoping to someday be happy with the day to day and the life that goes with it.

says: Is there a way you could relate the less desirable parts of your job back to the original goal that drew you to it in the first place?When I had a job with moments like this, I found it helpful to make tiny challenges for myself at every level-how *well* can I fill this out? How quickly? How can I innovate? Striving for excellence and task mastery can often help stoke motivation and builds up that little feeling of self-satisfaction each time. I don't think the answer is not complaining because complaints are just thoughts that serve to remind us that we either need to change our approach or our activity in some way. It must be frustrating when some jobs you invest your time in don't come to fruition but maybe if you can find a way to push for daily task-by-task excellence and innovation you will at least come away with the satisfaction that you learned and improved yourself while doing each project justice. Best of luck to you!Laughing
