What can I do?

This is probably not what you want to hear right now, but hear me out. By now you would have caught on that Better is all about Designing a new Life, that includes your Work Life.

Quitting is such a pain, you got to start again earning your reputation with new people and no one likes the eating a sad salad at their desk when the rest are down at the local.

Good news alert – you’re a designer now right, so we gotta look at the raw materials. Bill Burnett and Dave Evans taught me this great technique of:

Reframe: Go back to your company's DNA. What are their values – how can you 10x that in your input and watch others start to squirm

Remodel: Get your Job Description out and start to be honest on what you can do more of, and delegate more of. Get a Job Description 2.0

Relocate: Check out what current roles are in the office, and if they are more exciting then go through your HR process and move out of hating your job

Reinvent: Plan your department exit strategy and new department entry strategy – work openly with HR and your line manager. The average number of jobs now is 17 in a lifetime, start using them!

I'm here to help you Design Your Life.

This time for real.
