On: How to Make Yourself Work When You Just Don’t Want To

[bnegreve]

That's how it should be, but I suspect that in most cases, people work simply because they are supposed to.

E.g. (quoting the article)

> If it is 2pm, then I will stop what I’m doing and start work on the report Bob asked for.

What's the long term goal here? Being in good terms with Bob? Keeping your job? Are those the goals that you should care about?

Yep.

At the very least, you want to abandon your current job on your own terms, not by being fired. But keep in mind that even great jobs (including owning your business here) have boring tasks that must be fulfilled.
