Mentally, you’re two feet out the door. Or three. Heck, you may even be all the way down the block by now. The bottom line is this: You’re checked out at your job and you just don’t care anymore .
But you need to turn around and walk right back through that door, because even though you may not want to be there, you’re still committed to it.
There are several reasons you shouldn’t let your indifference decrease the quality of your work—for starters, you don’t want to burn bridges and you don’t want to let your team down. But, most importantly, you don’t want to ruin the awesome reputation you’ve built up.
This lackadaisical attitude you’ve adopted does not accurately characterize who you are. You’re a hard worker and a good teammate. And even if you don’t care about the projects you’re doing, you should still knock them out of the park while you’re there. Why? Because that’s who you are.
But how , you ask, do I motivate myself to work hard when I just don’t give a damn?
