Having been busy with daily tasks, not leaving any time for themselves, which makes many people fall into a state of confusion. It is inevitable to encounter obstacles in your career, but there is no need to change your career because of that.

CHANGE UP YOUR ROUTINE

A constant routine will turn your life into a lifeless pond. Leaving your computer where you've been working for nearly five hours, walking around the office and thinking about your travel plans for the next holiday, or even the design of projects you're not responsible for, can cheer you up. What's more, leave the office, stay away from fluorescent lights, and take a walk outside. Talking to a strange old man may inspire you of new inspiration in life sometimes.

In short, make some changes to your life.

START SAYING “NO!”

It is a great pleasure to be called "a good person who is willing to help" by colleagues and often hear "Thank you very much". But what should you do when these projects begin to pile up in the corner of your desk but you have no chance of meeting the deadline? When your workload starts to exceed your affordability, you should consider learning to say no. Being part of a team is something to be proud of, but it should not distract you from some more important things. At this point, when someone asks you for help, you should reject him decisively in an appropriate way, like, "As much as I would like to help you, this is not my area of expertise, so… You know…" It may not be easy to say at first, but time will make it easier for you after all.

DO SOMETHING EXCITING

Sometimes what bothers you most is not how to complete the task, but what to do next.

Take the time to think about what excites you most, whether to create a new game for the classroom or to come up with an effective teaching plan with your teaching team.
