Coming up, I'm going to share the real reason why you're bored at work and then what is that impact

having on you?

And then why Americans don't care as much about work as they

used to. This is fascinating stuff. We'll break it down next.

Welcome to the Ken Coleman Show. This is where we help you grow personally

so that you can advance professionally and then lead effectively. In other words

winning at work, getting the competitive edge to win at work.

So we're going to talk about boredom today because boredom gets overlooked a lot when we talk

about thriving at work and winning at work and the impact that has on us and so we're going to dive into this.

Boredum causes as much burnout as being overworked.

I think some of you are a little bit shocked by that.

Now, they feel very different,

but the effect is very similar.

A boring job or mindless work that's not stimulating you in any way may seem like an easy way to pay the bill.

Some of you're going, I want that boring mindless job.

Okay. But it's killing your soul. That's what you don't see.

See, doesn't feel stressful because quite frankly it isn't but it's a sign that you are in the wrong seat

maybe on the wrong bus. So I want to pause right here and I want to address the cynics.

Because there is a massive amount of people in this country

and around the world that love the concept of a boring job that doesn't push them, that doesn't pull them.

They just say, hey, this is great. I got plenty of mind candy and mine snacks to keep me going through the day and I barely have to exert myself at all. In fact, maybe exerting is not even in the realm of reality. You just don't ever exert yourself because it is so in fact easy and boring and you say to yourself and

you've convinced yourself by the way and I believe that you believe that a boring job is just what you want.
