Credits go to Mrs Hannah Mason.
If you are fed up with your job, it's likely for one of these two reasons:
1. Youâre too stressed
2. Youâre too bored
The problem is, these two things work in cycles and are hard to completely avoid.
You start a new job and everything is new, itâs stressful, the level of challenge is high, sometimes too high, and youâre scared youâll burn out.
Then, you start to figure it out. The challenge is still there but you feel like you can tackle it. Youâre in your sweet spot and youâre happy.
Then, it becomes easy. Youâve done everything a million times and could do your job in your sleep. Youâre bored and under-challenged.
So, you go for a promotion or a new job.
And the cycle starts again.

Perhaps, instead of resenting each stage of this cycle, we would be happier if we recognised its inevitability and learned to appreciate the benefits of where we are right now.
