Recently, work has been a bit idle, which can be said to be the most idle state in my career for more than a decade. This idleness makes people a little uneasy.
If it doesn't matter if you are idle in other periods, you are planning to buy a house in the near future, and you need a stable source of income, and it needs to be maintained for a period of time.
This kind of leisure makes people feel that they will be unemployed at any time, and they also face the problem of reemployment if they become unemployed during the epidemic. Leisure has become a kind of pressure.
I rarely communicate with programmers' colleagues. It is estimated that in this special period, working overtime will not be possible. I don’t know, do you think your work is very busy? Is busy with value?
Now 996 has rarely heard people talk about it, perhaps Internet people are used to it. Instead, I had some exchanges with friends in other industries, and found that many industries are no less leisurely than programmers. And compared with programmers, there is no way to see intuitive income.
Just a dream
I had a dream last night, in which the dog was lost, and I was anxious to find it everywhere. I guess I was looking for it all night, otherwise I won't get so tired in the morning.
Zhougong interprets his dream: dreaming that the dog has been lost is very anxious. Although your current luck in your career is not very good, you still have opportunities in your future career. If you only see immediate benefits instead of long-term plans, then In the end, you are the one who suffers. You must know how to be peaceful.
The analysis of this dream should not be too in line with the status quo and mood. The joy of work is not related to free and busy, but whether the work is what you want and whether it is in your career plan.
Let me talk about examples of three friends around me.
Friend of the boss
A friend who is a boss said that this is the only hobby that I have persisted in. No matter how difficult it is, I will come step by step.
Being your own boss, you have to worry about everything, getting up early and greedy for the dark, there are no weekends and holidays, this is normal.
Busy may not be the hardest thing, and the hardest thing may be that you don’t find a point of interest and stay idle.
Friends who are civil servants
A few friends from college, there is such a small group, occasionally chat. Friends who are engaged in education are more leisurely. In their spare time, drinking wine and eating meat or something, let us go sightseeing.
In contrast, friends who are civil servants have only had two and a half days of rest from the second day of the new year to the present because of the epidemic and disasters this year.
I was shocked at that time, it was so hard. Moreover, I often work until one or two in the middle of the night, and the meals I eat are also very simple. Sometimes I just eat some white rice and pickles.
I once joked in the group: I want to mix with XXX, I want to eat meat, not pickles.
It can be said that everyone is for a better future, but if there are no dreams in their hearts, it is estimated that few people can stick to this kind of life.
Official account operator
Recently, he chatted with friends operating the official account. He said: Sometimes I write articles until 2 am. Of course, you still need to go to work the next day.
What is the driving force? It is definitely not profitable to operate the official account at the beginning, and it will take a very long period of time and a lot of time and energy to invest in it.
I used to operate the official account for the purpose of making money, but later discovered that it is actually difficult to make money. So slowly return to the essence: purely for output, to share knowledge, to force yourself to grow. This way, I can persist.
summary
I heard Ma Yun said that 996 is a blessing before, and some disdain: this capitalist! But after experiencing more workplace feelings and understanding more diverse workplace roles, I agree with him instead. But you can add a qualifier: if you have a dream in your heart, 996 is also a blessing.
Being busy and busy doesn't mean anything, the key is to stick to it for what. When busy or busy makes you miserable, it is likely that the goal is wrong.
