Job crafting is about re directing where you spend your time within the work day so that you're investing on tasks that are more worth while. It also involves re framing some of the tasks that you're doing already. I have this exercise called the five wise and what it is asking you to do is first state your job and then ask, why do you do that? Oftentimes that first answer is for money. But then asking, why is that important? And having identified that, it actually makes some of my tasks more fend.
Listener Niki Walker has a question... in our busy, career-driven, money-oriented live, are we forgetting to make time for more important things?
In our first episode fielding questions from fans of The Happiness Lab, Dr Laurie Santos looks at the world of work and how we can prioritize purpose, fun and human interaction to make our daily lives better.
Laurie is joined by Professor Cassie Holmes (author of "Happier Hour: How to Beat Distraction, Expand Your Time and Focus on What Matters Most).
