64: 57 surprising ways to leave work early today without taking PTO


Listen Later

This week's podcast gives you 57 surprising ways to get home today. It’s the opposite of what you think and that’s just why it works!

 

The chronic habit of overworking keeps us staying late at work. It causes chronic suffering that usually sounds like this: I should be further ahead, my schedule is always the worst, I’ll never be valued by the boss. 

 

In this week’s podcast you’ll learn how to interrupt this overworking habit loop to get home sooner today. This works even if you have a tyrant of a boss, you're understaffed, or you’re fresh out of training. 

 

The key to interrupting the overworking habit loop is this: shift from self-focused to other-focused. There is good science that shows self-focus causes intense suffering and being other-focused causes immediate relief. Here are a few examples; pick just one and get ready to be home sooner tonight.

 

Self-focused: I’m behind and I’ll never catch up.

Other-focused: I’m going to take one extra moment to thank the janitor and help brighten up her day.

 

Self-focused: My boss never supports me.

Other-focused: I’m going to be the example of the boss I want to be by giving my resident a few minutes of supporting encouragement by starting off with what she did well yesterday.

 

This approach takes LESS TIME (not more time). Being other focused CREATES more energy because your mind stops looping on the suffering. You’ll feel better. You’ll be energized. You’ll think faster and get home sooner without rehashing work all day and night.
