The largest chunk of your waking hours is spent at work. That’s more time than what you spend with yourself or your loved ones, at least during weekdays. You should NOT be spending all that time … almost 100,000 hours in total in your lifetime … struggling, burning out, or languishing… it’s not fair, it’s not sustainable.
Hi, I am Sneha Mandala and I recently gave a TEDx talk on how to make your work feel more effortless.
You know… Society will make you feel like you don’t deserve success unless you worked hard and struggled to the point of exhaustion. If you believe this theory, then your 9-5 job or even your overall career is just going to be one endless struggle cycle. A cycle that feels like you’ll never escape until you retire… or die.
Studies show that putting in long hard hours not only leads to decreased productivity – but also leads to your mental and physical decline.
Fatigue creeps in.
You lose your zeal.
You burn out.
Okay… so if hard work and struggle aren’t the answer to a sustainable career, then what is?
It is EFFORTLESS WORK.
Let me explain.
See – In the first few years of my career, I too felt stuck, worrying that I might never get out of my struggle cycle. I kept working hard but was only seeing average results. I was burning out.
I got frustrated because of the ‘hustle and grind’ mindset I was seeing everywhere and I wanted to get out of it.
After months of research and reflection, I figured out that there is a definite way to achieve peak performance, effortlessly. And once I applied that framework to my day job, my career took off. My burnout went away.
And today, I’m the happiest and most fulfilled I’ve ever been at work.
Now I am a senior manager in learning and development and also a professional credentialed coach.
Outside of my day job, I am continuing to research and speak on how you can make your work feel more effortless and as a by-product, achieve YOUR peak performance.
I recently gave a TEDx talk at Reno on this exact same topic. In my talk, I shared 2 factors that help you get into an ‘effortless state’ at work. The talk is filled with research and super actionable tips. So make sure you dont miss out on watching it!
It is releasing soon, in just a few days. So here’s the plan.
I want you to ditch mindless hard work and embrace effortless work instead.
