How I Transformed My Workday From Draining, Unfulfilling, and Chaotic... To Inspired, Value-Driven, Highly Productive, and Truly Satisfying

 I spent years dreading going to work.  I was inspired by the kind of work I did (pediatric palliative care and oncology) but the actual doing of it was just draining. 

I would complain non-stop about all the things that were wrong with my job. Every day I had a rant about “well I would really love this job, if only…” 

One day I decided to stop complaining and actually write down all the things that came after “If only.” What would make this the perfect job? What would make me happy? 

This exercise will help you think about your ideal day at work and reflect on the values and needs underlying this “perfect day.”
