Loyalty I love the people but not the work Hate going to work Is the love of your co-workers enough to be satisfied? * If not, determine what you really want to do and get working on that to happen.

Time Write everything down to track; you don’t have to remember it; use your brain for creativity Hear, “I don’t have enough time”

Begin feeling like you are being taken advantage of

Drop the ball:

Think about time differently

Prioritize

Accountability We live by our words and actions which is also called reliability and builds a strong reputation Lack of accountability is everywhere ” regardless of role

Easy to blame someone/something else so don’t have to change anything

If you work in an environment lacking in accountability and it frustrates you, consider what you need and want in your life and how to step towards that environment

Starts with modifying your “automatic thoughts”
