147. Office, Remote, or Hybrid? Pros, Cons, and the Hidden Skills You Need to Thrive in Each
Episode 146
Falling out of love with your job and dealing with unmotivated colleagues can make your workday long and have you questioning your career. In this episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast, I answer two questions submitted by listeners who are dealing with those exact issues.
Question 1: How to make work interesting again when it's getting boring.
Question 2: How to handle a work environment when your younger colleagues don't take any initiative.
As with all my Q&A episodes, the value lies in hearing answers to other people's questions that you didn't even know you had.
What You Learn:
The real pros and cons of working in the office, from home, and in a hybrid setup (including a few downsides you've probably never considered)
The executive function skills each work environment requires, and why almost nobody connects their skills to where they work
Why choosing a work environment that doesn't match your skill set can tank your productivity and make you dread your job
What context switching does to your focus, and how to avoid it
The biggest mistake hybrid workers make when planning their week, and how to get the best of both environments instead of the worst
The question almost no one asks before choosing a work environment, and how to tell if your struggles at work come down to a missing skill
