I am just trying to figure out how to move forward in my career. Instead of giving away too much detail about my career path, I thought of charting a common framework that can be duplicated across all domains; so that, this blog will also serve its own purpose -sharing useful information.
What I figured out during my fairly frequent times of inactivity was that the reason for my inactivity was not the love for inactivity, rather not having other interesting stuff to work on. During those times, I was just desperate to kill time by watching movies or doing something that I would not even remember even that same night, let alone say about the next day. The other reason was the problem of monotony; Even, when I keep doing things that I am interested in, after a few days or may be a few hours, I lose the drive to do the same with the same intensity. When the intensity drops, I drop doing it any further. Then, brief period of inactivity reigns. Even though, it is very evident from my experience that not doing anything or pointlessly killing time does not give me satisfaction or happiness, I could not escape from it. On the other hand, when I am involved in my interesting area for a brief period, during that period I am a person of joy.
Can not we do things that give us joy continuously? Yes, says my experience. Perhaps for me, my interest returns after a brief period. The time between love lost and love regained is the time I feel the pain of inactivity. I spent long times wondering what should I do next or doing something that would occupy my mind like watching movies etc. Then, I stumbled upon the fact that, I might be interested in more than one distant categories, like engineering, philosophy , entertainment etc. The fact that they are distant from each other in a sense that I can not qualify, is the key much needed for maintaining my inner bliss. Finding distant domains that might appeal to us might be the key for maintaining the feeling of satisfaction when all things known for entertainment cease to entertain us.
How to know that, the domains we have collected are not enough? Again, if we feel the drop in happiness inside, it shows that the necessity for finding additional domains to be added to our list of categories, we are interested in.
Tools for finding different things that might interest us,
There are many different things to learn and we don't how exactly they interact with each other to improve our dexterity in the field in which we would love to call ourself a professional.
After all, the more quick and creative our mind is, the better it is in everything.
Thanks,
Ganesh
