Another idea around having meaningful work is work that is progressing, that shows progress, and where you can see yourself progressing. Most of us get bored when we keep on doing the same old thing day after day – no visible progress. A couple of ideas on progress and how to view it: stop comparing today to yesterday, or even this week to last week. The incremental progress “may” be too small to easily see. Instead, look at this year vs. last year – can you see the progress (in yourself, in how you work, in the quality of your work, in the span of your responsibility, etc)? Are you more involved, are you adding more value? Are you making progress?
