- Write the following at the top of your sheet or page: What is making me unhappy in my current job?
- Now set the timer for say 10 minutes and just record anything that comes to mind.
Keep repeating the question over and over to yourself and the ideas will come. - Next number each item in order of how badly they affect you with number 1 being the worst and so on.
Set this aside and move on to the next step. - Take a new sheet or page and write the following: What do I really enjoy about my current job?
- As before set the timer and record anything that pops into your mind and then number them in order with number 1 being the best and so on.
- Finally compare the top 3 on each list and ask yourself if the top 3 negatives outweigh the top 3 positives or vice versa.
