For those of you who follow our blogs regularly, you know how much we like classifying things. We love putting things into relevant categories on any and all topics regarding work - how we work, the kind of work, the people who do the work, pretty much everything...
Today another one of these classifications came into the conversation. Now there is the kind of work that you do for the organisation - the kind that ensures your place in the office, the kind that makes you valuable to the organisation. And there is the kind of work that you do for yourself - the kind of work that you enjoy, the kind of work that keeps you coming back to the organisation. Sai explained it very simply too. If you keep working for the organisation, chances are that you'll burn out rather quickly and at some point maybe even start disliking the kind of work that you do. On the other hand if you mix this up with things you would do for yourself, it gives you a reason to keep coming back to work.
With the past few weeks being pretty packed both on site and in office, we have all been super busy with work. And mostly its been work for the organisation. Yesterday Sai reminded us to start working on things we enjoy as well. He insisted Harshitha starts working on mood boards, Ananya made sure Reenu was put on a pure design assignment, and Akshay and I will be starting making models in office soon. It feels great to have something to look forward to...
