Focus on your responsibilities. Although this may seem a little strange, because we already think about our work. If you think to yourself, “This is the 35,098,509 sandwich I made today,” then the job will seem disgusting. The seconds will flow slowly. Instead, mentally imagine that you have fed 35,098,509 people today. It's gotten much better, right?

Set a goal. There is the term "break". Some time ago, a serial killer appeared among the post office workers. One of the arguments explaining his failure was the monotony of work at the post office. Why did this cause the breakdown? Every person needs motivation. If you are making your hundredth sandwich or delivering your hundredth letter, then you can easily feel that you are marking time in one place day after day. Your boss cannot motivate you. You must do this. What's your goal?

If it makes it easier, then think about the goal, only the current day. Once you've set a goal for the day, try to set a goal for the week. This will help you go towards your intended goal and achieve your goal. And the more you do of what you've set out to do, the faster time will flow for you.

Ask your boss to assign you what you enjoy doing the most. Chances are, you have a number of responsibilities and assignments that you need to complete. Naturally, among them there are those that you like. There may be errands that you are afraid to take on. Do yourself a favor and ask your boss to begin the tasks you like. Time will pass much faster if you enjoy the work you do.

This is good for your boss too. A happy employee who enjoys what he or she does brings more value to the company in the long run.

Take breaks. You may think that you will lose pace. However, the situation is exactly the opposite. Taking breaks will help your brain rest so that you can start working again. If your boss objects, show him research findings in this area. It has been proven that people perform better when they take 5-10 minute breaks every hour. Your brain needs a recharge, so why not take some rest?

If you are sitting during the day, be sure to get up and move around during your break. Go to the restroom. Take a walk or just stretch. This will help increase blood circulation.

At the beginning of each day, make a to-do list. Separate hard and easy tasks. After that, think about your body. What time of day are you most energetic and when do you just need to take a nap? Finish all your difficult tasks at the peak of your activity, and leave the simple ones for later. This way you will be wasting your time and not notice how it flies by.

Each person has their own rhythm. Some people only need 4 hours of sleep, while others have difficulty waking up in the morning. Only you know your biorhythms.

In one of her later essays, the American writer boldly says that no idleness really exists.

The American writer Ursula Le Guin, who left this world at the end of January, in the last decades of her life thought a lot about her age, about the reality around her, about everyday life - about those everyday things, beyond which she went out in the fantastic worlds of her books.

A brief history of freedom

The writer expounded her thoughts about real life in her online essays, and in 2017 a collection of these essays was published - No Time To Spare.

Ursula dedicated the preface to the collection of her journalism to the problem of free time.

It would seem, what problem could be here?

If you have free time, that's great, but if not, you just need to wait for it to appear.

The writer thought about it when she was answering one of the questionnaires sent to her from Harvard, and hesitated on the question "What do you do in your free time?"

The question mark offered 27 different answers like “I go shopping” or “I play golf”, and the 28th option was “I am engaged in creativity (I write, draw, photograph)”.

This worried Ursula: even such a harmless thing as a questionnaire puts applied classes first - as if they give meaning to existence, and not creative efforts.

And if a person is engaged in creativity all his life, it turns out that he is not busy with anything?

Let's take a look at where the famous writer took her thought as she pondered this questionnaire as a reflection of capitalist values.

Here is a translation of an excerpt from this essay.

...Free time. What do these words mean?

For a working person - a cashier, lawyer, subway driver, housewife, computer foreman, teacher, waiter - free time will be the time that he does not spend at work or in the process of everyday survival cooking, cleaning, going to school and repairing his car.

For a middle-aged person, free time is personal time.

And for people who are already 80 years old?

What other time do people have in retirement, besides "free"?

How to rest in order to work better.

I cannot call myself a “retired person” because I have never worked in any service.

I work to this day, albeit not as actively as before.

I have always considered myself a working woman with pride.

But for the Harvard questionnaire, my job is just a “creative activity,” a hobby, some kind of activity to fill my free time.

Perhaps if they knew that I do it for a living, they would have moved this item into a more prestigious category.

Although I doubt it.

But the question remains unanswered: what do we do with our time when it's all free?

And is there a difference between free time when you are 80, and free time when you are 50, 30 or 15?

Children once had a lot of free time; at least for children from wealthy families.

After school, all their time was free (unless, of course, they were seriously involved in sports), and somehow they managed to manage this time.

During my school years I had a vacation. Three whole months free. No specific activities. And time after school.

Then I read, wrote, hung out with Gene, Shirshi and Joyce, dangled aimlessly around in my own thoughts and feelings ... Yes, in truly deep thoughts and deep feelings ...

The virtues of idleness: how to learn to play the fool

Hopefully, at least some of today's children can afford to spend time in the same way.

The schoolchildren I know are now non-stop programming and carve out time for the next event in their busy schedule from children's and sports holidays.

I want to believe that they take breaks and immerse themselves in them.

Sometimes at some family meetings I notice how my teenage relative is physically present, smiling, polite and attentive - but as if somewhere not here.

I think that at that very moment he paused his life, plunged into it and now he is right there, among his thoughts and his feelings.

The opposite of free time is, I think, busy time. I still don't know what free time is, because my time is always busy with something.

My time has always been and will be busy.

It is busy with life.

At my age, more and more strength is taken away from maintaining my physical body.

This is an extremely tedious task.

But I still can’t figure out - where is the idle time in my life?

I can be free, but my time is not.

My time is completely and unconditionally occupied by sleep, dreams, deeds, letters to friends and family, reading, writing poetry and prose, thinking, forgetting, sewing, cooking, dining, cleaning the kitchen, interpreting Virgil, friendly gatherings, talking with my husband, going out to shopping, walking (if I can walk) and traveling, yoga, movie watching, qigong exercise, afternoon break watching Krazy Kat comics with my own real cat snuggled up in my lap. While I am doing all this, my time is not free.

I cannot spend it on anything else.

So what were the authors of that Harvard survey thinking?

I will turn 81 next week. I don't have a minute of free time. Published. If you have any questions on this topic, ask them to the specialists and readers of our project

Out of the blue "whose time" is me, time not occupied by socially necessary labor in production. (The term "V. century" was introduced by Soviet economists in the 1950s.) Quantitatively equal to the difference between calendar and working time. It makes up the predominant part of the calendar time. Consists of the time associated with work in production (the way to work and back, etc.); time spent on housekeeping; time to meet physiological needs (sleep, food); free time (leisure).

In the conditions of capitalism in the century. should be distinguished from the forced idleness of the unemployed or underemployed. The length of the working day is determined here primarily by the correlation of the class forces of organized workers and employers.

Under socialism, the amount of working time is set by the state in accordance with the achieved economic level and especially with the level of labor productivity. With the development of the productive forces, it becomes possible to shorten the working day and thereby increase the fund for production. (daily and, accordingly, weekly, monthly, annual). In the USSR, industrial workers have a long-term period. per week in 1969 increased by 18 over 1913 hreaching 125.4 h (out of 168 calendar hours). V.V.'s annual fund of the working people of the USSR is also growing due to the increase in the duration of paid leave. Since January 1, 1968, its minimum value has been set at 15 working days (instead of the 12 previously existing). The average vacation time in 1968 was 20.9 days.

The problem of improving the use of V. in. in socialist countries it is of state importance. The socialist state is interested in increasing the time that a person spends on education, intellectual and physical development, social activities, and comradely communication. During the years of Soviet power, the use of V. in. has improved significantly. The development of all types of public services and the transition to a five-day working week with two days off led to a decrease (relative and absolute) in the time spent on housekeeping and made it possible to increase free time and improve its structure (influenced by both socio-economic and demographic factors). Nevertheless, due to insufficient development of the service sector, workers still spend a lot of time on housekeeping, moving to and from work; the problem of further improving their use of V. in. retains its relevance. V.'s study in. is carried out by developing time budgets (see. Time budget population) of the entire population and its individual groups and analysis of statistical indicators revealing the life and living conditions of workers.
