Do you have dead people’s goals?

⏺ “I want to stop feeling anxious, angry, sad, guilty.”
⏺ “I want to stop making mistakes.”
⏺ “I want to stop being stressed.”
⏺ “I want to stop procrastinating.”

These are dead people’s goals.
While these goals are understandable, they can be counterproductive because they emphasize absence over action. Essentially, a dead person can achieve these goals by simply not existing.

Job Crafting involves making proactive changes to our job roles to better align them with our skills, interests, and preferences. By actively modifying our tasks, interactions, and perceptions, we can enhance job satisfaction, engagement, and performance.
