When you find yourself dragging your feet to work, it's time for you to change a job. If I am in your situation, I will start looking out for new jobs and starting hopping to a new job. LOL.

Either you need time to adjust to your work again, or you need time to look for a new job. LOL. Good luck in searching for whatever it is. =)

kick that job that makes U feel unhappy and upgrade yourself with another, more interesting, more ambitional, more rewarding; that's what i did, i'm in search for a good job via net, that's oh so difficult to find, nonetheless i'm still trying, i quit a job that made me feel depressed (they don't treat people right, not only me, workers in general, they use us up to the utmost) and i'm very proud of myself:)

i hope the timing won't be too extensive, i mean that it won't last too long or that U'll get used to an environment that doesn't make U feel right; i mean be careful as i observed some people ruin their lives with their jobs, some of them slavery called freedom after they got used to that slavery and they forgot the right name for it! and got used to treating badly, that's why i warn U; yes, but let's think positive:)

If I lost interest in work I tend to file a leave from work and go for a vacation on a place where I know that I can relax and unwind. When I come from back with the same feeling then the next move is to file for a resignation.

It's a normal feeling for someone to lose interest on something, usually in what we do. but when it comes to work, it's bit hard, cause we are obliged to do it no matter what the situation is unless we are sick. Maybe, we need to divert our attention on something, breathe and take a short break for us to go back to what we are doing.

It happens to a lot of people and actually, I am one of those. I had this job for more than seven years and suddenly, I felt like I am sick and tired of doing it everyday. It was a hassle, and I am not enjoying anymore. I tried my best to keep in phase and relive the moments that I am happy at work. But then, I came to the point of giving up. Even though I am getting a lot, I still don't feel pleased and satisfied in what I do. I ended up quitting my job. I have talked to a friend and told me that if am not happy anymore and I tried my best for everything but I still feel unhappy, I should quit. He told me about a saying, "Find a job that you love and you will never have to work for the rest of your life." I think so, too.

Hi there successlog! There are times when I lose interest in my work, not because of the work itself and the activities associated with it. It's more about the environment at work. When that happens, I always think of all the good things about my work and the interest is back. It may not always work well for me but most of the time, it does. You have to know what causes you to lose the interest in your job or work. Only then will you know what you should do to get back into what you are doing. Good luck!

I think this happens to alot of people. Our jobs are pretty much repetitive.. We do the same thing time and again sometimes for years. Its natural to lose interest in it. I just trudge through. Sometimes something new comes up. If you work outside the home, sometimes anew person comes in. That can add new life to the picture.

When you gradually loose interest on your work or job then my advice for you is to make it a habit to think of ways how will you overcome it and make it enjoyable. One way is to unwind or relax by going shopping, watching movies with friends , dinner nightout or gimicks with friends just to compensate your life not to be a boring one. By this youll be able to enjoy life and prevent your life to become boring. It is something you will look forward to after work.
