Do any of the following statements apply to you?
If so, you may be finding ways to stifle your creativity…
- There is too much work to do and I try to do it all
- I’m surrounded by paper and I can’t find
a thing
- I am unable to say no
- I feel guilty going home on time when we all have
such heavy workloads
- I work with people who don’t have the competencies
and skills I need
- I spend too much time in pointless meetings
- I work best under pressure
- I won’t delegate because no one can do the job
to my standards
- I know I can make better use of my computer, but I
don’t have time to set up the systems
- I get sidetracked by the phone and e-mails
- I’ve tried to work shorter hours before and it
didn’t work
- I have no idea what working less is like – I’m
too busy to focus on that
- I feel like I need to work longer hours than others
to get promoted
- There’s no privacy in the office
- My manager doesn’t understand what I do all day
- I have no time to take a break during the day
