Even exciting jobs have boring days. It’s inevitable when you work in the same office, with the same people, day after day. So how can you tell whether you’re just in a rut – or whether it’s time to leave your job? First, don’t wait for the rut to pass. Making even small changes to your daily work can prove transformative. Start keeping a list of all the things you accomplish each day, noting which kinds of work energize you and which leave you feeling drained. Next, think about how you might redesign your role around the tasks that interest you most. Talk to your boss about taking on new challenges that fit your talents and goals, or volunteer on a project outside your department. But if you still think your job is a grind after you've tried to take action, it may be time to move on.
