If you sit down to complete a task and think “Not this again,” you’re not alone. Most U.S. workers don’t feel fully satisfied with their jobs. Maybe your passions and priorities have changed, or you feel stuck doing the same things over and over. Whatever the reason, you can rediscover a sense of purpose at work through job crafting, or tweaking parts of your job to provide more satisfaction. For example, if you love interacting with people and feel lonely, you may be able to find ways to partner with others on projects. Or you might look for opportunities to incorporate a new skill into your current role. Even small adjustments can make your responsibilities feel more meaningful, motivating you to bring your highest level of initiative and commitment to work.
