5 Ways to Engage Yourself in the Job When You Lose Interest
Following the same routine every day can make an individual's life dull and boring. When a person has been working with a firm for many years and does almost the same kind of tasks with no new challenges, he/she might start losing interest in the job. It might happen that when waking up in the morning, you realize that you are done with the job and want to give up. You may have some spectacular accomplishments under your belt, an exceptional team that delivers efficient projects on time, and a handsome package. But you are not able to get over the feeling of quitting. When the brain pulls a plug on something you love to do, staying completely engaged in it can become difficult. This happens because you lose your concentration as your mind wanders off to other things and might end up messing the work. While experiencing a slump in interest is completely normal, it is time to look for some motivation. Motivated and happy employees often tend to be more productive at work and also show better performance. Here are ways that will help you rediscover your lost passion and get you back on track.

One Day
One day as a nurse will forever change a person. We cry, we laugh, we make very inappropriate jokes in order to cope. From cleaning up fecal matter to reviving someone back to life, we never know what assignment we'll be managing. The angles that must be considered when going into nursing are infinite; there will always be something new to learn.

Notes from a Site Engineer 4
Some site roles are, as mine was, primarily observational in nature. This means that you will spend very little time doing actual physical work of any kind, and an awful lot of time standing around watching other people work. Yes, I was that kind of site engineer. I supervised other people doing the 'hard graft.' I know that, in general, that does not make me the most popular person on site. I came to terms with that a long time ago. I made up for this lack of popularity with my sparkling wit and personality (definitely a joke, I made up for it mostly by being the clumsy goofball).

Meet the Startup Using AI to Hang Up On Bad Customer Service
For many consumers, the only thing worse than a confusing product is having to call customer service to figure it out. We all know the drill: long waits on hold, constant requests for personal information, inconsistent and uncoordinated responses – all to get the answer to a question that hundreds of other customers ask every day.

Writers Should Work for Free
Writing for free is a contentious subject. Many writers vehemently object to any free writing requests, and with good reason. Most writers (and all creatives, really) face an onslaught of requests for free work in exchange for recognition, or for a good cause. These requests undervalue the work that goes into writing, and the sentiment can make it hard for writers to maintain steady work, or earn a living wage.
