Some factors can’t be controlled by the single individuals (business strategy, business culture, other’s inputs,..). However, each individual has the power to improve his/her own working method in order to fulfil his/her needs along with the job requirements. Feeling and being in charge of its own time and achievements is essential to feel also in control of its own life.

Well-being is the keyword here. Each person gives its own meaning to it, but what is important is not to forget about what allows one to feel good. Whether it’s about exercising, traveling, time socialising or time alone, ... taking that time is not a futile vice, but rather a priority for out health, as well as a requirement to achieve our professional goals. As a battery that needs to be regularly charged to be functional, people also need those recharging moments. On the contrary, once the battery is drained, simply recharging it will not be enough anymore.

Generally these subjects relate to both professional and personal aspects, especially for those passionate and in creative fields. Imagine having to start working on a project without knowing anything about it (what’s for, where it is, why it’s needed,... nothing). How would you feel? Lost at the very least, I’d say. Same applies to our lives and, in order to have purpose and motivation again, everything starts by going back to basics (priorities, values, dreams,...). Easier said than done, but also life changing.
