Many may find themselves reaching a point while working at permanent staffing agencies where daily tasks become dreadful and next to impossible. Although this is somewhat natural over time, no matter what the job may be, there are some things one can do to alleviate this problem. Luckily, it doesn’t mean that you have to abandon your current job in search of another professional role in the workforce. Changing the ways you approach tasks can breathe new life into the excitement of things and make even the biggest undertakings seem like a piece of cake.

Many permanent staffing agencies have started to educate their workers on such new approaches to daily tasks, and the results for both the agencies and their clients are already apparent. In short, the secret to this success is compartmentalization. If you are not familiar with the term, you still implement it already on some level. Recognizing it as a winning strategy can change everything in terms of increasing motivation, focus and even energy.

Forbes recently shared an article on this mental technique and explains it as a sort of coping mechanism for strategically approaching situations in life. This doesn’t have to only apply to your assignments either, as it can be applied to essentially anything you put your mental focus into throughout the day, week, year or lifetime even. By breaking things down to a manageable amount of doable work, you can minimize the overall dread for the collective task at hand. Surprisingly, many may find themselves having been blinded by the perceived monotony, instead of approaching things from the smartest way possible. With a bit of thinking and planning, any task can be manageable.

The first step in compartmentalizing your work is to isolate it from your other thoughts and stresses. Think of it as a math equation. Admittedly, many people dread the word math as much as their tasks at hand, but even the worst mathematician can apply this technique with accuracy. It’s a good idea to conceptualize the finished result and begin to work backwards from there. What exactly is being required of you? How much time do you have to devote to the project? Thinking about these factors will allow for managing the parts more easily.

Secondly, break down the overall project into realistic sections. Some prefer to prioritize these sections and choose either the hardest or easiest to tackle first, although it is suggested that whatever section requires your most creative input should be focused upon first. This is an excellent idea since it can fuel your motivation to actually start on the project, instead of the more monotonous aspects. Not to mention, you may find yourself having run out of steam after completing the more dreadful chunks, which will most definitely affect your creativity after.

Finally, prioritize everything and attack the problem. If your work project is a team effort, or if another coworker can benefit from certain areas of the project being completed first, take that into account. Having sections of the overall workload approved and made useful by others adds to your sense of actually getting closer to the finish line. If something does not have an absolute role priority-wise, remove it from the equation where fit. Many find themselves having dedicated time to things that eventually had little relevance or importance, and regretfully acknowledge their lack of valuable energy-based resources.
