Even if you really enjoy your job, it's still possible to battle boredom as you work your way toward the boardroom. You may not be able to make big changes -- or change your job -- but you can make small adjustments to your routine that can make every day seem, well, a little less routine. 

    即便你真地很喜歡自己的工作，還是可能要在晉升的路上和無聊作斗爭。你也許無法做出很大改變--或者換工作--但你可以對日常事務進行小的調整，從而讓每天看起來不那么程式化。

    1. Switch Your Seat 換位子

    Change your outlook at the office by changing your office -- literally. Ask your supervisor to help you find a new desk, office, or cube to call home. Even switching desks with a neighboring coworker can offer a fresh perspective.

    If it's not possible to change your location, see if you can change how your desk is oriented. A new perspective can be just as refreshing as a new location.

    2. Change Your Commute 改變上班路線

    Start and end your day in a different way by making changes to your commute. Consider a new mode of transportation, if it's possible. Take a subway. Ride a bike on sunny days. Carpool with a coworker. Use a new route to get to your job. You needn't change your commute permanently -- just long enough to help you escape the doldrums.

    3. Find a New Way to Work 新的工作方式

    Shake things up at the office by changing how things get done. 以改變做事方式來對辦公室的生活洗牌。

    Sick of attending that long-standing Monday morning meeting? Try to rally your boss to change it to the afternoon.

    If you find yourself feeling most bored in the afternoons, try to arrange to do your favorite tasks then and tackle less desirable projects in the mornings.

    If you usually communicate with coworkers via email and instant messaging, start dealing with people face to face. Increased interaction with coworkers may help improve your mood. 如果你總是通過電子郵件和即時通訊軟件與同事交流，那么開始和人們面對面交流。和同事交往度提高可以幫助你改善心情。

    4. Get and Set a Goal 定目標

    If you're not working toward something, it's no wonder that work has become boring. Identify a goal and set an "achieve by" date for it.

    Your goal needn't be lofty as long as you have sufficient enthusiasm for it. Perhaps you want to tackle a new project. Maybe you'd like to pursue a promotion. Or you may even set a goal of finding a new job altogether. Whatever it is, actively moving toward an objective will make work much more interesting.
