OK, I admit it. Shock! Horror! Paperwork is not my favorite activity.
And if it were, I’m not sure what that would say about my personality… But leaving that aside, we’d better face it, success partly depends on continually doing things that don’t seem to offer immediate rewards or satisfactions.
Some people find just about everything boring and unappealing. It’s a huge disadvantage in life to only ever be prepared to do stuff that we feel like doing. Imagine if people only exercised or went to work when they felt like it! Sometimes whether we feel like doing something or not is irrelevant – and anyway it is possible to learn to get subtler satisfactions from things we had no idea we could enjoy.
‘Boring’ is in the eye of the beholder
Of course, paperwork can seem dull and it’s all too easy to procrastinate. There are a hundred and one more attractive activities than form filling, for instance, but there are practical as well as emotional rewards for completing chores that need to be done. And the interesting thing is that boring and tedious is ‘in the eye of the beholder’. Having done something you had to do but weren’t particularly excited about can make you feel great later on.
Paperwork - enjoy anything
There are people who are literally thrilled by old coin collections, and people who spend hours poring over antique baseball cards. What’s satisfying and interesting is really just a question of perspective.
People who dislike paperwork often tell themselves how awful and boring it is while they’re doing it – and then – surprise! surprise! – that’s the experience they have. But boring and awful are judgments, opinions, not facts. And just because an activity is quite repetitious doesn’t mean you can’t find very real ways to take pleasure in it. In fact, once you focus and become absorbed, what seems boring to others can become compelling and even fascinating.
