>The worst part is I am sensing within myself this frustration that everyone else appears to move so slowly. The thought of "great, one more thing I got to fix" is coming up too frequently. I see this as a point of opportunity for you because you have some part in this and just need to figure out what it is. Based on what you are saying, the key might be found somewhere between when you do what comes easy for you in terms of getting work done - and - doing what is very hard/unpleasant for you but would produce more work in others. You are exercising control with a high level of expertise and this could be exercised differently. An example I could give is the case of a tech help forum I co-moderate. If I want more help from the community and to see increased participation with ideas and suggestions, I have to let the unanswered question just sit there. If another moderator takes it upon themselves to efficiently get things solved and jumps in and answers it, then others don't see a need. I'm not sure how this translates, but it might mean that the next big challenge for you is found in choosing to NOT doing something rather than doing it. Like, being available to others during that time, rather than actually doing it, could be a strategic step. This would increase interaction, help you see the effort made by others regardless of their productivity, and man - we all benefit when someone competent is not constantly busy. I love asking questions but hate to interrupt others. Open office hours the way professors do it, or something like that. |
