To retain interest in routine work, one should have enthusiasm and involvement. Whatever work we do, we should everyday try and do it better, better than others, little more than others. It is this competitive spirit, the feeling that you are doing the best, keeps you doing the work without losing passion. Sometimes I make the envelopes for my personal use. I take the best paper and make good envelopes.While doing, I take interest in its aethetics. So it comes out so good, I do not want to use the readymade. My wife does lacework. She has prepared such a lovely work, it looks professional. I have a collection of stamps, which I arranged in thematic way, giving a scientific touch, todaythese collections are displayed at international show and won awards. Ultimately it is the interest in life that makes you to take interest in work and nothing else needed to keept it going.

thank you for your advance, i will take your opinion as one of my work motto:JUST DO BETTER! sometimes i talk with my friends about my puzzle, they tell me that every work or things have two face, once you tired of one then turn another, i know they are right but for a periord of time, this attitude make me feel deceptive myself.

Thanks giving me such a big respect by accepting my suggestion and your motto. Another thing, please do not overwork. Afterall body needs rest, so set aside certain hours for certain work and you try to work within the frame work. As soon as work is over, you have to forget about th work and concentrate on what is next - be it kitchen work, home work, entertainment, recreation, sports etc. Go on lingering on office routine all the time is sickening.

Hello loneleaf. Yes, we have to face and do the repeated work every day, but we can still find some pleasure of doing the same job if we pay much attention to how we can do the same job better by trying to improve its quality. There is still too much for us to do if we want to do the same job as well as we can. Thanks for sharing the discussion, dear friend.
