"Please stop telling me to leave my comfort zone"
"Please stop telling me to leave my comfort zone"
Our comfort zones are there to protect us, even if productivity specialists say otherwise
I came across this article from 2018 and it really spoke to me as a late-diagnosed autistic only just learning what "comfortable" feels like.
You're viewing a single thread.
There is an appropriate time and place for one to leave their comfort zone and this differs for everyone. The advice levelled at people telling them to leave their comfort zone, is at best, tine deaf.
I agree. As an entrepreneur, I have exactly one time where I leave my comfort zone: if it benefits the people I care about, be it loved ones, friends, communities.
The big issue I see with companies these days is that they’re not trying hard enough to be fair: If you are willing to put in extra effort, I will put in extra effort myself. Companies can achieve that through money and other benefits or whatever the person favors.
We have come to accept that your boss makes a dollar while you make a penny (not even a dime).
I always tell people (even those who worked for me) that you put in as much effort as the other side does. Worked out well for us all.
