I’ve coasted along in the same job for 20 years now; healthcare related. The pay is pretty good, but the hours are rubbish but always will be.
I’ve procrastinated for years re applying for senior roles. I could probably easily do the actual roles; I’ve got the knowledge, experience and am apparently well respected. I work hard, I’m definitely not lazy. So I’ve finally taken the plunge and started a development programme.
It’s just not me- I realise my personality is not good at this. I am disorganised (except when at actual work), I have pretty obvious traits of some aspects of ADHD and always have done, and I really struggle getting round to and boxing off doing tasks which don’t interest me.
How can I change? I want to be driven and ambitious but I don’t know how!
