The books on the subject (advertising)

Let us take as an example the dentist who has set up his own business to offer dentistry according to his taste and to be his own master. However he turns it around, he will make appointments with his patients. At this time, he and his entire practice have to function. Punktum. Otherwise he will have had patients for the longest time. Imagine that the dentist comes and goes whenever it suits him, because the fixed patient appointments limit his freedom.

It is therefore completely irrelevant in which form the dentist takes his Performance offers. Whether as an employee or as a freelancer. He will have to abide by the patient appointment legality if he is to Income must generate. However, he is very free during the treatment appointment in his working methods, his service, his dealings with patients and employees, his practice and process design.

Dependencies can have a liberating effect

So it doesn't do anything for the dentist Sinn to feel that the agreed treatment appointments are depriving him of his freedom. Because no matter how he will offer dentistry, he will make appointments in some way. But our dentist can feel very free, especially because of the treatment appointments, which are perceived as restrictive.

That's how our inner clock is ticking

Because in each of us a very special clock is ticking. It is neither made of steel nor plastic and you cannot program it with just a few clicks. Controlled by the sun, this watch has been ticking for six million years.

And this watch doesn't care whether it's a shift change or an important one Meeting pending. It ticks and gives us after a solid Pattern High and low phases for body, mind and emotions. If we work against them, we wear out ours Energy. If we use them skilfully, we fully exploit our potential. In order to understand how we optimally use the different performance phases, we look at them on two levels.

1. Level: the function

Of course we show up willing to work and on time for the shift or the meeting. We spool ours Tasks away. Sometimes more and sometimes less motivated. Sometimes more and sometimes less involved. Afterwards we also feel sometimes more and sometimes less exhausted. This has become so much second nature to us since we were at school, we no longer question whether it has to be like this.

Before we even began to think properly, we were drilled into how it worked by the clock. This functioning is important for the optimization of processes. It degrades us to service providers according to the norm. And those who are constantly ticking for strange clocks are constantly over- or under-challenged, which tires them and makes them less rebellious. This makes us easier to control and gratefully fulfills the norm in order to get through our energy resources, which are already under attack Criticism not to strain further.

There is another way.

2. Level: the quality

Showing up for shifts or meetings on time and willing to work, that's up to us. It also remains for us to unwind one or the other task in order to conserve our strength. But we usually have a lot more in the Hand to shape our task content than we often believe.

For the most part, we can certainly vary when we tackle tasks and when we do our whole creativity brauchen, to plan and to organize, when we have challenging conversations or work through in a concentrated manner.
