I often am caught in a dilemma of deciding when is enough and when should I put all my best.
I suppose after years in the industry dealing with situations where people cannot make up their mind and stuff, it becomes hard to give my best to everything. That does not shoddy work. It just means work to the letter.
It seems when it comes to doing my own work, that seems to happen. Part of me just want to go.. "whatever"... but the other part refuses to just give in. It seems to enjoy pain.
But you do it because you are paid to. You are pissed off because your sense of self worth lies in your ability deliver it effectively. But the goal posts keep moving hence frustrations mount.
That is natural.
What I am saying is recognise the reasoning behind it
And do not take it personally
You are helping them realise a vision, and its part of the job description.
If they cannot make up their mind, they cannot make up their mind...
It is also understanding that end result isn't just the goal. You are working with a group of people. And everyone are trying to do their jobs.
Adjust your mindset that allows you to take that role so that they trust you to do the job. The real prize is that you build a reputation of a dependable and pleasant person to work with.
Its an opportunity to build your reputation and reputation goes a long way in any industry.
Maybe its a different perspective, but in 2 years, you will look back at this and laugh at the stupidity.
Try to do the job with a perspective that you are helping someone make their jobs easier and helping them make a decision.
When u help someone, you feel good as well, whether they are aware of it or not. ask yourself how can u help make their decisons easier.
More importantly, do it for your mental well being. you do not want to go home kicking the cat..
And honestly, most of the time,
after all options are explored, its not only how good you can draw or paint.. but just to
assure that you are helping them make a decision. That you are on their side. It triggers a postive response from them. rather then a defensive one.
Once you understand this concept, it is easier not to be pissed off.
