Pay attention to which part of your job makes time disappear. That’s information about you.

Attention is a better guide than enthusiasm. The task where you look up and forty minutes have gone is telling you how your mind likes to work, in jobs you have not heard of yet too. That does not mean doing that one thing forever. It means the shape is worth tracking: alone or with people, hands or words, slow or fast.

On your next shift, notice which stretch went quickest and which dragged, then write a line about each. After a month you will have a pattern worth more than any careers quiz. Use it when you choose what to study or where to apply.
