At a Staff meeting today, one of my team members asked how can one stay motivated during troubled times at Intel. It was a very relevant question. Here are 5 things you can do:
1. Approach work with discipline & not with motivation. Motivation can ebb and flow with what happens around you. But discipline is constant and not a choice. Time bound the task.
2. Add new, relevant arrows (skills) to your quiver. (If you are circuit designer, learn RTL verification or learn Post Silicon Debug)
3. Fill the dopamine bucket (Go for run, lift weights, do not eat food that is not naturally occurring, early to bed and rise, spend time with family, soak in the morning sunlight)
4. Never have more than 10% of your savings in one company's stock (learnt this the hard way)
5. Resolve to let go that which you cannot control.
If you have been in a company that was in a similar situation as Intel is today, I would love to get your feedback on how you navigated that situation
Cheers!
