Is your career central to your identity? Reclaim your life by finding a 'good enough job' instead of the dream job.
Simone Stolzoff worked in advertising, tech, journalism and design during his 20s, trying to find a job that would do way more than pay the bills. Five years ago, Stolzoff found himself at a crossroads where he could continue to work as a journalist or accept an offer to work as a designer. “I really didn’t feel like I was choosing between two jobs,” Stolzoff said. “I was choosing between two versions of me.” Excited about the prospect of something new, Stolzoff picked the designer position.
“We need to be able to decouple our basic human needs from our employment status,” Stolzoff said, and employers should honor employees’ lives outside of the office. But even without institutional change, there are some steps individuals can take to alter their relationship with work. Stolzoff, now 32, left his designer job in 2022 to finish writing his book and explore other sides of himself that had been crowded out by his day job.
