What I have learnt since I quit my job





On Wednesday 22nd January 2020 I left my job of 2 and a half years. I am currently moving house and going to Bali in 5 weeks. I know what you are thinking... Why would you leave now?

I admit this was awful timing I wasn't planning on leaving this soon but sometimes you have to say enough is enough. I have lost people close to me over the last year and it makes you realise how much you should cherish your life and do what makes you happy. My job was not doing this. I would get that sunday dread that most of us get but it would get earlier and earlier in the day until I was actually dreading work on Monday while I was still on Saturday. This lead me to stop doing things because I was exhausted and down and then before I knew it Monday was here.

I am on Garden leave at the moment and interviewing and talking to recruiters all day every day. I still have another 3 weeks to find a role and sure I will be fine.

Since I have been off this last week it has been so nice to be active! I was sitting at a desk at least 9 hours a day only moving for more coffee or a quick toilet break. This last week I have been outdoors, I have done at least 10,000 steps a day, I have spent time with my partner, my Family and my gorgeous Labradoodle and it has made me realise there is so much more to life then that crappy job.

I mean.. I am positive now but I am yet to find a role. But I hope this can maybe give you a bit of a push you need to just do it. I think this will be one of my best decisions and 2020 already is looking like the best year yet
