Hustle Culture

 


  Have you heard about Hustle culture?. Hustle culture is known as "workaholism" which is all about constantly working. In our society, working hard is not enough, and chronic workaholism can be affected in the long run. If one of you aims for success and glory, whatever that may look like to you, know that working hard is part of it and not all of it. 

  Hustle culture is the collective urge to work excessively and to be better than everyone else and work longer and harder. It creates an environment of ruthless competition, encouraging people to clamber over each other to get to the top. Although, hustle culture sounds dangerously close to just being a workaholic. There are definitely quite differences. 

  The motivation behind hustling is usually better intended and individual to each person. Depending on the type of motivation, hustle culture can be beneficial to the worst.

  Working hard has only ever been beneficial in anyone's career. Especially when someone is straight out of college and working a full-time job, being able to prove their ability to work has never been more crucial. The average hustler believes that work is the centre of their identity. Their job makes them who they are and they are always able to encourage themselves to work more than that average person. Overall, this culture is characterised by an obsessive work ethic.

  That was beneficial of hustle culture. On the other hand, hustling is related to unbalance lifestyle. Lack of sleep, eat and rest could harm them to any potential health risk, including death. Moreover, one of the biggest contributors to the added stress that we're experiencing today is the constant comparison of ourselves to others. All over social media such as Instagram or Twitter, people continuously post their successes. That could cause comparing to ourselves and reducing our self-esteem. 

  Being able to set your own goal or dream and know what you're capable of is a good way to determine what you can accomplish. Being a part of hustle culture can be rewarding, but it's important to look out how it can cost. Pay attention to your own stamina, energy level and mental health. It's absolutely important to find your balance. Also, stop comparing yourselves to others. It gives you nothing but suffering. 

  Hopefully, this article is informative, and be more aware of hustle culture. Thank you and have a nice day 😀.

Leader Vs Boss

    Some people might use the terms "boss" and "leader" interchangeably, but that's not entirely accurate. The truth is, some bosses are simply a boss. They have attained a position in the management section of the corporate pyramid. Those positions alone don't make them leaders. They are just pushing their employers while "sitting down". However, bosses can become leaders, and doing so should become a priority for those who want to effectively lead in the workplace. So, what is the difference between a leader and a boss?   A boss refers to an individual who is in charge of the employee or an organisation. He exercises control over employees, assigns tasks, and duties to them, and is entitled to take decisions on some matters. There is no formal title like "boss" in the organisational chart, but the term indicates a person who is the owner or appointed as head of the organisation, department, or division.   On the other hand, the term lea

About Phubbing

    In the Digital Era, smartphones have become the number one priority in society. When it comes to our smartphones, nothing else in our lives gets as much attention. A single notification can branch to half days only checking the status or short videos on social media. If we lose it, the stress starts to build up rapidly. Getting by without a smartphone really is not possible anymore, and from that other areas of our lives are bound to be affected.   Phubbing describes the act of "phone-snubbing". It is a term that most people might not be familiar with, but the action is certainly one we all recognise. If we are going outside let's say, how often have we been physically in the presence of someone, but they're emotionally "not there" because they are absorbed in their smartphone? Quite a lot, isn't it?   Smartphones and text messaging help partners display love and affection to each other when they are physically apart. However, what happens when smart

Early Birds and Night Owls

  In this world, there are two kinds of people in this world, people who love to hear birds chirping in the morning, and people who wish the birds had a mute button somewhere. Someone likes the sun going up, someone likes the sun drowning to keep the night up. In other words, early birds and night owls. So, which one are you?    Early birds or morning people. They are awake in the morning and love to welcome the new day. Early birds tend to go to bed early, wake up early, and feel their best as the day begins. As a general rule, early birds find a society more accommodating than night owls do. Early birds generally have an easier time adjusting to standard daytime schedules.    On the other hand, night owls or night people tend to stay up late, enjoy sleeping in, have more energy at night, and feel tired after waking up early. Night owls do have a few downsides. They might have a harder time holding a traditional job. Young night owls might have trouble making a fixed school or univers
