Work style approach? Short term or Long term

[Shu]

Generally, this is just to get a feel for your work style. Are you someone who is bursty and has a lot of short term, BUT large output in your work style? Or are you more of a maintained engine where you have more long term but slower approaches to work?

The reason I ask is because I go through cycles. I call it energy really. How much can I contribute to something I love, versus not so much enjoy. If I love it, I don't mind going with the latter and doing a slow approach. Though mostly if it's something I've done before, or something I am more or less familiar with, I am bursty and do all that is required of me and more. Though I like to move off of this as soon as someone has shadowed me.

More or less what you described for yourself. I can go slow if it's something I'm really into. But I'm much more creative/proficient in short bursts.

I think I'm more of a "maintained engine where you have more long term but slower approaches to work". Otherwise I just find myself getting burned out of things too fast maybe hmmmm.

Is it possible to have both? If I'm busy at work, I tend to raise my intensity. But funny enough, time will just fly by without me knowing and it's either lunch time or time to go home. If we're talking across a week, I tend to slow down by the end of it. My sleep habits don't help this. But I can be slow to start the week too, and have a pretty productive middle of the week. My production sucks overall though when it's not busy. I guess that's good for the company though, rather than when it's busy.

This is what is is for me as well. I can have "bursts" in my maintained engine work style, but I think it's more important to maintain something steady than to have random bursts of work here and there, but that's just me.
