​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Process worker is a person who is led by the process. Process workers are very different people, some you can admire, more often you want to feel sorry for them. Main types:

A thoughtless process worker lives according to the principle “Because”, and not “For what”, automatically enters the process and immediately forgets about the goal. He does not know how to keep a goal, even if he has set it for himself — he is simply distracted. Man is an organism, man is a child.

In business, a thoughtless process worker works like a performer: he is ready to dig from here until lunchtime. Where are you digging, why are you digging? «Don’t know. They said — so I’m digging … ”For him, everything is simple: as it goes, so it goes.

Unlike a mindless process worker, an addicted process worker knows how to think, sometimes turns on his head, but his head is completely subordinate to his feelings. He can be thoughtless, he can be conscious, the main thing is that he does not like to strain himself, he is looking for passion or comfort in what is happening and follows the process where it takes him. It is important for him that the process be lively and exciting and not to strain, not to go against the desires of the body. His actions and reactions are controlled by his state, or rather the process of changing his mental and physical states.

So a teenager does not want to sit at the lessons (“Boring!”) And enthusiastically runs into the yard (“Let’s drive!”), Although in fact he needs to prepare for exams. Thirty years later, he is sitting on the couch, although in fact he needs to go move and specifically go to fitness (“Oh, I’ve become heavy!”)

To think about profitability, about the long-term consequences of his actions — no, this is not close. Talking about the need to set a goal and stick to a plan causes him to protest. Looking at his disorganized life, he understands that he needs time management, but internally rejects it. He can accomplish a labor feat and then wallow after it for a week, doing nothing (“nothing inspires”).

Tired of an unfolding life, an addicted process worker often turns into a slacker — a type of personality when the process is not motivated (“I don’t want anything!”), The process does not please (“Boring!”), And the result is even more indifferent (“Ah on the fig?»).

The life of a process worker, who, due to life circumstances, is forced to be a result worker, is rather contradictory. To carelessly ride a luxury car, you first need to earn money for it. In order to have a good time at the disco, you need to organize yourself in time and, perhaps, the girl should go to the hairdresser. And this is all business, sometimes a lot of business, and a person who is inclined only to entertainment in his soul learns to be productive and, sometimes, gradually gets used to this way of life.

The most talented and wise of the processionists rise to the level of a conscious processionist. This is a person who lives a joyful process for him, not bothering himself with external goals. He can be distracted from the route, but not distracted from the main thing for him — from the joy of life. It seems that such a person can hardly be called a process worker in its pure form, this is a kind of synthesis of a process worker and a result worker: if only because the very state of carefree joy is a vital task to which a lot of time and effort is devoted. Travel, meditation, a special way of life — all these are difficult things, subordinated to the main task of life: carefree joy.

Those who have not yet mastered this way of life, but are looking for this state, become a seeker of happiness. For seekers of happiness, it doesn’t matter what to do and why, the main thing is whether the process of life gives them joy, fullness, a sense of energy and meaning.

Motivation of process workers

The goal of the process itself is not (enough) motivating. Talking about purpose and outcome can motivate processers if it puts them in an alert state, and it can frighten and slow them down if it puts them in a different state. When motivating process workers, it makes sense to speak the same language with them. The word “result” for a process worker is not a word for him, not close, he is closer to descriptions of states that are attractive to him: for example, “State of enthusiasm”, or “To make everything lively and exciting”, or “To make stress go away and become easy”.

It is important to ensure the process is interesting or to break the process into small parts, where each next goal is very close. This is important for everyone, but especially for the processor.

How to transform yourself from a process worker into a result worker? It is not obvious that you set such a task for yourself. But if you suddenly realized that you were tired of being only a process worker and you decided to learn how to become a result worker, then you can start with the following steps.
