Can You Adapt?
Adapt, or ….
suffer the pain of a sore shoulder!
Hmmm, that may not be the saying, but it is my reality.
When every movement of the mouse using my right hand caused excruciating pain, something had to change.
And, whilst it was tempting to call a stop to the working week and walk away from the computer, that wasn’t a viable option.
So, with a quick button reset, I’m now a left handed mouse user.
I expected my attempts to be frustratingly slow and clumsy, yet I’m pleasantly surprised how quickly I have achieved a workable skill level.
It’s another everyday lesson confirming that we humans are adept at adapting. And, with flexibility and adaptability one of the top 10 skills required in the workplace, it’s good to know we don’t need to wait for a life and death moment to do so.
I’m curious, where did you find yourself flexing and adapting this week?
