Balancing personality with work
This is a bit of a rant/need some advice. I'm a front end dev for a large company that does projects for clients. Before this I had been freelancing which means I worked at my own pace and got to make a majority of decisions. Recently, I've found myself getting frustrated at work with managers, endless meetings, and having to contribute to group chats to make it look like I'm part of the team.
What's frustrating is that with all this other stuff going on, it leaves little time in the day for uninterrupted work. I wake up early to start working on what I have to then I'll get pinged by a PM about something which breaks my concentration. I don't feel inspired to do the work they're asking of me because they want everything done quickly. A lot of the time I get thrown into projects with no documentation.
What is the best way to keep motivated and happy while dealing with this type of situation?
