Zeus condemned Sisyphus to repeat this tedious task for eternity, and since he was under a spell, he could not come out of it.
He failed to realize that gravity will always force the rock downhill, and he was stuck in a loop of getting that rock atop the hill, despite failing every single time. Sisyphus’s proud and sadistic nature didn’t allow him to change his approach or think out of the box. Relentless, he would roll it back to the top, only to see it tumbling down again. He was doomed to push a large rock up a steep hill.Įvery time Sisyphus neared the top, the rock would roll back to the bottom of the hill. The poor guy, who treated some of the gods disrespectfully, was punished by Zeus, the king of Greek gods.
If you haven’t heard about Sisyphus, he was a cruel Greek King who got punished for his crafty and nefarious behavior. In this post, we take a look at what Sisyphean task is, how it applies to the modern work environment, and how we can overcome it. At one point or another, we have all been entangled in a Sisyphean loop, doing something with nothing to show for it. The myth of Sisyphus depicts the human nature of working tirelessly day in day out, yet not making any progress at work and in life. Do you find yourself performing the same tasks repeatedly and reaching a plateau in your productivity and self-improvement? If yes, you share the same predicament as Sisyphus, the deceitful and ruthless King of Corinth.
