Monika: Here’s how I use delivering with Wolt to achieve my professional goals

I can earn money while taking my mind off demanding tasks

In the afternoon, after some progress on my own goals is made, I suit up in Wolt’s gear, grab my bike and go to deliver some food. Conveniently, the afternoons and evenings are also when the Wolt earnings usually peak.

Some days going to work for Wolt after already having worked on many other things feels difficult, but usually, it is almost like a form of meditation… It’s because the tasks I usually do in the morning are mentally demanding and delivering for Wolt is not. While biking around the city, listening to music, and meeting smiling customers and restaurant staff, I relax and reflect on the progress I made during the day. I use this time to process things, and sometimes think of solutions to problems and come up with new ideas. In addition to this, physical activity helps me to recharge while at the same releasing stress and negative emotions.

Being a Wolt Partner allows me to make the most of my creativity

Another perk of being a Wolt Courier Partner is the ability to choose any day of the week to fully immerse myself into some type of creative task.

For example, dedicating the whole day to creating new vocal parts for my band’s songs or working on creative aspects of my freelance business. I find such a process very enjoyable, relaxing and productive because this way I easily reach a state that psychologists call “flow state” or “the zone” – a state of complete immersion, energized focus, and full enjoyment of a current moment. There’s something special about knowing that during this single day you will not have to worry about anything else but your creative task. The next day, I can simply go out and deliver food for the whole day!

As my own boss, I never have to miss an opportunity!

Finally, from my experience, another important element to achieving professional goals is making use of opportunities. Professor Richard Wiseman investigated why some people are luckier than others. It turned out that it’s not some magical spell but rather the way people think and behave that makes them lucky. One of these factors is making use of opportunities. Thus, I think to succeed in your professional ventures, it’s very important to make use of the right opportunities.

How is that related to working for Wolt? Being a Wolt Courier Partner allows for almost complete freedom to choose when to work. That means that we can take the complete freedom over opportunities that life presents to us that a person working a regular full-time job with a fixed schedule might have to miss. For example, it could be events and meetings that happen during the daytime. Not to mention the general ability to schedule our weeks in ways we want, in order to make the most of the other opportunities we have.

I hope that these insights were helpful or inspiring to you, as well as to future courier partners who are passionate about achieving their personal professional goals! 

Besides delivering with Wolt, I’m a freelancer in audio and visual media. For more information on what services I can provide, you are more than welcome to contact me on LinkedIn or Instagram!
