Doing our best today...
Over the years, I have done work of which I am incredibly proud, but there have also been times where I have ‘dialled it in’, where I have done the minimum acceptable amount, or where I focused on what my bosses liked instead of what was best (I built a ‘successful’ corporate career on that last one).
But now that I am in charge of my own work I just try to do my best each day; it’s not easy - with no-one watching I can still find myself wasting time or pushing things until tomorrow - but when the goal is just to do my best today, it’s pretty easy to know whether I have succeeded (or not).
The vision is important, but so is how we spend today…
