Seth Godin recently wrote about The Journal of Universal Rejection.
It’s a “journal” that allows you to submit any form of content (“…any and all types of manuscript: poetry, prose, visual art, and research articles”) which it then, without question (and, often, without any review) reject.
Where’s your head when you’re doing work?
Are you focused on the work itself - on exploring the nuances, the difficulties, navigating the actions needed to ensure it’s done the right way?
Or are you focused on just getting through it - simply finishing and moving on to the next item on your (never ending) To-Do list?
The fact of the matter is that my most productive periods have come when I’ve been immersed in my work and not the idea of it.
What does that mean?
If you look at your role and what you do on a day to day basis, the fact is that at least 70% of your time should be focused on doing your core work.
To say it more clearly, there’s typically one thing that is the raison d’etre of our work, and the vast majority of our time should be focused on that specific thing.
