Work & Impact

What does my work cost me, and what does it return?

Impact is not output. A great deal of busy work leaves no trace, and a single sentence said at the right moment can outlive a career.

We confuse motion with meaning because motion is easier to measure. The tree does not grade itself by hours.

The branch of work grows when we let our labour rhyme with our life, instead of competing with it.

Reflection

  • — If no one ever applauded me again, would I still do this work?
  • — What in my work is alive, and what is only a habit?
