After sharing Godin's challenge yesterday to start trail-building, I was reminded of this video by Ira Glass. It's 2 minutes long, watch it. (Again, if your work isn't creative it still applies).
Work
Begin where you are. /
This short challenge by Seth Godin is encouraging and challenging for those of us aspiring to do more. His list is chiefly for digital/marketing work, but mad lib in your own rubric for your respective field and get to work.
I can attest to the fact that after two weeks of trail-building the mental energy alone is a breath of fresh air.
Are you willing to build a trail?
Let me know how it goes for you!
Work vs. Life /
In her article, Life Balance, Maureen Taylor purports that "Work is not separate from life."
I believe a larger context would be helpful but I also agree with her theory insofar as work, and workers today are quite different from previous generations' 9-5 routine. Now we do see more a blend between business and pleasure, occupation and passion.
What do you think?
