Our default setting is to check boxes. It’s easier. It feels less risky. And it’s easy to add more boxes that we can check yet today.
It’s curious to keep a record of checked boxes against launched projects.
Projects are more time consuming. They have delayed gratification. Projects feel risky. And adding another project to your list feels like a big commitment (because it is).
But a life of purely checked boxes isn’t going to make the change we seek to make; it won’t make us feel fulfilled; and it certainly won’t get us to the life of work that we can truly get behind.
Stay Positive & More Projects, Less Boxes
