First, down the road isn’t often a good direction to go in. It’s a path paved for other reasons than the ones you’re set out to achieve. It’s conformity. It’s the status quo, too.
Kicking might not be the best method, either. It’s going to damage the can. Disappoint.
And bigger picture-wise: it’s a massive waste of time.
That doesn’t mean leave the can there and ignore it.
Pick the can up. Put it where it needs to go. Then get on with work that’s worth doing.
Of course, this isn’t about a can. It’s about the little bits of busy work we face in our lives. The stuff we often pass off as “someone else’s job” or “it’s not that important right now.”
Stay Positive & No More Hiding
