Is that the mindset you have? Are the rest part of your assembly line?
The problem with checklists, the problem with the 20 emails you have to send, the problem with the four meetings you’ve got to attend is that you know you’ve got another one on deck, so let’s just get through this one, cut ourselves some slack, leave out the “thank you” at the end.
When you have the mindset that the last one on your to-do list is the one that matters, you’re dumbing down the work you do, you’re establishing an average that your outlier won’t recover.
The problem for you is there are people out there treating each task as if it were their last, as if the task they are doing is always the one that matters.
We put too much faith on going out with a bang, we support mediocrity and fall to our competitors when we breeze through the assembly line of work and treat only one (typically the last in line) as if it’s the one that matters.
It’s not.
Stay Positive & It Might Be Time To Leave The Line
