Do the Work

In this busy and distracted world, more times than not, we think we are working, but if we’re honest, we are not.

The only way to read a 20-page document is to put aside an hour, and actually read it. No kidding, there is no hack, there is no quick-fix, no easy-out. If you need to read, then you need a closed door, the phone off, and a cup of coffee or whatever gets you through it.

Knowledge work is about knowledge. And you can’t make that up. If you’re going to show up for work, how about you do.
