I’m struggling to wake up this morning. A few hours out of bed, 3 cups of coffee, music blasting but still nothing. I feel like if I lean my head back I’d be asleep in a second. But it has been worth it – a good week of productivity leading up to a slew of back due emails to get through. It’s almost like this work thing doesn’t stop!
In seriousness though, productivity is a reward for me. I will run through walls, pull a week of all-nighters, pull together solutions I hadn’t dreamed up before as long as the end goal has value. I’m fortunate that the client I’m working with right now gets it and has a team of like minded people. It’s easier to do when, on top of the work, you have a team around you that moves together. There are always disagreements along the way but disagreement is a sign of healthy communication.
So cherish the moments when you’ve run further than you probably should.
