If you do boring things well, you'll be relied upon to always do boring things. You should do boring things poorly so that administrators give up on you as a bad job and you can spend your time doing valuable things.

Doing the boring things really well and consistently = winning. But it's also the toughest. Our brain needs dopamine!

Let me guess, you also say, “If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life” Success is having a reasonably good idea combined with winning the lottery. But mostly, apparently, it’s winning the lottery.

Ninety percent of success can be boiled down to consistently doing the obvious thing for an uncommonly long period of time without convincing yourself that you're smarter than you are. Shane Parrish 🎯 ⭕⚪

I would argue it is to do the necessary things voluntarily, sooner
