Getting things done as a means to exploration
Why do we make lists, grind away at our desks and generally try to get things done? For most, including me, it’s so that we can go home, which is a great reason.
But I want to offer up another reason (even though I’m a huge fan and advocate of going home):
Get things done so that you can explore:
- New ideas
- New companies
- New relationships
- New projects
I think exploration should be a part of everyone’s job, and a motivator for getting things done, because once all of our “work” is done, exploration can begin. Exploration is exciting and *can* lead to new and interesting ventures, projects, relationships, etc., which is what work should be all about.
