Most of what you should be doing is adequate.

No more.

No less.

Adequate isn’t bad.

Adequate = sufficient.

And when you figure out the multitude of small things that can be done adquately rather than excellently, you’ll find (after some moments of soul-searching and standards-wrestling) that you’ll have more time on your hands.

Time you can put towards Great Work.

And Great Work is EXACTLY the sort of work you should be doing at a level of excellence.

Great Work matters, Great Work engages your heart and hands and mind.

The true cost of you holding to a standard of excellence in everything you do is that you do nothing truly excellently.

For you to say Yes to Great Work, you need to say No to “everything will be excellent.”
