Nonsensical Work

When is working nonsensical?

How often do you do pointless work?

How often do you have to do it?

How often could you do differently?

Work can be nonsensical for many reasons:

we might be too tired;

the task itself creates no value;

the task is not getting us closer to the goal;

someone else is better suited than we are.

Often, we won’t realise till it is too late.

Learning to identify nonsense creates time.

Time that is spent better elsewhere.
