There’s a balancing act between doing things that need to get done and doing things that you want to do. Too much of the former is miserable for you. Too much of the latter is miserable for everybody else.
I’ve had to go to bat for people to work on things that maybe aren’t the absolute most efficient short term use of our resources because working on it will make them either happy or less unhappy. But only rarely can I state it so plainly, so I often wonder what takeaways people are coming to.
