Regard Little Things As Important

October 2nd, 2006 by Laura Moncur in Motivation

If there is one aspect of my personality that I feel is really powerful, it’s my ability to work around the irritating things in life. I find little ways to make my life more efficient. This was irritating when I worked for other people because I eventually got to the point where I would run out of work because I had increased my efficiency. Instead of being rewarded for this, I was just given more work. I didn’t really think that was fair.

Now, if I can get things done quickly, that just leaves more time for me to write.

In essence, I treat myself just like my former bosses. I give myself more work.

There are many ways to make our lives more efficient. As Lichtenberg said, because we regard little things as important, we are able to work around the irritating things in life. What are the great things that you have created in your life to make your life easier?
