I’m pretty busy at work these days.
I could pull an 80-hour work week and still have plenty left to do—all things I’m trying to cram into my 40-hour work week as best I can.
…Maybe you can relate.
Add on top of that the fact that oftentimes as I’m working, I’ll get interrupted.
I’ll have kids peek-a-boo into my office, parents stop in to ask questions, instructors ask for advice or guidance, staff share daily happenings, students want to talk or chat the chat with me… and so on…
And it makes getting all of the busy done, as efficiently as I’d like to, challenging.
…But you know what?
The inefficiencies are where the magic happens, isn’t it?
It’s those moments spent peek-a-booing with kids… chatting with parents about life… giving instructors guidance… interacting with my staff whom I’m so proud to have on my team… and chatting the pointless chat with students… that make all of the damn work I’m trying to efficiently get done—worth it.
Without them, I’d be clacking away at a keyboard… for what? For whom?
