Things are fun when they are getting done…
I had been enjoying my work as a Business Intelligence Analyst, but I was not living with discipline at home. This context kept me up late at night playing video games.
On one such sleep-deprived workday, I went into a frenzy of productivity, both personally and professionally. The wake of what I had wrought left me with a feeling of accomplishment that eclipsed whatever top score, badges, or medals I earned only hours before. It was in the aftermath of my effectiveness that I coined the phrase, “Things are fun when they are getting done”.
When my tasks feel mundane, this quote reminds me of the light at the end of the tedium tunnel. “Things are fun when they are getting done” has become a mantra of focus and serenity. When I feel that urge for easy accomplishment and hear the sirens’ call of video games to distract me from my true goals for real life, I repeat as necessary.
