With being sick, as I have been for the past week, it just makes me realize how unenthused I am about rushing back to be in front of a computer. Instead, I wish I could just meet with amazing people in a nearby coffee shop, a cozy diner, a nice office and just… do the work.
The computer screen looks the same when there’s 100 things to do and when there’s just two things to do. When everything is done, it looks no different than having multiple fires to put out.
The computer is the same no matter what.
Back when I activated cell phones from faxed order forms (in the late 90s), when there was a stack of 25 phones to process, that looked different than when we were all caught up.
And it was a delight.
But today’s knowledge work is never done.
