As I talk to people about doing Great Work, I’m always challenging them to think about the Good Work (and the Bad Work) that fills up most of our days.

There’s nothing wrong with Good Work. But until you start saying No to Good Work, it’s difficult to get more Great Work into your life.

Seth Godin’s got his own take on this. In one of his recent blog posts, he asks:

Are you better at what you do than you were a month or two ago?

…

Does that mindless stuff you do at work when the boss isn’t looking (or all those meetings you go to are all those emails you answer) make you better or just pass the time?

Good question.

What if you started the day asking: What will make me better today? And what will I do to ensure I experience that?
