I capitalized the W in work not because of title conventions but because I get all kinds of work done but I am not getting enough Work done.

I’m not digging into the kind of brain-engaging, satisfying work that is most important to me often enough and I want to change that.

I know part of the reason is that it is difficult to marshal the energy for that type of work. The fact that it requires me to keep track of different sets of information is also a factor. And that kind of work takes more time than random tasks do – thinking time and writing time and revising time.

And it’s hard to know where to start to give myself time and space to get to that work.

But, as I tell my coaching clients, and as I try to tell myself, if I don’t know where to start then I can start anywhere.

So I’m going to start by making a list things I want to write about and see if that helps me move forward.
