Mark Evans DM reflects on showing up to work even when unmotivated, and doing the job well anyway. He talks about working long hours for low pay and what that taught him about working smarter, not just harder.
I worked 12 hours. I got paid $72 a day, 72 bucks a day to do insulation in this church. If I was smart, I'd have said, I don't want paid per hour. I want to get paid per job. I might have worked different, might have worked harder. I might have worked smarter. I don't know. But that's what I learned through my processes. I showed up there and started asking different questions, but I still did the job. I did it amazingly well. I worked my ass off, but that's the only person that cares. I worked my ass off is me, by the way. So I'm saying it out loud, but I showed up multiple days when I didn't want to.
