Will Humphreys explores the difference between work you're good at and work that actually energizes you. The conversation centers on finding tasks that feel effortless, where competence alone isn't enough to make work feel meaningful.
The geniuses being the thing that naturally gives you energy that doesn't feel like work. Right. The thing that's just like, I love doing this and nothing could stop me from it. The competencies are like, it never. It doesn't really necessarily draw from your energy, but it doesn't necessarily mean, like, you get all of your energy, so.
You can do it, but it doesn't necessarily feed your soul. So you're capable of doing it well. But it's not like this thing that you get excited about, like the green or the ones that energize you, light you up. This doesn't let you up or take you down. But it does take time.
Correct.
So the only negative thing there would be that it takes away from time that you could be spending doing something that you are genius about.
