Marginal minutes

Every minute of the day counts. Michael Lopp says it beautifully:

“... there are no marginal minutes. It is my personal and professional responsibility as a leader to bring as much enthusiasm, curiosity, and forward momentum to every single minute of my day. When I find myself in a situation where the value is not obvious, I seek it because it’s always there.”

I love this. So often we find ourselves in an uninspiring situation, and we hold our breath. Let’s just wait this out. It will be over soon, and we’ll be back to finding what’s meaningful.

But there are no marginal minutes. All the minutes are valuable.

Be someone who learns. Be curious. Be alive.

And seek the value; it’s always there.
