Ten Questions for Work That Matters

Good morning,
This was a recent blog post by Seth Godin. I thought the ten questions were thought-provoking so I sat down, under the influence of too much cold medicine, I provoked a thought or two and answered them myself.
Plus I added a funny cat cartoon. You’re welcome.

Feel free to send me some of your answers, I’m sure they’ll be better than mine.

PS My fingers are so loopy-sloppy that spellcheck made this page look like it was bleeding to death. Just sayin’

Ten questions for work that matters

What are you doing that’s difficult? (Writing three projects every day, avoiding carbs, wrangling cats)

What are you doing that people believe only you can do? (This blog, the screenplay, the musical, fall asleep on the back of our motorcycle.)

Who are you connecting? (Not who, what. The dots, I’m connecting the dots)

What do people say when they talk about you? (She’s nuts, I wish she was taller and she’s prettier in her pictures)

What are you afraid of? (Drowning and bad grammar)

What’s the scarce resource? (Um, I don’t understand the question, but I’d have to say — cheese.)

Who are you trying to change? (Only myself. Well, and my dog. Oh yeah and men who wear their hair in buns. Please stop.)

What does the change look like? (It looks like a hot mess, then silence, then something a whole lot better than before)

Would we miss your work if you stopped making it? (I have no way of knowing that, but I’d like to think…hell yeah!)

What do you stand for? (I stand for the National Anthem, the right to choose, and never apologizing for being who you are at all times)

What contribution are you making? (Baby steps toward the rise of the late blooming female over fifty!)

Hints: Any question that’s difficult to answer deserves more thought.

Any answers that are meandering, nuanced or complex are probably a symptom of something important.
(Uh oh, Is there a cream for that?)

Carry on,
