For the full story, 17 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: some of the evidence, as far as I was concerned, 18 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,199 Speaker 1: did not match the circumstances. This is the MLK tapes. 19 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: The first episodes are available now. Listen on the I 20 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 21 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: Good morning, This is Laura. Welcome to the New Corner Office, 22 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: the podcast where we share strategies for thriving in the 23 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: new world of work, where location and ours are more 24 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: flexible than in the past. Today's tip is to do 25 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: what's necessary unless you decide to do more. For so 26 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: much in life, good enough is good enough, and doing 27 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: a good enough job on most things allows you to 28 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: choose a few things where you truly knock it out 29 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: of the park. I'm guessing that most lists of this 30 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: podcast are not underachievers. You are exceptionally hard working. You 31 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 1: took your A plus student performance straight into the working world, 32 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: and that's great. I salute you. I like to pride 33 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: myself on setting high standards too, but it's important to 34 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: know when you're doing more or setting higher standards than 35 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: is expected or necessary. It's wise to discern what is 36 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: good enough for a given purpose, and then make a 37 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: conscious decision about whether to do more than that. I 38 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: was recently in a group where several people commiserated about 39 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: a particular early career experience staying up late maybe even 40 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: all night to complete something for a client who then 41 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: didn't even look at it. We can laugh at that, 42 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: but I'm sure many of us have done something similar. 43 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: But here's the problem. This isn't a victimless crime. We 44 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: all have twenty four hours a day, which means that 45 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: no one has time to do everything spectacularly. Choosing to 46 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: do an amazing job on something that didn't wind up 47 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: mattering means you can't bring your best self to something 48 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: that might matter far more. If you stay up all 49 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: night completing a project and then miss an opportunity to 50 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: mentor a colleague who will then go on to become 51 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: the CEO of a much bigger client, well, I am 52 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: just saying this is the kind of thing that happens 53 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: in life. As Juliette in my fable Juliette School of 54 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: Possibilities says, expectations are infinite. Time's finite. We are always 55 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: choosing choose well. Part of choosing well is intentionally deciding 56 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: when to do work that is good enough and when 57 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: to set out to do work that is spectacular. There 58 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: are all kinds of situations that call for good enough. 59 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: For instance, if you are sending a mutual introduction email 60 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: to two people in your network, and you've already told 61 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: each of them about the other. You don't need to 62 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: include their life stories and praise in the email itself. 63 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: Just say how delighted you are to introduce two great people, 64 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: both interested in whatever it is they are both interested in. 65 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: A two sentence email will be just as good as 66 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,119 Speaker 1: a three paragraph email that takes twenty minutes to write, 67 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: So go with the ninety two version. If you proof 68 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: fre to report last night and again this morning, it's 69 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: time to give it to your boss to review. Don't 70 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: keep proof reading beyond the point that proof reading yields 71 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: real benefits. Now, there are plenty of situations where the 72 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: extra effort will be rewarded. You may spend hours or 73 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: even days prepping a pitch for a really big potential client, 74 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: or rehearsing your toast for your brother's wedding. I rehearsed 75 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: my ted talk about two dozen times because I knew 76 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: that doing a good job could lead to a lot 77 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 1: of future speaking engagements. But when the outcome won't be 78 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: much different If you do a lot or a little, 79 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 1: simply do enough to get the outcome you want. You 80 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: don't have to leave everything on the field for every task. 81 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: Remember the Parado principle that the results come from of 82 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: the causes. Now we never know for absolute sure which 83 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: twenty percent of stuff that will be, but you know what, 84 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: we can make a reasonable guess. So do a good 85 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: job unless you have made a choice that you should 86 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: do your absolute best. When you do this, you will 87 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: have the energy to do great things in the meantime. 88 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: This is Laura, Thanks for listening, and here's to succeeding 89 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: in the New Corner Office.
