How You Do Anything Is How You Do Everything

Likely, there are things in your daily life that are not the most pleasing or interesting or inspiring to do. No matter how much you love your field of work or study, there will always be things that are not what you would prefer to be doing at the moment.

Yet, if you stick to doing what it takes, no matter how simple a task may seem, you build up to a vast amount of work for yourself and your craft.

I get it. It is tempting to scroll down your Instagram feed or text your friends while you are in a tedious task.

Because how you do anything is how you do everything.

Ultimately, it is how you become better at trivial tasks to get better at essential matters. It is the difference between one who merely accomplishes ordinary things and one who accomplishes extraordinary things.

By approaching tasks as part of your craft, these will cumulate and create a domino effect that only the future will tell what the combined result is.

You Must Take Your Craft Off the Pedestal

Strive for perfection in anything and everything you do. It is the cumulative effect that will benefit you with long term results. The responsibilities will be long gone forgotten, but the abilities you build through them will be valuable in due time.

Focusing on small tasks that might not inspire nor interest might be hard at first. But paying attention to each little task will make you develop your craft.

“Whatever is rightly done, however humble, is noble.” — Sir Henry Royce

Because how you do anything is how you do everything.
