Dive under
Every now and again you just have to get stuck in.
Most times though, you can get away with not.
Most times, if you’re looking for excuses, it’s someone else’s job – that mess of cabling under the desk that connects you to the world … not your business. If it’s broken, get someone else in here to sort it out. If that means you can’t do your job, well, that’s just the way it is. It’s someone else’s fault and someone else’s problem to fix. Nothing you can do about it, right?
Maybe it’s a delegation thing. You’ve convinced yourself that your position or title or sense of personal worth stops you from digging around down there. Even if it means you suffer, even if it means the project suffers.
No.
Deal with the obstacles, don’t just hone your excuses.
