The Hidden Value of Tedious Tasks

August 13, 2023

Today has been dedicated to fixing my computer issues, a task I find tedious. I've been spending hours removing junk programs and cleaning my digital space, while also solving technical issues I've been postponing to solve.

While such days feel frustrating and seemingly unproductive, I understand their long-term value. Future me will be grateful that I solved these things, so that things can run smoother on the day-to-day. Often, the path to higher productivity isn’t glamorous.

It's about creating the right environment for long-term success, even if it means tackling the bothersome tech repairs and mundane maintenance we often avoid.
