I can’t be bothered”. It’s a phrase I use all too often.
At the weekend Penny went sailing with a friend and talking to him how much faffing about it took just to keep the thing maintained and setting it up to go sailing I marvelled at how he could be bothered.
Last night we went kayaking along a stretch of the Thames. We nearly didn’t go because I couldn’t be bothered. In reality it only took us twenty minutes to drive to the river and five minutes to inflate and set up the kayak. In return we had the most wonderful trip in glorious low sunshine and came back full of the joys of life.
It’s the same at work. It so easy to slip into not being bothered. Failing to find the reason to put in that little bit of effort that can make work so rewarding and make a difference.
It’s worth finding the reason to be bothered.
