Many books have been written which touch upon personal productivity or find a better balance between work and life. One of the elements to being more productive is to choose the work you do and, just as important, choosing the work not to do. Michael Bungay Stanier takes a slightly different angle with his coaching methodology and book “Find Your Great Work” . Michael recognizes three basic levels of work: Bad Work, Good Work and Great Work.

Bad Work being a waste of time, energy & life, doing it once is one time too many. Good Work is the familiar, useful, productive work you do and do well. Great Work is the essence:

“The work that matters, inspires, stretches and provokes. This is both a place of deep comfort – “the flow zone” – and discomfort. The comfort comes from its connection, its “sight line” to what matters most to you. The discomfort comes because the work is new, is challenging and as a result there’s an element of risk and possible failure – and it is work that matters, work that you care about.”
