I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Stoic.

I’m to ask what’s the purpose of this. I have a hard time with chores and cleaning because I see them as activities that happen over and over again with no real value. I don’t live in filthy. It is a bit messy though because I struggle with the reason for doing it.

In the larger view of things this also applies at work. I’m struggling with some of my responsibilities because I’m not all that engaged in them. The work is fine but it doesn’t energize me. I’ve addressed this with my leadership and there is a plan. I still have to do the job though because in the end it does have value even if it doesn’t energize me.
