Episode 7 Good Minutes: Extra - The One-Line Trace: Find the Person Your Work Helps

0:00 2:05

At the end of a flat workday, pick one routine thing you did. Not your biggest win. A report, a delivery, a repair, a phone call. Then ask one question: who is a little better off because this got done? If your first answer is a department or "the company," keep following it until you land on an actual person. A customer. A coworker who didn't have to stay late. A family you'll never meet. Finish one sentence in writing: because I did this, someone can do that. If you honestly can't find anyone at work, look closer to home. Keep the sentence where you'll see it, and save real thank-yous right beside it. Don't expect a sudden love for your job. Some days the trace will feel like a stretch. What you can reasonably hope for is a workday that feels a little less like a conveyor belt. Follow 7 Good Minutes for new episodes every day.
