Make things better to make things better.
What are you making today? Yes! You are a creative maker! In our world of professional titles, it may not feel like a fit. But every time you meet a client, create a spreadsheet, write a lesson plan, or sketch a plan, you may be making a professional relationship, a monetary framework, a learning experience, or an urban lifestyle to improve someone’s life. You’re making things better.
Making things better is the internal propeller for getting up in the morning and creating a checklist of things to do. Those “mundane” activities empower the next thing. Send a zoom link √, write the proforma √, create the PowerPoint √, or measure the sidewalk √. Do it knowing it may lead to a new project, a business plan with goals to achieve, information that inspires a student, or a new sidewalk path for a neighbor. Keep your eye on the better part of the making, knowing that better can’t happen without the mundane.
