Too much left to do?

Common conversation in offices everywhere is the insurmountable amount of work left to be done on a project. Or in a particular department. Or at home. Or wherever.

There’s not enough time, not enough people. Discouragement and despair sending morale and productivity spiraling down down down.

This quote can help you stop, maybe even reverse that.

So often we are depressed by what remains to be done and forget to be thankful for all that has been done.

Use this quote as a reminder for yourself.

Use it to launch a discussion with your staff about what’s left to do and how much time it will take. 

Bonus: You may discover some things that don’t really need to be done!
