Let the system be independent of you
Your indisposition or unavailability should not truncate the flow of the system. Otherwise, whatever you are doing is not a system, but a showmanship. Even at that, the Thespians (the masters of shows) have a saying that no matter what happens, "The Show Must Go On!"
Your payment and expectations of you
Everything about your work has financial value
Everything we do in the office, about work or around the office has financial value, either profit or loss. How we feel about this or react to it does not change that fact, we only need to align ourselves as required per time.
The naïve vs the smart worker
The naïve worker believes that a long-drawn dutiful and energetic activity done over a stretch of time is the key to success in the workplace. The smart worker knows that a perfect blend of intelligence and focused efforts deployed toward the same end within an increasingly decreasing timeline is the key to accelerated climbing of the corporate ladder.
