Important. Difficult. Succeeding.

I like this from Russell Davies, telling the story of visiting Microsoft's campus in the 1990s when Bill Gates was still around.

Gates was notoriously socially awkward, so he just asked everything the same question, "What are you working on?". People ensured they had an answer that made it sound like they were working on something:

• Important
• Difficult
• Succeeding

As Davies says, it's not a bad audit in terms of thinking about your work.
