"Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right, or doing it better."

~John Updike


Well, sure. He was a writer. Easy for him to say that anything can be creative. But isn't it true? Have you ever found yourself persisting on a task long past the point that everyone else was satisfied with it, changing and testing one little part that you know maybe 1 person in 1,000 will even notice, much less care about? Chances are, if you're dealing with that kind of task, you're dealing with a strength. Cherish those tasks. Working on them will help sustain you through the things that you get done just because they need to be done and it fell to you to do them.


This week's challenge: Spend too long perfecting something you care about.
