Exhausting, But Pleasurable Work

It's been a full day. It started with an early morning walk and ended with a late evening client meeting. I am exhausted.

But I feel good. I feel productive. It's an amazing start to the week. The big chunks are ticked off and my week is planned.

And while it's an exhausting day because of the amount of work, it was also pleasurable work.

• We had a fruitful strategy session in the afternoon—discussions were stimulating to the mind, and the people I work with are amazing. We got a lot done.
• The client meeting was a breeze because the client is a pleasant man. Discussing felt easy, light, and comfortable.

Work can be exhausting, but the people we work with play a huge role in making that more bearable, even enjoyable.
