Minimalism, Milburn:
How does this task add value? This is a question we used to ask ourselves every day in our corporate jobs. More than anything else, this one question helped us succeed. We also asked our employees the same question: How did you add value today? And now we still ask this question of ourselves each day.
At its core, this question allows you to identify how you’re contributing. If you don’t have a good answer, then another question is appropriate: How could I add value to this situation? or How could I better add value? By asking these questions you begin to understand how to use your limited time to better contribute to the people around you.
If you’re constantly asking yourself How am I adding value? you’ll start getting some great answers. When you think in terms of adding value, you’ll start to notice that everything you do starts adding value in various ways. That’s because over time you’ll begin to weed out anything that doesn’t add value to your own life or to other people’s lives.
In our past corporate lives, we both led large groups of people for a major corporation. In doing so, we both discovered that the most rewarding part of our workday always revolved around these times of coaching and mentoring. In other words, we felt the most fulfilled whenever we were adding value to other people’s lives.
