Never-ending.

The noise from the world is never-ending. One thing after another. One urgency after another.

And it's easy to get bogged down in the mess and hope that you'd get a clear day someday to do the work. That's unlikely to happen.

What you can do, though, is to put on the noise-cancellation and focus your energy on the thing that matters. Let the noise be. Let the urgencies be.

The work that matters is exactly that... the thing that matters. We can treat it like that.
