What Is This Effort For? | Working Hard on the Wrong Problem

When you are working hard on something, how often do you stop to ask what the extra effort is actually achieving?
In aerospace engineering, ninety-nine percent is a failure, and the extra effort is obviously worth it. That standard left me with a question I only fully understood much later: good enough for what?
This Spark follows that question from aircraft components to the analytical models I built afterward, and the hours I spent making them easy to hand over. Watching those handovers happen showed me the real obstacle was somewhere else entirely.
It is a short reflection on effort as a matter of direction rather than quantity, and on how to tell whether the extra work is reaching the thing you think it is.
💡 Pause and reflect: Think of something you keep improving. What is that extra effort for?
If these conversations are adding something to your journey, reserve your seat in the sanctuary by following the show wherever you listen.
