#111: Explaining nonsense at work
It’s time for me to explain why I focus on nonsense at work. The term ‘nonsense’ describes absurd, ridiculous, foolish or meaningless words, ideas, or conduct. Nonsense is purely subjective: you are likely to see ‘nonsense’ when you disapprove of it. (For example, you might disapprove of the word ‘bull’, although others use it to indicate nonsense.)
The problem with nonsense is that it side-tracks you from your work, tricks you into wrong decisions, and trips you up short of your goals. Nonsense stops you from being successful.
Nonsense is always at work. It never stops. That’s the bad news. The good news is that there is always some sense in nonsense, if you look for it. And if you are willing to look for it, time and again you will find that you can make the nonsense at work – work for you.
You see, nonsense has a purpose. It works at getting you to change your ways.
