And, of course, you need to deliver it. But that hardly makes it a source of excitement.

Put Quality at Number 1
Put quality at the top of your priority list. Not for the familiar reasons, that you already know. Arguments like:
• Your client, your boss, or your organization is paying for it
• Your reputation is tied to the quality of your deliverables
• Poor quality means tedious re-work
• Right-first-time saves time and money
• Poor quality can create health and safety threats
• And low quality can compromise security

There's Another Reason to Prioritize Quality
Part of it is a deep pride in doing something really well. That's the part that's easy to explain.

But there's more to it than pride:
There can be a deep pleasure in getting lost in doing something well. It is a sense of complete commitment that is deeply fulfilling. A part of it is the feeling of 'being in the flow' that you get when you are wholly engrossed.

I'm Thinking about Mindfulness
When we take the time to dedicate our complete focus on something, magic can happen. It's about how we feel, the sharpness of our senses, and confidence in our work. You can get lost in your work so that doing it gives you complete satisfaction. And, when you have finished, your pride in its quality is about the satisfaction that you have done the best you can.

You Can Put Quality First in Anything
It might be producing a deliverable, holding a conversation, or eating your lunch. Turn every scrap of your attention over to the task at hand. And see what a difference that makes.\n
