Make Work Matter is a living companion to the book. The book gives you the complete experience. This page is where examples, reader discoveries, and additional material can grow over time.
SEE — See What Is Taking Over Your Work
Question: What is consuming me without moving what matters?
Notice the work that keeps you occupied, responsive, and tired without creating a useful difference. The purpose is not to eliminate routine work. It is to see when activity has started replacing contribution.
CHOOSE — Choose What Deserves Your Work
Question: What matters enough to deserve my work?
Bring the work back to three realities: Someone. Change. Proof. Who must be helped? What useful change should happen? What could show that the change has begun?
MOVE — Move What Matters
Question: What can I move now?
Movement begins when intention touches the work. Choose a real next move, make it small enough to begin, and pay attention to what happens.
MULTIPLY — Make the Contribution Travel
Question: How can this continue or become useful beyond me?
A contribution multiplies when another person can use it, improve it, repeat it, teach it, or carry it forward without depending on your constant presence.
