Difficult work vs routine work

I was always interested in the question of how to evaluate various types of work, that it is more difficult to just complete the work or come up with a new, more elegant way and make it faster. Very helpful came another set of Godin in which he examines the concepts of routine and hard work. Your attention translation, I will be glad to hear additions and personal examples.

Routine work is a lawyer who bills 14 hours a day for filling out forms and forms.

Difficult work is insightful at the trial, which brings together four separate thoughts and concludes that it will win the case in less than five minutes.

Routine work has deep historical roots. Farmers, hunters, factory workers ... There has always been the routine work necessary for success. From generation to generation, it was a huge advantage that was given to those who possessed the strength of mind and endurance to perform routine work.

Hard work scares. We shy away from hard work, because risk is an integral part of it. Difficult work is difficult because you can fail. You can not be mistaken, doing routine work, you can just not have time to perform it on time. When performing difficult work, you can fail if you do not establish an emotional connection, if you do not solve the problem or hesitate when making decisions.

I think it is worth noting that routine work often creates the conditions for hard work. If you have succeeded enough, practiced enough, and have learned enough, then most likely you will find yourself in a position to do difficult work.

It seems, however, no matter how much routine work you have done, it will not give you the benefits of hard work until you yourself are ready for this jump.

PS Difficult - from the word work.
