The “tyranny of tiny tasks” and “fidelity to daily tasks.”
And then it struck me that the contrast between the forms of life suggested by these two phrases tells us a great deal about the roots of so much of our exhaustion and dissatisfaction. I imagine that in some cases the very same task could be experienced and described as either fidelity. I do not want to succumb to the tyranny of tiny tasks. I do want to live so that I might speak of my fidelity to daily tasks.
