Sieging The Castle

Imagine a task of sieging a castle. First you try the front gate, and get repelled. Then you try the ramparts on the side. You dig tunnels and construct battering rams. Progress is zero until you finally break through.

Frustrations and fatigue mount with each failure. If success doesn’t arrive soon, it's easy to abandon the fight.

The choice between easy raids and hard sieges appears in our work as well - The routine tasks to tick off versus the real work that makes your career.
