"As a punishment from the gods for his trickery, Sisyphus was made to roll a huge boulder up a steep hill, but before he could reach the top of the hill, the rock would always roll back down, forcing him to begin again. The maddening nature of the punishment was reserved for Sisyphus due to his hubristic belief that his cleverness surpassed that of Zeus. As a result when Sisyphus was condemned to his punishment, Zeus displayed his own cleverness by binding Sisyphus to an eternity of frustration with the boulder rolling away from Sisyphus when he neared the top of the hill."

What tasks do you do that you can never complete? How close can you get to finishing a project before you lose control of it and it rolls back on you? When is it time to call it a new day and find a new task to do?
The definition of madness - doing the same thing, over and over and over again....
Here's the challenge -
- Identify area's tasks and projects that never end and never finish in your working life.
- Ask for help from others to get that boulder over the hill.
- Or walk away and let someone else start rolling the boulder instead...
