I really like this article for acknowledging the frustrating feeling of invisible hard work. It's easy to feel overlooked when you're consistently putting in effort, especially on background tasks.

However, the article makes a valid point: in the reality of human attention spans, we tend to focus on what's most visible and impactful. It's not that people don't value your hard work, it's simply that visibility helps them see and remember your contributions in a meaningful way.

Yes, and I have heard human attention spans have decreased even more in the past decade. Getting visible is a win-win, for you and the people receiving your work.

You are visible, so make your work visibile. this is partly why I started a newsletter and hopefully, I can get back to it. Lovely piece and always encouraging.
