You can do work, but are you doing meaningful work? The trap with menial “make-work” tasks is that they make you feel productive, but they don’t move you forward.
These tasks gum up your to-do list and sap your energy that you need for the vital and important things on your to-do list.
Get them out of the way. Move them to the end of your day of work. Trust that you will get the important things done and have an extra hour or two at the end of the day to get this annoying/junk work done.
Get it out of the way and focus on the work that moves your life in the direction you wish to go. Don’t let the other stuff gunk up your days and drain your energy.
