Some people are remembered for what they built. Most are remembered for whether they showed up.

Very few people are remembered for their output. What gets remembered about nearly everybody is reliability, whether they came to the game, the hospital visit, the move across town. That record gets assembled out of inconvenient attendance rather than achievement, one awkward Tuesday at a time.

Go to one thing this week that you could easily get out of. Being there is the whole contribution, and nobody needs you to be impressive once you arrive.
