"Task Balance" in Four Secrets "It's not enough to consider how you do things and why you do them... you must also learn to see the world in terms of what it is that you're actually doing." Chapter 6 "Task Type Conflict is not about whether you love or hate the specific thing you are doing at the moment.  It is about whether that 'thing' represents too much of a certain type of task for you." Chapter 7 "It seems inane to ask 'what am I doing?'  This should be the one question that we call can answer easily... [Yet] there is more infor-mation in front of our noses than we realize, and more hidden opp-ortunity to reduce work stress." Chapter 6 "As a rule of thumb, when you find yourself aggravated, frustrated, or restless because of a task that you have done before without these negative feelings, the central issue is probably a Task Type Conflict." Chapter 7
