The work you do without being asked is often the work that most needs doing, but it carries a particular weight that assigned tasks never do. You become responsible not only for the quality but for the fact that it exists at all. No one will thank you for solving a problem they did not know they had, and no one will forgive you if you solve it badly. The hardest part is not the extra hours or the lack of recognition. The hardest part is that you cannot blame anyone else for the choice to begin it, which means you cannot blame anyone else when it feels like too much.
