And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

— Colossians 3:23 (KJV)

Some of the work that helps people most is easy to miss. After fixing a problem, I can take a few minutes to record which setting changed and how I tested it. The next person who runs into the issue may never know who wrote those notes, but they’ll have somewhere to start.

This verse gives me a reason to care about that last step. There’s satisfaction in leaving a task in a condition that helps someone else, even when the only visible result is a few lines in a shared document.

I think the same applies to cleaning up after a meal or putting tools back where the next person can find them. These jobs are small enough to overlook. They’re also specific places where I can pay attention and do something with care.
