I actually really appreciate the mindset this has given me towards life in general, and I consider it a superpower.

I find people get overwhelmed and go deer in the headlights when there is a huge amount of stuff to do.

I actually feel relaxed when I say “it’s not possible to do it all. There will always be more jobs than time. The only thing that matters is that we work on the most important things”

I also enjoy seeing the things that just perpetually sit at the bottom and never even get close to being looked at. Others stress and think it’s a huge problem. I like to look at them and see that in context, there are much bigger fish to fry, and we’re doing the right thing by frying the bigger ones and ignoring the little ones.



Mostly agree, one small caveat. I always had a class of critical problems. They were rarely the important, but they were critical to things running smoothly.
