When everything has to be perfect, it will feel like nothing ever is.
When everything is a fire drill, people will burn out.
When everything is on one person’s shoulders, the weight will crush them.
Far better to sort out what has to be perfect and what is good enough (as in, it’s good, now enough – ship it and move onto the next).
Far better to only call something a fire drill when it truly is. (Does that email really need to be marked high importance?)
Far better to ask for help, rally your tribe of supporters to assist or speak up about your bandwidth to better prioritize where you put your time and what you’re responsible for.
The world doesn’t need more firefighters; it needs more people to think smartly about the systems that are in place and speak up when they’re broken.
Stay Positive & “Everything” Is Too Much
