Jake Burhans asks how much time you actually spend worrying about small things like appearance or minor flaws. He argues this preoccupation feeds worry and anger, and pushes you to stop obsessing over stuff that doesn't matter.

A serious question that I have for you is how much time and energy do you spend? Now realistically ask yourself this. How much time and energy do you spend on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis sweating the small stuff? How much time? How much time? Oh, your hair doesn't look good in this picture. Maybe you look a little pudgy in the picture, or the project didn't come out exactly the way you wanted to, or there's a little coffee stain on your shoe or something, and you're just spending all day ruining your wasting so much energy in worry, anger, frustration, pissed off. How much energy are we spending on stuff? Why are we sweating the small stuff? That's my biggest question.
