Louis Massaro argues you should wish for bigger problems: if you're going to spend time solving them anyway, make them count. Know your numbers and what matters. Ignorance of your metrics hides when you're actually doing better than you think.
Don't wish you didn't have any more problems. Wish for bigger problems. If you got to sit and figure shit out anyways, why not work on stuff that's bigger, that's going to get you better results? It's being okay with the fact that sometimes you don't get things done, sometimes you don't implement. But when we have the clarity to know what's important and what's not, you feel good about where you're at. You've got to feel good about where you're at. There's a big, big, big difference. People say, you know, I'm hard on myself. There's a big difference between beating yourself up and giving yourself a swift kick in the ass when you need it. If we don't have clarity on our plan and the progress of that plan, you're going to be stressed. Simple as that. I know people that are so stressed, they don't know their numbers, but they actually end up they're doing better than they think they're doing. And when they finally learn their numbers, that they've had their head in the sand for so long, this was me. And they oh, okay, it actually isn't that bad. But when you're just working off bank accounts and this and that, and you don't really know what's coming and going, of course you're not going to have that clarity. Of course you're not going to know what the progress is.
