I keep noticing that the times I feel most overwhelmed are usually when I'm trying to optimize something that doesn't actually matter that much. It's the "shiny object syndrome" of productivity. A new app, a better system... but the root problem is usually just avoiding the hard thing I already know I need to do. I've learned to call that "perfume on a pig" – trying to make something fundamentally broken look better instead of just fixing the damn foundation. It's a fear of the difficult conversations, the hard choices, the potential mess of real change, dressed up as 'efficiency'.
