The following two articles might help 👇
The first, by Scott Young, shows how biased we are towards adding new tasks and responsibilities, even though subtracting them can often bring better results.
That article also provides a handy alternative to saying “no” to everything.
Second is an old blog post from Tim Ferriss that I think about often: The Art of Letting Bad Things Happen
Key quote from that…
It’s not that I go out of my way to irritate people — not at all — but I recognize one critical fact: oftentimes, in order to do the big things, you have to let the small bad things happen. This is a skill we want to cultivate.
