Urgent but not Important

I’ve always tried to focus on the important stuff like planning for a child’s birthday or my tax returns.

The struggle is handling things that are just constantly in your face. Mainly other people’s agenda, issues or crisis.

I’m busy….leave me alone

I sit here like a stress sponge constantly soaking up unbearable anxiety and grieve.

For private technical requests, I use a help desk system to ease the stress.

This has the bonus benefit or resolving the issue faster and focuses in on the precise issue. Most times the end-user just wants to vent to a human.

Could I switch career at this stage?  Someone floated the idea to me last week. It’s risky but hard to avoid InfoSec right now and quite frankly I don’t want to do anything else.

My chess game has deteriorated below 800 Elo right now. I simply cannot concentrate.

Consequences schmonsequences, as long as I’m Rich!!!

Massive work-life conflict is on the rampage with me, even eating an Apple is complicated nowadays.  I really wish my actions would not have such deep long lasting impact all the time.  It’s like I can’t afford to make a single strategic error in work or play.

Holidays are hard work
Work is hard work
Love is hard work

Working long hours hardly makes me better it just gives me more alone time.

So in under 15 years, I’ll be retired…but what does that look like?

Too young to retire, too old to start again

Will I have to depend on someone to care for me physically and financially?

Yes, I think I’m better than you

Sometimes it’s great just to say it out load.

Elite gaming gives you “all access” permission to shout out that I’m better than you and prove it.

Elite gaming can be taught

The problem is that you can’t be great at everything.

Experts are often critically vulnerable in areas outside their specialism. Ask a Sniper to run the Medic role and he’ll die multiple times before getting the hang of it.

On Monday I’ll start my Horizon Zero Dawn™ experience after seeing Logan on Saturday with old mates. With a reported story mode of 30 hours, I expect to rinse out Horizon for at least 6 months.

I’m running through major decision points in my story, risks are high and outcomes are uncertain.
