I think people have alarm fatigue due to insufficient resolution of their priority function to make decisions without tons of effort. There are a large number of things in the world that are deeply important, but of upstream importance is knowing that there’s an order that will have to de facto be followed whether you are aware of the things that determine said order or not. And that you won’t personally have time to get to almost any of the urgent things.
I’m pointing this out because lots of things shouting for attention with highest priority signals is a recipe for burnout, while at the same time we do in fact need people still capable of sitting bolt upright occasionally.
