I very recently realized something was wrong with my mental stance when I realized I was responding to work agenda items with some variation of the phrase, “Sure, that shouldn’t be too painful.” Clearly the first thing that came to mind when contemplating a task wasn’t how long it would take, what resources would be needed, or how to do it, but rather how much suffering I would have to go through to accomplish it. This actually motivated some deeper changes in my lifestyle. Seeing this post here was extremely useful and timely for me.
