Some things wait better than others

This is a rare skill:

Learning to filter what can wait from what cannot.

Learn it and live with no regrets. Fail to learn it and find yourself working harder and harder yet feeling more and more ‘behind’.

For isntance, your new project can wait. A market opportunity may pass you by, but that’s the trade for waiting. The project will still be there when you return to it, as will your ability to start new projects.

Conversely, watching your baby grow up cannot wait. There is no pause button; once a chapter is over, it’s over, and you cannot get it back. The memories were either seized in the moment, or lost forever.

Learn the difference, prioritise accordingly, and live with fewer regrets.
