Not only can most things wait, most things should. You either can’t stop thinking about them, or those thoughts fade away. Let time do some work for you.

Also, there’s nothing fucking smart about working 72-hour weeks as your standard all-year, every-year operating schedule. It’s a recipe for human misery and burnout. For destroyed relationships and crippling fatigue. It’s a theory of disposable workers and it’s morally bankrupt.

If your company requires you to work nights and weekends, your company is broken. This is a managerial problem, not your problem. This is a process problem, not a personal problem. This is an ownership problem, not an individual problem.
