Skill to Master: What Not to Care About

People who are ambitious and want to build something significant in this world often stumble with developing a key skill: what not to care about.

They want everything to be perfect so they “overindex” as they say in the software world on things that don’t matter or that someone else could do.

They agonize over trivial amounts of money.

The don’t focus on the big picture, but get lost in the minutiae.

One way that some overcome this is by realizing that they aren’t making real progress toward their goals and recognizing this is because they are over analyzing things that don’t matter much.

What about you?  Have you mastered this skill?
