The next time you get bogged down by details, don't scramble for a way to figure out how to get every single one of them down pat. For a good example of this warning, look at a particularly tightly wound coworker or friend: the stress in their life is mostly self-inflicted, and the extra effort they put out is rarely rewarded. Skip the martyr act and keep things simple. If small problems pop up, they pop up, and they often make life a lot more interesting.
