And Abe, I completely forgot about happiness in all this. I think the reason much of this is relevant nowadays is because we define ourselves by our careers, our reputations, etc. Though everyone wants to be happy, I wonder how many people actually have it defined as their ultimate goal.

However, if we take the initial time out to organize ourselves properly, we can still simplify regular tasks greatly. A bit of extra work at the outset can ease and speed up the execution of many tasks.

With ever-growing choice and information, I’ve personally stopped worrying that I’ve missed something vitally important, because it’s less relevant. So long as we generally know where we need to look and have the right methods to digest that information effectively, it’s unlikely to cause a problem, even for specialists.

And the changes in the world still don’t necessarily mean a need for increased stress-management in my opinion. With the right mindset, focus, and simplifications through initial organization, we should all be able to achieve hyper-efficiency, getting more done in less time. I’m going to be positive and say that I don’t think it’s so far-fetched.
