Frequently in my line of work, I enter some sort of conflict with others. This isn't always a problem, buisness is full of different ideas, and people sometimes aren't thinking from the same perspective as myself. ## Strategies ### Job Specific #### Urgency "We aren't saving babies from burning buildings, it's not that urgent" -- [[Justin Welenofsky]] Nothing I truly do is super sensitive -- people aren't going to die because I don't update a paragraph. This isn't an excuse to not do something, but it does mean that not everything I do is ultra-critical. I can take time for myself, and say "Hey, can I do this in 30m?". New work doesn't always need to supplant my current work.
