Letting go...

Many of us, though we will not admit that we are, are rather obsessive compulsive when it comes to our work. Working tirelessly for hours straight, we endeavor to put 150% effort into everything we do. It is our goal to create the best possible product for everything we do. But sometimes we have to stop and think.... Is it really worth the time?

Don't worry if you have this problem because it won't stop you from being a leader.. as long as you realize the problem. In fact, I myself have this problem and am trying to work to improve. My dad has always told me that if you concentrate too much on the little things, you'll miss out on the big picture. The best way to fix this problem is to first come up with the main goal; the one thing you are working hard to attain. As long as you have defined that, you can determine how much time you need to spend on things to acheive that goal. The one important lesson to learn that will "cure" you of this problem is to realize that all the little things are going to add up to the big thing... so there is no need to try and make every little thing big.
