I do not need to keep up with everything. I need to keep up with what matters.

A new tool. A new trend. A new social platform. A new method that supposedly changes everything. The feeling that we need to stay on top of it all can easily replace the work itself.

I am learning to enjoy what I miss. I do not need to follow everything, react to everything or try every new thing. I can choose a few things and give them my full attention.

Good work often does not come from knowing about everything. It comes from being able to ignore most things for long enough.
