Do not climb it. Forget it. The important issues will call you back AGAIN, and the others..., well, the aforementioned ones were the important ones, weren't they?

As a Spanish proverb says (with no religious meaning in any way): if Muhammad doesn't go to the mountain, the mountain goes to Muhammad...

I try to live by another proverb, from Kabir, which (badly translated) says

Do what you must do tomorrow, today and what you must do today, now.

Of course, that saying in Spanish more or less goes as "do not leave for tomorrow what you can do today".

But my joke was centered in the absurd rush hour we seem to perpetually live in nowadays...

I mean I'm a civil engineer and most of the time I just cannot understand how the hell they managed 50 years ago when, today, I want/need this budget in an hour, this calculation this afternoon, those materials tomorrow and those people working there yesterday. And you know, they built dams, bridges and ports as big as today ones. And 500 years ago they built cathedrals. And 2000 years ago Romans (and descendants) built the Pantheon and Colosseum in Rome, Hagia Sophia in Constantinople or Alcantara's Bridge...

And nowadays, we are a week off for whatever reason, and when we return, it seems as if there had been two tsunamis, a zombie plague and an alien invasion all mixed up...

Indeed, it can be difficult to stay sane with the pressures of modern life. I find being my own boss and having some perspective helps with that in my life

The key point is to get a good mix between personal life and your professional life. Fortunately, that gets more and more understanding in the industry nowadays and is actively supported. A happy worker is a better worker.
