Exists a set of highly recurring problems.
- Cold
- Heat
- Sweat
- Rain
- Poor sleep
- Hunger
- Coffee addiction
- Breakfast addiction
- Perfectionism
- Untidiness
- Noise
- Fatigue
- Bad drivers
- Unmet expectations
- Spam
- Joint pain
- Sports injuries
- Pending correspondences
- Spilled liquids
- Complainers
- Insects
- Headaches
- Clichés
It’s a short list. But I don’t purposely hunt problems. I don’t follow news or cultural/political whimsicalities. I don’t follow commentaries on platforms, peruse photos or listen to podcasts for intent beyond language-development. I do, however, listen to avant-garde music radio stations. I don’t browse Reddit.
Accordingly, exists this proper subset of solutions:
- Venting
- Non-constructive complaints
- Psych consultations
- Stress release workshops
- Medications
- Content Management Systems
- Comfort foods
- Emotional outbursts
- Ear plugs
- Scheduling software
- Reminders
- Air conditioning
- Climate obsessive-compulsive analytics
- Phone applications
- Laptop upgrades
- Security suites
- Cappuccino machines
- Sweeteners
- Sitcoms
- Doctors
- Memory Mattresses
- SaaS
- Voice assistants
- Smart homes
The above solutions cause fragility. You grow dependent on them. They place additional constraints. Energy constraints, financial, and external. Some require complex, multi-layered solutions.
Instead, consider migrating the top list of problems to a list of non-problems. For the mathematical version, it’s simple:
∀ p ∈ P. P = P - {p}. ¬P = ¬P ∪ {p}
With it, you eliminate unnecessary emotion and energy dissipation. Just don’t give a damn. With time, you will not care.
