When faced with an issue, I classify it according to one or more of these “buckets”: Bucket #1: Not actually a problem at all (usually just unnecessary drama). Bucket #2: A genuine problem, but not my problem (none of my business). Bucket #3: A genuine problem, but I can’t do anything about it (it is not within my sphere of influence, or is beyond my capability to solve). Bucket #4: A real problem that I can do something about (basically everything that isn’t in one of the other buckets). If an issue may be categorized into buckets 1, 2, or 3, I don’t waste time or energy on it. If it’s in bucket 4, I get to work on it. I think this approach has saved me much stress.
