[[Personal Kanban]] Asks us to make it work visible and limit our work in progress. Uncontrolled growth of the backlog identifies situation with unclear boundaries and missions. My [[Manager Self]] needs to control new information exposure, create a clear mission statement as directed in [[Essentialism]], and control the backlog so that I can not feel the [[paradox of choice]] It's kind of like a [[Scarcity Mindset]] being applied to information. When we are considering the impact of FOMO on the information sources we act like we are in an information scarcity situation which causes us to not allow processing time for the information we come across. This causes our backlog to grow out of control and increases our stress. We need to [[Limit work in progress]] when it comes to new information exposure in order to allow for adequate processing time. The counter argument is that when you try to distill a life down to “goals and objectives” you are performing a ridiculous reduction of life down to a business speak. Life is emotional, unpredictable, and meaningful. It would be better to look to the philosophical or religious frameworks for guidance on life design. ## Sources: [[Designing Curricula]] [[🐓 Idea Farm/Deadfall/For myself only/Readwise/Books/Understanding by Design]] [[Essentialism]] [[Four Thousand Weeks]] [[How Will You Measure Your Life]] [[Personal Kanban]]
