Good reminder not to lose sight of the big picture - it's an easy trap and I know I've fallen for it many times. It reminds me of the idea of giving up good things for the sake of the best things (i.e, there's a lot of tasks/responsibilities I could justify taking on, but doing so would distract me from the things that are most important to me).

I think several of Cal Newport's books would resonate with you.

Good reminder for us to get satisfaction from actual problem resolution, not just task completion!
