If I stopped doing this, what would happen?

Most tasks you think are essential would either get done by someone else or prove unnecessary. But the planning fallacy convinces you that your involvement is more critical than it is. Therefore, it seems that excellence without intention is a waste. So why not suggest someone else take the task or drop it completely and watch how rarely the world notices? The paradox of choice explains why this feels difficult. Too many options create paralysis. But you have only three real choices: delegate, transition, or eliminate.

Your highest contribution lies beyond your current competencies, but that current state also creates a blind spot that keeps you trapped in what you know instead of exploring what you could become. Ergo, excellence in the wrong areas prevents excellence in the right ones.

What you stop doing matters more than what you start doing.

Choose intentionally.
