I have had my fair share of time wasting tasks that I have deemed "necessary" because I didn't know better. Many of these time wasters are what I call "black holes of opportunity" because the possibilities are endless but they are also tasks that I shouldn't be concerned about mastering. Focusing on the correct things and executing them better each time compounds into success. Whenever you try to make things to complicated they often end up being a weaker product and don't accurately represent the effort that you put into them. Don't let the execution of a task ruin the amount of effort you put into it!
