This episode is about a specific kind of stress — the kind that shows up even when nothing went wrong, even when the work got done.

That stress usually isn't about workload. It's about three things that are easy to miss: unclear priorities, unclear scope, and unclear responsibility.

In this episode:

• Why "working harder" doesn't fix the stress — and often makes it worse
• A real example of a scope gap: being asked for a detail and producing the wrong one — not from carelessness, but from a missing piece of context
• Why the gap between what's asked and what's expected isn't anyone's fault — and how it forms structurally in almost every office
• What happens on a job site in the first few months, and why checking your own drawings against themselves isn't the same as checking them against the building
• The one behavior that changes the cycle: asking for a reference, and asking why
• How to read stress as information instead of a condition to push through
